What it is
Usually the first sweep you learn. Your legs work like the blades of a pair of scissors: one shin across their belly, one leg chopping their knee, while your grips pull their weight over the top.
Steps, in order
1
Take a deep collar grip with one hand and grab their opposite sleeve with the other. The sleeve grip decides which way they'll fall.

2
Open your guard and hip escape so you're on your side, facing them at an angle instead of flat on your back.

3
Slide your top shin across their belly with the knee blocking their far hip. Keep the foot hooked on their near hip.

4
Drop your bottom leg to the mat behind their knee, on the same side as the arm you're holding.

5
Pull them forward onto your shin with both grips, then kick the top leg over while the bottom leg chops back. Keep the sleeve so they can't post.

Follow them over and land in mount, still holding the collar grip.
