How To Do The Balloon Sweep From Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

In this video, I show you a great sweep for when your opponent stands up to pass your guard while you still have a collar and sleeve grip. The balloon sweep is a lot of fun to hit on an unsuspecting training partner.

See you on the mats!

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
