The most satisfying foot sweep for JiuJitsu - Owen Livesey

[@shortlittledude]

Tommy - nice break falls from getting swept, and swept, and swept. Thank you for your sacrifice. We can’t train Judo or BJJ without our partners. Great video, hoping to try this in tonight’s class!

[@fiachoconnor]

Excellent coaching. Saying only what's pertinent. I loved it. So many coaches start rambling or try to be funny while teaching, which is OK, but sometimes I find it very distracting and confuses the lesson. Great job teaching a savage sweep.

[@CJ-ej6sk]

When I was first learning to grapple years ago there were no high-quality instructional videos like this one on KZbin. You had to wait until class or sparring day every week and practice on your own with a dvd/vhs or with friends in your garage. We are all very lucky to have guys like Owen Livesey on tap whenever we want to learn something. This guy's students are very lucky to have him as their teacher.

[@garymanrose7784]

Trained with the Carlson Gracie guys last weekend, amazing gym great energy and next level coaching, very jealous

[@pgjudo]

There were plenty of high quality instructional videos with these techniques. It’s entry level Judo; Sasae Ashi.

[@killerkendro]

Yep same. 15yrs in, there was nothing back in. Kids these days are spoiled now. Hence why they’re getting good so fast

[@Schwerthase]

Very nice demonstration and explanation of the technique with a charming accent. Thanks!

[@The.Introvert.Explorer]

The simplest techniques are often the most effective, especially when explained as clearly as this! Very succinct, keep it up!

[@toomanydogs1527]

Thanks for this. I hit this sweep today at a comp and it led me straight to winning.

[@TheGreaterU]

Awesome application of multiple principles shown here: the push/pull, controlled relaxation, engaging the hips, breaking posture. Well done.

[@JBplumbing12]

I find it hard to take martial art instructors seriously who like to use people half their size to demonstrate on.

[@RadicalTrivia]

I love that you covered the detail about tense versus relaxed, and how it makes it easy to read someone if they don't know that detail. I talk about this ALL THE TIME in my class. Thanks for the great video!

[@hooks4nooks]

I'm not a fighter but find this super fascinating. I love the dynamics of it all, especially the part about being relaxed, because there's nothing worse than the surprise of when you feel burst strength. I can totally imagine, "oh s**t, this guy's frickin crazy strong!" I wish I would have gotten into this 30 years ago when I was in my 20's. The instructor is built like a tank. Damn.

[@feline2322]

Never too late to start!

[@chickasawmike1319]

I attended a free class at Grip Game Jiu Jitsu in Denison, Texas and it was SO FUN! I would sign up if I could afford it. You guys are so lucky to have this. If there is anyone who is thinking about trying Jiu Jitsu my advise to you is start right now! Do not be scared and do not procrastinate, this is the best exercise in the world, it is amazing for the mind and the body.

[@dmichaelpage]

This is great - we did this exact sweep, with the set up for the front headlock, last night. REALLY helps to see it again to help cement it.

[@theinfjgoyim5508]

The relaxed thing, it is really really important if you are going to use power and speed. I think some people know about it but not everyone and if you are tense it is like showing your cards. This guy gives a lot of good advice.

[@paulstewart2852]

Great explanation and evolution of the technique. That head-lock escape - awesome.

[@nathanieltillman2355]

Simple explanation, well demo'd multiple times, basic questions and subtleties covered, no long intro, and straight to the point. Liked and subbed thank you for this and Thank you to the Uke.

[@thegrappleclub558]

Appreciate it!

