X-Guard Sweeping Principles
X-guard is primarily a sweeping position. The foot positioning creates opportunities for multiple types of sweeps from different angles.
Classic X-Guard Sweep
The fundamental X-guard sweep uses hip movement and foot pressure to lift your opponent. This sweep is high-percentage and forms the foundation for all X-guard sweeping.
Advanced X-Guard Sweeps
Once you master the classic sweep, develop advanced variations. Each variation targets different defensive responses from your opponent.
