I think some of these sweeps are in video here (maybe helpful for some people --see vids 4/5): http://bjjeh.blogspot.com/2007/11/bjj-techniques-sweep-from-closed-guard.html Hi Aesopian,

I tried working with these during training last night, and although I wasn't able to get them down exactly as shown, I got a lot of usage out of the concepts. My only problem though is the initial shooting in with the leg into halfguard. A lot of times, I end up in half guard with the guy's knee down already or in some quarter-guard position. How do you manage to get in position for the first sweep? Seems really hard to do if the other guy doesn't stay still. Good stuff Aesopian.

I use all all of those sweeps and i love them. The only difference is that i trap his arm with the leg when i sweep. This prevents him from posting his arm when i sweep him AND it makes it harder for him to kimura me when he is in my halfguard. The only other thing i do different is sweep #1 i use an uppercut motion and try to hook his heel with my bicep instead of grabbign it. Hey that’s my half guard game :P!!!
