Summer Camp 2022: Do this and all your sweeps (and sweep defences) get better! with Francesco Fonte 

In less than one minute my mind was blown

man, these concepts are very powerful thanks for this.

I knew Leon the profesional was into jitz 😂

Francesco is always such an awesome teacher :) great stuff. combines the priit's stuff with wim's and some additional detail about sweep angles! LOVE IT!

Thanks Francesco...always a pleasure to watch you teach. I hope one day in person.

Great point at the end. So you basically position your opponent to have all his weight on the centerline of one body part (in most cases a knee or foot). Apply constant pressure. Then as soon as he shifts his weight in any direction you can tip him because his knee or foot is still pinned and his head is out of alignment. Always have your hips come up first. If he can do something to keep his posture in the direction of the sweep, he’s safe in that direction.

That was an excellent seminar! Sweeps have always been a focal point of my guard game. I am very strong at setting up, adjusting and finishing some of them and others I just have moderate success based on opponents' experience. I just thought some of that had to do with some sweeps being inferior to others or being more suited to different body types but this puts things into clarity for me. I simply apply these principles better for some sweeps and less so for others! Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge!

Excellent!

Great lesson! Francesco Fonte is so good at explaining details and concepts! Thank you!

I have been watching your videos. I must say I really enjoy your content. I get a couple of really good add on to my game. I even show another student one of the moves. I was glad to see another new video. Thank you

Strong principles. Awesome teaching!

Grande Mestre Francesco!

This was amazing and eye opening .

Some great tips for me to try ❤

Big thx

Francesco should be in a movie about a gentle priest who has to take matters into his own hands when a band of hoodlums try to take over his village.

😂🤣 He was like @15:00. I defeat the sweep by sweeping myself for him ahhhhhh ahhhhh.

Fantastico

The scissor sweep, i learned the same thing from henry akins, but minus the head control detail. Did you “invent” that detail by yourself from failures to sweep when the opponent is sitting straight up? Thank you Francesco!

Wow

At 25:00 you talk about facing the way you are being swept. In another seminar (this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ykIne0b7iG8.html) Priit uses baby bridge while facing away from the direction of the sweep to 'reduce the damage' from getting swept. How would you combine these two postures?

Ciao Francesco

What is the name of the bridge technique being referenced?

First!

Some great tips for me to try ❤
