To hit this sweep, Bruno starts off by first establishing his guard. He secures a cross collar grip, and grips the gi pants on the same side. Now Bruno can pull himself in and set his hooks. Bruno pulls his opponent and kicks with his legs, effectively trap his opponent’s leg. From here Bruno repositions. He switches his hook to the back of the knee, using his other foot to control the far leg. Bruno then gets control of his training partner’s leg with an over hook around the ankle. This causes his opponent to have a wide base, making him unstable. Now Bruno can pass the leg he has trapped to the other side of his head. He uses both of his hands to control his opponent’s leg. To pass the leg over Bruno uses the gi pant grip to push the leg over while swimming his other hand underneath and over to secure his grip. His arm comes all the way through so he can get his hand behind his training partner’s knee before establishing a collar grip. With the collar grip and leg completely secured, Bruno can start attacking his partner, making him think he is trying for a submission. By pulling his opponent’s arm it causes him to pull back. Bruno uses this momentum to set up, coming to his knee. Notice that Bruno’s other hook it still set, which sweeps his opponent. He keeps that hook while controlling the leg and passing into side control.

As you can tell this is a very powerful sweep that does not require a lot of effort to do. It also allows you to work very methodically from one position to the next.
