Been waiting patiently, and this video did not disappoint. World class instruction, and I like how Francesco tied it back to the previous lesson making the scissor sweep make more sense. He's a gifted instructor and I cannot wait for the "postura" instructional. I've never seen some of these details, like driving with the heels. It feels like you could drive upwards with more power than with flat feet, or toes. Getting the elbow to the hip is another fine detail as I see so many videos say get the forearm inside, but the top person crushes that arm, and you might hurt your elbow in the process. The material in here is pure gold! Hope to see more from him!!!
He mentions that once you get into position, it's not easy for him to post due to the pressure into that shoulder. He also shows an alternative sweep in the other direction if they manage to post.
Hi Aaron, the hand on the knee is not really a wedge, mostly it's there to give direction to the body and to give some internal rotation to uke's body (driving). What makes not easy to post, also because I'm rolling you over the shoulder. If the leg comes up and posts, then I'd use my bottom knee as a wedge behind that leg's knee, as shown in the last part of the video. Hope I helped :)
@@francescofonte76 thanks Franscesco for sharing this sweeps. The second one attracted me particularily. Indeed, this one looks like an X-guard stretch but in stead of having both legs, you have one leg and one arm. Very interesting
I really love this move as a concept - but I've had such a hard time executing it during rolls. I can't seem to create enough space to get my knee in, or to get the single butterfly hook. As soon as I start to create space, the person drives back in. I can frame on the hip to maintain some space, but with long legs, it isn't enough room to get the knee in or the butterfly hook.
The cue that worked for me in a similar situation as yours is that once you got your frames in, you can try to turn towards them pretty much completely on your side. Then you should find the space to get your leg in there. If they want to keep chasing that space it usually means they give you space for your upper body to wrestle up. It's hard for them to chase you with their knees while also keeping pressure on your upper body.
@@francescofonte76 fantastic video. Thank you. I could picture what you were doing the whole time and then it was obvious near the end. Nice rash guard buy the way.
Best underated instructor
I'm definitely going to try it next class. Either I'll die under the pressure or I'll surprise my opponents. Oss

Thank you for your support :)
Your videos deserve so much appreciation.
Good as gold
Too kind :)
I am so absorbed with this move, I have watched it more times than you can count, so unique, absolutely killer moves
Thank you for your feedback :) Let me know if you have any question!
Very first exposure to Mr. Fonte. Will definitely not be the last! Video filled with real gems.
Thank you!
Amazing stuff ❤
super explications. Oss!
Love the video great Details ;)
Great video!
Thank you!
I like it, but what's preventing him posting with the left hand? Ill have to try it but that seems like a huge flaw in this sweep
He mentions that once you get into position, it's not easy for him to post due to the pressure into that shoulder. He also shows an alternative sweep in the other direction if they manage to post.
Thank you! 💪. The hand used as a wedge on the knee - does that adequately prevent an attempted post with that leg to stop the roll?

13:35 - Saulo Ribero has a great breakdown of the butterfly sweep talking about a similar concept. ua-cam.com/video/_3braRnOwFo/v-deo.html
Good class
Thank you!
Would have been nice to see angle from other end to see where legs were going from the outset
Last part of the video with Wim as uke, hooks are more clear :) if you have any question, please ask!
@@francescofonte76 .... I discovered that .... thank you so much. After lockdown 🙄 look forward to trying it
