How to Hit a Perfect Foot Sweep From an Outside Collar Tie!

From Cloud Nine MMA

November 6, 2026

A great BJJ foot sweep isn't about kicking harder. It's about timing, leverage, and control!

Watch as a Jiu Jitsu black belt demonstrates how to execute an effective foot sweep from an outside collar tie. When your opponent has a strong collar tie, switching grips, controlling the wrist, and creating the right angle can set up a powerful takedown.

The key is coordinating your upper-body pull with the foot sweep at the exact moment your opponent shifts their weight. Get the timing right, and you can take your opponent down without relying on brute strength!

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
