# Grappling Sweeps and Reversals Guide
|
|
|
|
## 🔄 What is a Sweep/Reversal?
|
|
|
|
A **sweep** or **reversal** is a technique that allows you to flip your opponent to reverse positions. Unlike takedowns that start standing, sweeps are typically executed from the ground when you're in a disadvantageous position (guard, half-guard, etc.). The objective is to go from an inferior position to a dominant position, often ending up mounted or in side control on your opponent.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of sweeps and reversals:
|
|
- Reverse disadvantageous positions
|
|
- Create offensive opportunities from defensive positions
|
|
- Use leverage and timing over strength
|
|
- Transition from bottom to top control
|
|
|
|
Mastering sweeps requires understanding weight distribution, leverage points, and perfect timing to catch opponents off-balance.
