Guard: Sit-Up Sweep/Hip Bump
The "Sit Up Sweep" is a very commonly used sweep when T is going to
posture back up and their momentum is carrying them backwards. The setup
we learned is based on when T has both their hands on the lapel, either
to maintain posture or go for a standing guard pass. B swims both arms
around from the outside to come up in between T's arms and breaks the
grips. The swimming motion should ideally force T's hands to the mat on
either side of B's hips. B then comes up on their elbow and reaches over
T's arm right above the elbow. Having a tight arm grip is crucial to
making the sweep work because it takes away T's ability to base out and
it also helps to add a pulling force. At this point it's important to
note that B's guard is open and their feet are planted close to T's
heels to keep the hips close. T then posts up on their hand and in one
motion hip bumps while pulling the arm over.
