The old saying is that there are only two certainties in life – death and taxes. Those are certainly two things of which we may be completely certain – but let me propose a third – IF YOU EVER GET A hold OF BOTH OF YOUR OPPONENTS LEGS (particularly at the ankles) AND PUSH HIM IN SOME WAY – HE WILL FALL TO HIS BUTT. Whenever you have an opponent in your open guard who just seems unsweepable (not sure if that's really a word but I'll go with it ) – GO BACK TO THIS PRINCIPLE. Research ways to get a hold on both ankles from guard whether with hands or feet or both and push – you will bring him down every time I promise you. That doesn't mean you will always score – you have to get up and reverse him for that – but it's a step in the right direction!
