" This is Don Daly representing expertvillage.com and in this clip we are going to demonstrate a standing sweep with a closed guard. The guy is in my guard, he decides he wants to stand up, so he stands but I keep my guard closed, keep my legs locked tight, he don’t open my guard. I go to reach for his heels, he steps one foot back so I cannot reach it. So what I do is I switch to the other leg, this other leg I want to come around like this I am going to come under I am going to bring myself to his foot. Okay so I reach under, I want to get to the point where the inside of my elbow is right under his heel right here. So I come under and I grab here, I am going to cup my hands here together. So I come here, hands together here, now all I am going to do is I am going to pull, I am going to pull on his leg and straighten my body out. As I pull his leg and I straighten my body out, he comes over, I sit up to one side and take him out. So close guard he stands, I reach, he pulls his foot back, I switch to the other side, I come underneath inside here and hands here, I pull in, straighten my body out and he pulls over I just follow on, okay take him out of position."
