I bought this years ago and only recently revisited it as I was teaching the sweep. Straight, to the point and many details for the classic sweep.
So everyone tells me i should master this sweep since its my last name. Lol. But seriously, the details in this series are great! Im sure ill be sweeping people in no time at all!!!
this video is a encyclopedia on the flower sweep
Great instructional to watch while I'm out injured.
Instructional on different flower sweep attacks
Like all of Dante’s videos, this covers a lot of techniques explained in a manner that is easy to grasp. everything I know about the flower sweep, I learned from this instructional.
I gravitated to this sweep early in my BJJ journey. This video helped clean up the details.
Professor Ante Dzolic put together a great series about the flower sweep with crucial details that helped me to make it work. Especially the section about timing and the variation against bigger and stronger guys elevated my sweeping percentage! He also opened my eyes about the great set up value of this sweep out of closed guard! Higjly recommend!
This course was very helpful since he connects attacks and sweeps seamlessly. He is pretty entertaining and easy to listen to. Highly recommend
Ante gives a Lachlan Giles-esque deep dive into the flower sweep. Many variations are covered as well as solutions to almost any possible opponent choice. This is a great instructional for anyone trying to get underneath an opponent to sweep.
I love the basics! Roger Gracie proved the basics are timeless and Ante can teach you how. I bought this because his side control escape instructional was so damn good. This didn’t let me down either. I’m still working on good execution of the technique but I still have success. Even when I fail, sometimes there’s something else that presents itself that otherwise wouldn’t be there. So glad I got this...
I have two instructionals from Ante, the flower sweep and his side control escapes and I would put his material on power with the more well known names. His material on the flower sweep really helped me understand just how much offense you can build of it, not only does he show how to do the sweep in detail but also when you should attempt the sweep and a comprehensive list of what to do when problems arise. I play closed guard quite a bit and one of the common issues that you can encounter is coming up against that big guy with rock solid base and posture and try as you might you just can't get them broken down. This is the time when you want to have a solid flower sweep to threaten with, if you can hit the sweep great but the real fun (for me anyway) comes from them defending the sweep which opens a whole bunch of options to go on the attack and this is what Ante covers on this DVD. Ante has created a systematic approach to the flower sweep, from attempting the sweep to answering every possible outcome that your opponent may try to prevent/counter with. He does a wonderful job explaining the material. I've bought some big name instructionals and when it comes down to explaining concepts/techniques Ante more than holds his own. I would highly recommend this product especially if you were like me, in that you thought the flower sweep was some basic low percentage easily countered sweep, it was this video that turned it into my one of my go to positions to start offense from. On a side note, his side control escapes material doesn't appear to be uploaded onto this site yet, but I would say it's also fantastic and I'll leave a separate review for that when it's uploaded.
