Guard:Pendulum Sweep

This move is a combo that can start with an arm bar and lead to the pendulum sweep or omoplata/triangle depending on how B reacts.

I want to sweep B to my left so I grip behind B's right elbow so that my palm is cupping the point of the elbow. I use my right arm to hook B's left leg and shrimp my hips out, bringing my right foot towards B's armpit. My left leg then comes over B's head for the armbar. At this point I have two options: I can let go of the elbow grip and try to finish the armbar or I can use my underhook to bring B's leg to my shoulder and grab B's wrist with my right hand.

When B stacks me I simply sweep them over and land in mount. If they pull the arm out I can shoot omoplata/triangle.
