I try not to get caught up in 'favorites' as you are always looking for those openings and sometimes miss the one in front of you. Remember, always work hardest on the sweeps you don't like, you already know you can make your favorites work if you are good at them.

Also the hip bump (when in the guard and they are up high, say from avoiding an attempted arm lock or guillotine), though it's hard on an old man like me.

I think we're talking different sweeps To clarify, sweeps from guard Got a couple sweeps up there, how about the set ups, which are as important as the actual sweep...
