<p><strong>Double Ankle Sweep - Guard -</strong><span id="PrimaryContent_rptGroups_rptShows_0_lblShowDescription_12"><br /></span><span id="PrimaryContent_rptGroups_rptShows_0_lblShowDescription_10"></span></p>
<p>Your most important task from the bottom of the guard is to avoid all knockout punches. Depending on what your opponent does from<br />within your guard, there are many techniques you can use to reverse the position or win the fight. One situation in which your opponent<br />is vulnerable for a sweep is when they stand up directly over you to throw punches from within the guard. The Double Ankle sweep<br />is a premium example of how leverage and timing can overcome size and strength. In this lesson you will learn two variations of this<br />powerful sweep.</p>
<p>Technical Slices™<br />1) Knee Thrust Variation<br />Indicator: Opponent stands up with their feet very close to your hips.<br />Essential Detail: Simultaneously grabbing the ankles and thrusting the knees<br />Most Common Mistake: Letting go of the head too soon<br />Bad Guy Reminder: Stand tall with your feet very close to your partner’s hips<br />Safety Tip: Keep your head from hitting the ground during the sweep<br />Drill Orders: Start from Stage 1, 1 repetition, reverse roles<br />2) Stand up in Base (Preparation Drill)<br />Essential Detail: Knee must go outside the elbow<br />Most Common Mistake: Hands comes off the ground before foot is planted<br />Drill Orders: Start sitting (solo), 5 repetitions on each side<br />3) Kick Variation<br />Indicator: Opponent is too tall for the Knee Thrust Variation to be effectively applied.<br />Essential Detail: Keep control of the head until the opponent is completely standing<br />Most Common Mistake: Attempting to go directly to the mount<br />Bad Guy Reminder: Be sure to stand up with your hips high to provoke the Kick Variation<br />Safety Tip: When sitting up after the sweep (bad guy) be sure to keep your hands off the ground to avoid injury<br />Drill Orders: Start from Stage 1, use Kick Variation as primary or backup option, reverse roles</p>

<p>In a street fight, your opponent will most likely try to defeat you using one of two methods: 1) knock you out while standing, or 2) tackle<br />you and then knock you out on the ground. You have already learned how to establish the clinch if they attempt to knock you out while<br />standing. If instead, they try to tackle you, you should resort immediately to the Guillotine Choke. In this lesson you will learn the Basic<br />Application first, and then you will learn the two variations that you’d most likely use on the streets.</p>
<p>Technical Slices™<br />1) Basic Application (Preparation Drill)<br />Essential Detail: Hips forward and shoulders back during squeeze<br />Most Common Mistake: Loose initial wrap<br />Safety Tip: Tighten neck muscles for protection<br />Drill Orders: Start standing, 1 repetition on each side, reverse roles<br />2) Standing Variation<br />Indicator: Opponent attempts to tackle you.<br />Essential Detail: Sprawl out until the choke is fully secure then stand up to apply pressure<br />Most Common Mistake: Trying to apply pressure from the sprawled position<br />Bad Guy Reminder: Continue driving during the tackle<br />Drill Orders: Start standing, neutralize tackle, apply choke, reverse roles<br />3) Guard Pull Variation<br />Indicator: Opponent effectively resists the Standing Variation.<br />Essential Detail: High guard and full body extension during squeeze<br />Most Common Mistake: Loose neck control during the transition to guard<br />Bad Guy Reminder: Tighten up your neck muscles and post your hands out during the fall<br />Safety Tip: Squat and shoot your hips far back to avoid knee to groin<br />Drill Orders: Start in the standing Guillotine position, pull guard, apply pressure, reverse roles</p>
