Hip Bump Sweep

Four closed-guard sweeps Chewjitsu wants white belts to learn early: scissor, hip bump, pendulum and lumberjack.

The kimura-to-hip-bump chain from closed guard, so the sweep is there when they defend the shoulder lock.

Jason Scully turns a stuffed hip bump into a back take using the wrestling switch: shoot the arm past the hip and bring your hips out to trap the arm.

Lachlan Giles from collar-sleeve: the triangle when the elbow comes free, and the overhead sweep when they stay tight, pulling with the elbows high and knees to chest rather than pushing away.

Five closed guard sweeps for beginners - scissor, hip bump, flower, pendulum and elevator - each shown with the grips and the common mistake of kicking into your own leg.

Uses the sit-up sweep as a starting point and shows the armbar, triangle and omoplata that appear when the opponent posts or pushes you back down. A tidy first attack chain.

How the hip bump and kimura feed each other depending on the opponent's posture and hip height, with detail on generating speed for the sit-up and trapping the post.
