Here, Travis shows the Scissor Sweep

• Step 1

Travis has Steve in his closed guard with a collar and sleeve control
• Step 2

To start the sweep, Travis uncrosses his feet as he lifts his hips as high as he can
• Step 3

He then rolls to his left while keeping his hips off the floor and balancing on his left shoulder
• Step 4

Next, Travis pushes his hips away from Steve and lands sideways in a crunched position with his left leg on the floor alongside Steve’s leg and his right leg across Steve’s chest.
• Step 5

He now pulls Steve toward him so that Steve’s head is almost aligned with his. Then he kicks his right leg to the left and his left leg to the right in a scissor like movement to get the sweep
• Step 6

Finished with the reversal, Travis lands in the mount position.
