M/2 backdoor sweep

Rick Macauley showed us this move at his seminar. Thanks to Andrew for helping me with my notes. This is a good sweep if you go for m/2 and the opponent sits back too far.

1. Establish m/2 guard from half guard on his right side.

2. Outside (left) hand feeds opponent's trapped (right) side lapel to your other (right) hand. Grip his belt with your outside (left) hand.

3. Switch hooks on opponent's leg so that now inside (right) foot hooks underneath and your outside (left) foot hooks over top.

4. Inside (right) leg kicks and lifts the opponent forward as you escape to the back. An elbow escape may be necessary to successfully complete transition to opponent's back.

5. You should escape enough to end up parallel with your opponent, but with your inside (right) foot hooking his knee. Copy that with your other (left) foot. Make sure to maintain both your grips too.

6. Attack the opponent's back:

   1. If he goes forward, pressure into the opponent. Then leap onto his back.

   2. If he goes backward, straighten your hooks under his knees to take out his base and roll his back to your body.

   Then attack the opponent's neck: when he raises hands to defend, insert your hooks over his legs.
