Master Daniel provided some extra details on sweeps from the guard in this lunchtime class. during the scissor sweep, it is important to pull my elbow close to my body and place completely on the floor. i continue to find the leg push sweep more effective than the pure scissor.
he showed a variation for which the non sweeping foot goes on the uke's hip and my knee goes on uke's shoulder instead of across his body. this makes the sweep much less obvious. if uke grabs my knee, the grip has to be broken at the same time as his knee is pushed by my sweeping leg. i break his grip by grapping his sleeve.
