Double leg take down
Here are some pointers for the double

• Step out with right
• Step across with left
• Don’t lock hands
• Hands on back of elbows
• Shuffle sideways while pushing with your head

Sweep from guard
I saw Renzo Gracie demonstrate a no-gi version of this sweep on IFL.

1. You start out with your opponent pinning you by your biceps
2. Reach over head and swim underneath
3. Shoot arm straight up and grab back of neck
4. Point toes away from active arm
5. With opponent’s elbow gripped
6. Drop knee to ground in direction of toe point
7. Turn on shoulder so torso is perpendicular to ground
8. Carve knee across opponent’s chest and plant high at shoulder joint (so leg doesn’t get pinned)
9. Hook foot strong at belt line
10. Sweep by touching nose to floor. Don’t release belt line hook

Arm Bar variation

1. You can’t get sweep from above because opp postures up.
2. Replant left thigh on opponent’s thigh
3. Lift right leg up into opponent’s armpit with toe straight up
4. Launch off left thigh and point toes to right
5. Swing leg around and over opponent’s head
6. Drive heels to ground with opponent’s arm trapped
