I’ve been using these sweeps for 20 years and he explained them very succinctly. I will tell you one thing I teach: Never let go of the sleeve. You can better control the recovery scramble and often dictate the pass-positioning by keeping their arm straightened and under pressure. Steer it over their face, or keep it pinned away from them, sometimes you can or may need to exchange you sleeve gripping hand but do not release the sleeve and keep your hooks under pressure until you set up and complete the scramble to pass. Very good sweeps and they never age out!
This guy is my bjj go to i swear😭 thank you for the content. Working on open guard in class this week and using this to prep before going into class. Much love!!
This is gold, I wish all instructors taught beginners from conceptual perspective, that way you can start to do something when rolling even when you don't know many techniques yet
I’m only a white belt so obviously haven’t learned much but how simple this just made sweeps seem is amazing I can’t wait to get back on the mats and try all I’ve been learning from professor Tom after this lockdown... many of these I wish I was taught it my first few months honestly
If I could only follow one BJJ channel on TH-cam, it would The Grappling Academy. Professor Tom's explanations/demonstrations of each technique are incredibly easy to follow/understand.
This is a great one and works very well! Pro tip: Hang on to that sleeve and as they go down they will pull you right up on top of them, use their momentum. I usually end up in their half guard but it's easy to pass if you control their leg until you get your leg out and you should end up on top side control.
Thank you for these concept videos. You nailed it when you said understanding the principles allows you to create techniques and understanding concepts is what has helped me develop more. I appreciate this as a 6'2" 270lb competitor who cant close my guard around my opponents and their typically large midsection. I've been working on my butterfly/sitting guard and I think learning how to transition when they stand will help me and my game. Thank you and I love this style video where you teach the principle and slow it down to emphasize the important parts.
Im always improving my home academy as it continues tog row constantly. We have packed mats for all of our multiple daily classes nowadays. (-: Tom Davey
I have not competed in sanctioned mma but perhaps some news in 2020.....???? I still teach mma each week and love to spar so …..(-: Professor Tom Davey
so many BJJ "instructors" lately making videos. just like karate in the 80´s. guys that have a belt but have never been in a fight. hard to teach what you do not know for real.
I appreciate the captions mimicking his accent to keep me fully engaged.

Great advice Paulo. Thank you for your constructive addition to the learning material. (-: Professor Tom Davey
I knew some of these sweeps but nobody explained to me the principle. Thanks!
Great video. I love learning the principles instead of just moves.

Thanks Michaela 🙏🥋☺️
I'm working on everything still lol
this is the channel i come to when i need help on a submission or a sweep
The new thumbnails are great, props to whoever does them
Great how you teach concepts and not just techniques. Thank you!
Appreciate the slow motion replays as it helps to allow the movements to sink in more deeply.
I wish we had schools here with such a happy attitude/feel...
Really like the theory behind these sweeps!
I like the idea of drilling that in varying combinations.
Thanks coach Tom. I haven’t come across this stuff anywhere else yet.
Awesome explanations! Finally some logic for white belts. Thanks for sharing this.
Good vidja mate. I feel like the noises made you explain it wayyy better.

The editing is on point. I like it.

Really love these principal videos. Thanks so much!
Your videos have been so helpful; thank you!
This was so useful as a white belt
Thank you Uncle Tom!
Brilliant concepts, really helped me. Thank you
Thanks ! What makes the technique work really helps!
I like your videos & style of teaching. Post more please
Love the vids Coach Tom!
Thank u for this!
This is amazing. So well thought out and brilliantly explained.
Great info...really appreciate it !
That is an awesome principle
Great video. Would you please do a video about sweep concepts from the closed guard?
F_ckn love this Guy!
Awesome man! I like the "teach someone to fish" philosophy, as opposed to "here's a fish for ya" lol
Thank you

That was awesome
Nice video man!
👍 Great video!
thanks Coach, are you making renovations to your gym, videos look different now

Allways too good
Sick ass vid as always. 🤙🏽
Yaaaas!! Thank you! 👏 OSS
Mahalo nui sir!
Great video but that damn door killing it lol
So would that leg hook sweep be considered a sweep or takedown?
Sweep. (-: Tom Davey
How do you explain some people being swept with just one ankle and one hip/double hip control? Do they just have bad balance?
They are most likely not reinforcing against the pressure with their free leg. Example: Hips staying squared up instead of bladed.
Ninja's response below is spot on. These kind of opponants disappear at black belt lol (-: Tom Davey
Just curious, obviously your an expert in BJJ. Have you ever competed in MMA?
I have not competed in sanctioned mma but perhaps some news in 2020.....???? I still teach mma each week and love to spar so …..(-: Professor Tom Davey
@@TheGrapplingAcademy Honost with integrity as advsrtised! If it happens in 2020, I'll definitely be watching:) And good luck in your endeavors:)👍🏼
Should a white belt ever be able to throw and sweep a established black belt? Bjj grading system is the maddest thing ever.
An ankle, a hip and a far leg sweep
😮❤🔥👏
I just call them tripod sweep, tripod sweep and single-x basic sweep lol
so many BJJ "instructors" lately making videos. just like karate in the 80´s. guys that have a belt but have never been in a fight. hard to teach what you do not know for real.
And there are also many of us that have fought countless times......(-: Tom Davey - The Grappling Academy
hey bro you better put another nail in that plywood before you break someones neck
New format not as good as old format imo
fair enough. (-: Professor Tom Davey
