This is just wrong

andre - The sad thing is the student grabs the correct side but the instructor "corrects" him by having him grab the wrong side. Jackass.


 Wow.

to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, the expert village clips cover everything from cooking to brazilian jiu jitsu, i think they are meant as a guide to complete n00bs. So maybe he was he wasn't trying to teach a detailed scissor sweep, maybe he was just trying to give a casual viewer the basic idea.

but that being said, its complete garbage :)

it would be just as easy to teach it correctly tho...

it's time for a credible instructor to post a video on the basic (but fundamental)scissor sweep. looks at Andre

lol

That's a lame excuse man. Don't let jackasses like this off that easily.

I'm new to BJJ & I can see many mistakes, so from a BJJ BB this is a joke!

Kurt Oslander has a clip where he teaches it in 3 minutes quickly, and it's flawless.

It isnt "just" the hand on the wrong collar (although I dont think an argument can be made for doing it on the wrong side...yeah, it might work, but you lose pulling leverage and give up the threat/oppportunity of the choke), but if you look at the base of the guy being swept, you can see that his weight is rested completely over his heels. That is a pretty major detail to ignore, imo.

thats horrible

the wrong collar side would set up for a armbar. bothways are ok. you will get the sweep off the wrong collar.it would also set up the choke from the mount also.

it's preference though

It helps to find a training partner that wants the move to work every bit as much as you want the move to work. That way you don't have to worry about silly things like base or weight distribution. :)

thanks calibur1980. I'll check that out.

on that note I found this James Clingerman video really helpful:

Like Andre pointed out the key detail of getting their weight on you was missing. I find that when I miss doing this in live sparring you will not be able to sweep the guy.

BTW in Kurt's video he mentions that the collar grip is a "preference" thing but he also shows the benefit of getting the choke with a cross collar grip.

I dont understand why you couldnt keep the same choking grip for the armlock transition. I really dont see any benefit to grabbing the wrong side collar like that. Does anyone else do it that way?

His no-gi 12 transitions from peruvian necktie attempt is pretty good too.

I learned the technique using a cross-collar grip so at first glance I really don't. I remember seeing a video from chris haueter a while back where he used that "wrong-side" collar and he used it to stiff arm the guy when he wanted to get on his knees.

i'll try to find it.

Sometimes I do. I feel like I get more of a piston motion into my opponents shoulders the same way I would for a Judo throw like....say... Osoto Gake

Personally, I feel like any slight benefit you get from the piston or punching motion is outweighed by the ability to pull and/or transition to the choke.

I do not. It's important to remember that with the hand gripping the "correct" collar (palm up) you are always one grip away from finishing with the cross collar choke.

Yeah, definitely. I'm not saying that's what I prefer, I am just saying that's what I do if I somehow end up in that weird position. If my opponent is already loaded I'm not gonna release my grip just so I can set up the choke better. I go with it and I get my arms more involved.

The same side collar grip actually feels very natural to me when doing a gas pedal sweep, which obviously is a common follow up to a scissor sweep attempt.

this guy also makes a point to say that the knee is across the belly, not across the chest

isn't that wrong too? Shouldn't the knee be higher up on the chest to get more power from the sweep? also, having the knee be low on the belly like that sets you up for a leg weave pass.

this guy is a black belt under Ricardo Teixeria
