3 Part Technique - One of the most common entries into the X-Guard is from an opponent posting his leg out against your Hook Sweep from Butterfly. Sweeping from the X-Guard is a matter of feeling out your opponent's base and choosing the sweep that will best exploit his weaknesses: If he's preventing you from stretching him out, use his own resistance against him to catch his foot for the Ankle Trap Sweep. If he won't let you do that, hang onto his sleeve and execute the Roll Over Sweep. If he avoids the roll by settling his weight away, sit up with his leg for the Takedown Sweep.