[@VikingFightFitness]

We have a very similar sweep in the Muay Thai clinch, but instead of the undertook in this style we would use the same hand on the lat and drive up while pulling on the neck, or like you describe the collar tie. The rest is pretty much the same

[@VikingFightFitness]

@Andrew Onymous I don’t know the reasoning behind why they can’t use judo throws. As far as I’m aware they have never been allowed, but some trips and sweeps can be vague in where the line is drawn. 100% no hip style throws, I think the confusion is when trying to hook with the heal or trip with the heal. You can use the instep to sweep or you can lock the calf with the heal, but it is illegal to trip with heal however you do see some fighters get away with some variation of this. So yes it can be frustrating. I guess if it was allowed it would pretty much become sanshou with knees and elbows, which would look pretty cool actually.

[@cypresspuz]

MT Throws are fascinating mate

[@VikingFightFitness]

@@cypresspuz one of my favourite parts of Muay Thai.

[@hukit0]

@@VikingFightFitness It is generally thought to be political. Thailand was essentially colonized and invaded by Japan during the early 1900s, and judo began to be introduced to Thailand. Throws that are distinctively Japanese/judo-like were banned (hip throws, or hook trips, like osoto gari). Throws that overlap (e.g., sasae tsurikomi ashi in the video) are legal. Sanshou has hip throws because they are found shuai jiao, which is debatably the source of Japanese jujutsu/judo (these things are blurry though).

[@VikingFightFitness]

@@hukit0 That’s awesome thanks mate. I’ve been fighting and training in in and out of Thailand since 2005, and been teaching it for a while now. No one has ever been able to explain why certain trips and throws are illegal, myself obviously included. When I have asked trainers in Thailand they say it’s just a foul ha ha. So your explanation makes perfect sense. 🙏 thanks

[@carldunai7341]

I can’t wait to try this! Thank you! 9 years of bjj, smaller guy guard player. Having a lot of fun mucking around with stand up recently. I don’t have much cardio, so anything sneaky like a foot sweep is so appealing. Even if I only ever learn to hit them on small white belts, what a good time haha

Great video, and phenomenal instructor. Thanks coach!

[@Bourne1984]

One of my absolute favourites but I only do Gi. I swear I can see the surprise on their faces as they go down which is my favourite part. Great tutorial.

[@mattpatt199]

Is it very similar for Gi bro or are you actually grabbing a collar of the gi etc?

[@Bourne1984]

@@mattpatt199 I personally grab a high grip on the right lapel, and left sleeve. It then always initiates the push pull and then it’s the timing. Which is as always the hardest part and I’m no expert by any means. I do BJJ and we have a really high level judo black belt that trains with us and I believe this is how he does it. But to be honest he could probably do it without using his hands! It’s sparring tonight so hopefully I will be able to get someone. All the best.

[@jayess7177]

Best explanation of underlying concept I've seen in a long time

[@stanleymartin7469]

Why is it always a big guy using his techniques with a little guy

[@whiskyweasal89]

Because it’s easier to show the proper technique with resistance. You could do it with someone the same weight. It’s just a little easier to maintain control while guaranteeing a demonstration of the technique while still being under some pressure.

[@JamesAndersonPKWC]

Nice video. Detailed. It makes me appreciate judo more even while I grin with knowing satisfaction why judo players always hate true strikers. Kimura when asked why he didn’t train with a partner but instead practiced on trees, replied, “People break.” Of course, his minimum standard was 600 push-ups a day, how many modern goldfish lemmings have that? Watching this video, all I can think is, uppercuts, arm breakers, temple shots, heart shots, spleen, liver, ribs, or stomach and diaphragm if playing nice. It is said Kimura and Masutatsu Oyama were friends, and everybody knew their measure. For some, the earth is their weapon, and I’m the first to say, if anybody wants to talk about ‘ground game’, perhaps seeing a watermelon slammed on a he parking lot asphalt might help it sink in, for others, their weapons are their fists, feet, palms, fingers, shoulders, elbows, knees, shins, some even like to head butt. Grappling, whether it be called judo, jiu jitsu, wrestling or ‘rasslin, sambo, vale tudo, mallayuddha, whatever, simply doesn’t work against multiple attackers, and anyone of true nous knows, the exception only reinforces, the rule.
