Swipe the defender’s hands away with your opposite hand, across your own body, then get your shoulder through. The video calls this swipe the “swat” and follows it with the rip: it’s the same move.
Key points
- The sweep starts from the top and moves down across the body; it does not push forward.
- Hit the triceps, not the hand: the hand pulls away, but the arm stays in place.
- The shoulder follows the sweep immediately; otherwise, the player repositions his hands.
Common mistakes
- Swiping at thin air because you’re starting too early.
- Staying square after the swipe, which offers your chest again.
