Warrior Skills Level 1 - Leader Development for Army Professionals

Performance Steps
h. Sweep from the attempted straight arm bar.
(1) Your opponent tucks his/her head to avoid the arm bar.
(2) With the hand that is behind his/her thigh, pull his/her knee as
close to your head as possible.
(3) That sets up the angle for your spine to be perpendicular; make
sure you maintain the grip on the elbow.
(4) Swing the leg that was suppose to hook his/her head and swing it
in a big circle.
(5) With the leg that is hooked under his/her arm pit, push it towards
his/her head so you will roll right up in mount.
i. Scissor sweep.
(1) Your opponent is attempting to pass your guard as you control
his/her elbows.
(2) When he/she posts one of his/her legs to create space, relax your
guard and keep knees tight to hang on your calf. Post on your opposite shoulder
to swing your butt out toward his/her posted leg, at the same time you do that
your leg will go across his/her waist like a belt, your other side leg goes flat, just
off the ground.
(3) Hook his/her hip with your foot, reach up and secure the collar on
the opposite side of his/her posted leg.
(4) Extend your body to take him/her off his/her base, you will make a
scissoring motion with your legs to sweep him/her over and come up in mount.
3. Finish the fight.
Note: When dominant body position has been achieved, the fighter can begin attempts to
finish the fight secure in the knowledge that if an attempt fails, as long as he/she maintains
dominant position, he/she may just try again.
a. Rear naked choke.
Note: The back mount gives the Soldier the best control of the fight. From this position it is
very difficult for the enemy to either defend themselves or counterattack. Even though a
Soldier may find himself/herself with his/her own back on the ground, this is still the back
mount and they still have control of the fight.
(1) Place your bicep along one side of your opponent's neck; take
your forearm and roll it around to the other side of neck, his/her chin will line up
with your elbow.
(2) Tighten choke up and grab your shoulder or arm.
(3) Opposite hand goes behind the head as if your combing his/her
hair back.
(4) Tuck your head in to avoid getting hit.
(5) Roll your shoulders back, push chest forward and finish the choke.
b. Cross collar choke from the mount and guard.
Note: The front mount is a dominant position because it allows the Soldier to strike the
enemy with punches without the danger of effective return punches, and also provides the
leverage to attack the enemy's upper body with joint attacks.
