3 Part Lesson -- Paul teaches an attacking sequences based around the Scissors-Sweep: If your opponent steps up from kneeling while inside your Closed/Full-Guard (a.k.a.; Do-Osae, Front-Body-Scissors, &c.) with their foot opposite of your Cross Collar & Sleeve Control, rotate your hips so that you can lay on your side, by pushing off of the platform of your opponent's lap. Keep tension with your grips and point your knee downward, aiming your shin across the opponent's body held out in extension. Pull your elbow backward, yanking the sleeve, and kick your legs together like a pair of scissors, cutting the opponent in half and knocking them over into (the-bottom-of) Mount (also known as Tate-Shihogatame, Top-Saddle, et cetera). [02:22] If your opponent places their knee back down to the ground while mid-scissors, sit up and bind closer (oftentimes switching from a sleeve grip to somewhere around the elbow) to your opponent, and load their hips over your own for the sweep. If they widen out their base by turning out their knee, you can use your bottom leg to kick out their support. [05:01] If your opponent uses grips to lock you out and keep you from sitting up to charge the sweep, place your bottom foot on the near-side hip and take your top leg out from across the opponent's midsection by escaping your hips. Use your top shin to knock away the opponent's arm along the far-side hip and rotate the back of that knee onto your opponent's neck for a tight Triangle Choke.
