Basic Elevator Sweep- MMA Training, Jujitsu and Mauy Thai

This great move is best employed when your opponent is on his knees in your open butterfly guard (your two feet are hooked under your opponent's thighs). Sit up and lock your arm around your opponent's upper arm (overhook). With your other hand secure your opponent's elbow or wrist. Fall directly to the side of the wrist or elbow you have grasped. As you fall, lift with the foot on the opposite side you are sweeping towards. Push off the ground with your other foot. This combined action topples your opponent over to the side and onto his back. Keep driving until you end in the mounted position or across his side.
