Do you know the old man sweep in Brazilian jiu-jitsu? If you don’t, you need to learn it. It is so simple that even the lowest ranking white belt can pull it off, but so effective that even ADCC and IBJJF Champion Marcelo Cohen uses it in his competitions.
According to Cohen, the move is called “the old man sweep” because even though your opponent can see it coming, he or she will still fall like an old man. This will earn you an easy six points if you’re competing.
In the video below, Marcelo Cohen shows you all the details you need to know in order to pull off the old man sweep.
Cool sweep. Though as a Master7 competitor wished he’d give it a different name. Lol
