The scissor sweep has always been one of my favourite techniques in Jiu-Jitsu. I have used it for years and taught it for nearly as long, and over that time I have added small details that make it a reliable and effective part of anyone’s game.
The scissor sweep has always been one of my favourite techniques in Jiu-Jitsu. I have used it for years and taught it for nearly as long, and over that time I have added small details that make it a reliable and effective part of anyone’s game. With these refinements it becomes a technique that works for all body types and all levels, not just the flexible or the flashy.
I hope you enjoy this positional instructional and start sweeping people easier than ever.
