Legs sweeps are also great at setting up follow up techniques like double and single leg takedowns, guard pulls, or other throws and leg sweeps. Find a technique that you like and make it work for you. It won’t come easy initially. You have to drill the movements, drill the follow up if opponent counters, and drill counters so you know what to expect.
