Double ankle sweep

An open guard sweep against a standing opponent. You hold both ankles and use your feet on their hips to tip them over backward.

Key steps

  1. Grab both of their ankles from open guard as they stand over you.
  2. Set both soles on their hip bones, knees bent and ready to extend.
  3. Push their hips back with your feet while your hands haul the ankles toward you.
  4. Sit up as they fall and come into top position before they recover.

Key details

  • With both heels held, they have no foot free to step back, so the push takes them over.
  • Pushing without pulling, or pulling without pushing, only moves them a little.
