Waiter sweep

A deep half guard sweep named for the palm-up arm that lifts their free leg. Raising that leg takes their last post, so they tip over.

Key steps

  1. Get under them in deep half with their trapped leg hugged and locked.
  2. Slide one arm under their free leg near the knee, palm facing up.
  3. Lift that leg high while your legs push the trapped leg away from you.
  4. Keep lifting as they tip over, then come up on top before they recover.

Key details

  • A small lift lets them hop and keep their base, so raise the free leg high.
  • Drifting out from under their hips brings their weight down onto your chest.
