Single Leg X Guard Basic Sweep

SINGLE LEG X GUARD BASIC SWEEP //
Today I am demonstrating what I consider a very basic sweep from the single leg x guard.
The single leg x guard is my favorite guard in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and this is the first sweep I think people should learn from it.
In this video I show both a basic method of attaining the sweep from the single leg x guard and an advanced take on the sweep.
There is a common misconception with the single leg x guard that people assume it is a submission oriented position. Although this is somewhat true, the single leg x guard is also incredible for sweeping and one of the best guards in bjj.

I hit this first time on Wednesday against a larger blue! I had it again but when i was very vertical i couldn't pull it off even with the far leg grip (im only 120lbs) Any ideas from there, change to another guard maybes?

Warren Wilson there are a lot of options when this fails. I will be posting a bunch of videos on various sweeps you can connect with this in the coming days! I typically switch to “modified single X.” I just filmed a whole video on this situation that should be up by Monday.
