3 Part Technique - If you notice you're outmatched in the stand-up battle, don't hesitate to take the fight to the ground by pulling guard rather than with a takedown or throw. Sweeping your opponent afterward is a matter reading his weight and exploiting the weakness in his choice of base: If his weight is slightly foward, toss him overhead with the Balloon Sweep. If his weight it slightly away from you, gain cross sleeve control and trip him backward with the Tripod Sweep variation. If his weight it back but you cannot readily kick out his posting foot, sit up into Butterfly and attack the Single Leg, finishing by running the pipe to the mat.
