The next sweep that we are going to work on is called the Mayflower Sweep. It's got a couple of different names, Mayflower, a Helicopter sweep, got a few names for instead off with the Scissor Sweep.
There are a lot of sweep like the mayflower sweep and then itself is where I take one arm and I go underneath his legs. We are going to show this from a couple of different angles, but I am really just looking off to the back of his thigh. I am still controlling his arms or his head, I like to control the arm and then I use this leg to give me a little move, I am going to kick it right over up as high as I can. Notice that his body and my body are at a 90 degree angle. I am not sitting under him trying to do this, you will never get a sweep, I am out of the angle. My foot is underneath and still, it's going to be hooked onto his ribcage and this leg is going to swivel him.
If I try to take him straight over to his side, I am not going to get this sweep, I have got to take him over his shoulder, his whole body over his shoulder, all in one motion. So, from the start, I open my guard, I reach down and hook his leg all in one motion, we go over into the mount. One more time, different angle, we are here, I am going to open my guard, I shrimp my hips. My arms goes in and under grabbing the back of his thigh.
This leg pressed up against his ribcage, controlling the arm or controlling the head either one, this leg reaches out and we are going over his shoulder. I am not trying to push him straight this way, I am trying to push him over to an angle. So, we are here, all in one motion. Over into the mount position, from a different angle. We are here, I reach under, swing my legs, over into the mount.
I reach under, shrimp my hips, legs in the right position, I use this from the minute I reach up the mount. So, we are here, all the way up and over into the mount. This is called your Mayflower sweep or your Helicopter sweep from the guard position sweeping your opponent over into your mount.
