Practice Log: Standing Sweeps (Judo)
Instructor: Jared Haymon

Preliminary Concepts
Jared instructed us on the concept of attacking in 3's. Think about 3 moves/escapes/attacks and execute them one after another. If first fails, second may succeed. If second fails, third will succeed 90%+ of the time. This concept appears to be what separates blue belts from purple belts.
For standing sweeps, move in 3d. For example:
- Pull one arm
- Rotate
- Push lapel
Jared's standup game cheatcode:
- Grip opponent's wrist with cross grip and grip the seam of opponent's gi at their armpit
Standing Sweeps
Grip same-side lapel and same-side arm of opponent
Keep opponent shoulder centered with my cest
Step my foot around opponent's inside leg and apply pressure to the top of the opponent (trying to trip them)
If opponent steps over my foot, "hop" over so my leg is behind the opponents outside leg (my leg will be inbetween opponent's legs)
If opponent steps around that, bring my leg to wrap around the opponent's other leg, drop to my knee, bring them down
We can use any combination of these in 3's
Hip Sweep
- Grip lapel and arm (same side for each)
- Release lapel
- "hop" into opponent with my hips inline with their and my back facing them
- Keep feet close together, squat to get my hips below theirs
- Drive my hips back and up (almost like jumping backwards into them in order to load them onto my hips
- Dump 'em
Cheat Code from Jared
- Grip opponent's wrist with cross grip and grip the seam of opponent's gi at their armpit
- Rotate opponent by pulling arm, move seam grip to their belt, pull my hips to theirs (tight)
- Transition wrist grip to other hand, start going for RNC
- When opponent goes to fight the RNC, grip that wrist
- You now have both wrists and are tight on their back
- Hook my right leg around the inside of opponent's left leg (or vis versa) and bring them down to the ground with my "high grip" should to the ground
- Get a leg hook in, rotate to other side so my low grip is on the ground, control the high grip arm with my lieg
- Finish with RNC
