The "Dump Truck" Bump Sweep

The "Dump Truck Bump Sweep," taught by Ricardo Migliarese. This one kicks in when you’re in guard and your opponent tries to push down your knee with their elbow, which sets up the move a bit differently compared to when they use their hand.

When your opponent uses their elbow and drives forward, you aim for the Kimura just like before. But here’s the twist - sometimes you can’t get their hand behind their back because they're grabbing their waist or belt. No worries, though. You keep your legs flexible to let them pass while maintaining that tight grip under their arm.

Next move, you scoot your head underneath between their legs, making sure you’ve got their weight right on top of you. This part’s crucial because if they aren't leaning into you, the sweep won’t work. Once you feel their weight settled on you, that’s your cue. You bump them over using a sharp bridge, rolling them off you while still holding onto that Kimura grip.

As you execute the sweep and they topple over, you can then step over their head to secure the position and finish off the Kimura. This technique is all about using their pass to your advantage, turning their momentum against them with a smooth bump to flip the script. So next time they think they’re past your guard, hit them with the Dump Truck Bump Sweep and take control!
