Open Guard Sweep

First secure the Open guard position with double sleeve control while your opponent is on his knees.  Your feet should be on his biceps. 

Next bridge up,  let go of your right hook, fold the right leg in and place it so that your right shin is on his waist like a knee on belly.  

His natural reaction is to try to push your right knee in and pass the guard.  Bring your right knee in close so that he can't push it in.  

Now hook your right arm under his left knee and rotate to your right so that you're perpendicular to him and your chest is right under his belly.  

Pull opponent a little over his head by using your left leg on his right biceps.  Bring him so that he's completely resting on your shins.  Now sweep him over his right shoulder and land on kneww on Belly position.

Notes: Make sure you never loose the grip on the left hand otherwise the sweep will not work.
