Master Fabio Gurgel articulates an important emphasis when applying an imbalance to his opponent with a Hook Sweep: Although your Butterfly-Hook is a key element to executing the technique, one shouldn't expend unnecessary effort by loading up and then flipping your opponent with a costly leg-extension; rather, one should anticipate their reaction and utilize timing to help elevate for the sweep. Weave your Over-Hooking hand onto your thigh and deliver downward pressure as you stretch out your Butterfly-Hook and collapse their posture. When your opponent goes to drive back into your force, capture the far-elbow and begin pressing off the mat with your bottom-foot to reverse position and take possibly Top-Mount.
