1st sweep
Starting from your closed guard

  •  your opponent has a hold of your gi
  • take both hands under his arms and use your core/legs to bring him closer/on top of you
  • wrap your left arm around his right arm and grap his lapel, use your right hand to help if needed
  • once that is established, open your guard, push away on his left bicep and get your right foot inbetween his legs
  • curl up to him and roll backwards while straightening your right leg for the sweep
  • finish in the mount

2nd sweep
Starting from your knees

  • arm drag your opponent, trapping his left arm, get into the butterfly guard
  • keep tight on that arm, keep your head on the left side of his shoulder
  • with your right hand grab the gi material around his knee
  • roll backwards and stack your opponent over you, straighten out your right arm
  • finish in side control
