Hip Bump Sweep

The Hip Bump Sweep in BJJ is a very core and fundamental yet exceptionally effective method that's frequently applied when transitioning using the lower body. It utilizes the natural power generated from the user's own hips when 'bumping' an opponent, which also results in sweeping their lower center while taking advantage of any and all weaknesses exposed at that time when attacking and sweeping. It's frequently started by utilizing good body mechanics and a powerful lower base, using either a grip on their limb, such as an ankle area, or, in particular, sleeves. Begin setting yourself and positioning by creating distance that also is secured with an almost springy recoil motion. You will attempt to generate as much lift and rotational force from your hip while using the controlled area from your base grip, performing an upward lift combined with a downward pull with the use of your hand and their torso for added impact. That 'spring,' combined with all additional pulls from your arms, generates enough push with your hips to throw your opponent's weight at the angle necessary to make them unbalanced to transition correctly. Using these forces together should always guarantee a smooth takeover or a successful top position after its sweep-based movement if you correctly utilize control of motion and base.
