Lasso Sweep
Position Details
The lasso sweep uses the lasso guard configuration where your leg wraps around their arm. This creates tremendous control and powerful sweep opportunities.
Key Principles
- Establish lasso guard by wrapping your leg around their arm
- Control their other sleeve with your opposite hand
- Create a strong angle by hip escaping to the lasso side
- Sweep by elevating with the lasso while pulling the sleeve
Concepts
- Lasso Depth: The deeper your lasso wrap, the more control you have
- Angle Importance: Hip escaping creates the angle needed for the sweep
- Elevation Power: Your lasso leg can generate significant lifting force
- Sleeve Pull: The far sleeve grip prevents posting and assists the sweep
