If you’re competing in a point-based tournament, it helps to know a few tried-and-true techniques that can help you get a bunch of points with one movement. Sweeps that end with you in mount are the perfect way to get this accomplished, and while they can be tricky, there are a few fundamental sweeps that you can learn no matter how new you are to jiu-jitsu.

Take a look and remember to drill these so much that you can do them in your sleep!
