Tomoe Nage (Overhead Sweep) from Open Guard

From Sapateiro Jiu-Jitsu Academy

August 10, 2020

Very versatile and important attack when opponents are standing over you with too much commitment.
Being able to threaten someone with flying them over your head is a great way to force them to sit down, exposing them to other more direct attacks
Something that stuck with me at all belt colors and improved with every competition-tested repetition

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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