So I just heard of the Homer Simpson Sweep, created by Jeff Glover. Not only is this the most awesome name for a martial arts technique ever, it seems very useful.
No, you don't get drunk at Moe's then binge on donuts while sweeping your kitchen. That sounds like fun, although I'm sure Marge would disapprove.
It goes like this:
From deep half guard, if your opponent has a solid base, pinch your knees together and walk your hips toward the front. When his knee gets straight, you quickly pop up to your knee like you have a single leg sweep, and put him on his back.
Jeff calls it the Homer Simpson sweep because of the way Homer falls on the ground and runs around in circles on his side. Someone said it should be called the Curly Sweep because he's doing the Curly shuffle, but I am going to say that Curly travelled forward in time and stole it from Homer. Because Homer is the man. Period.
Now for some beer & donuts.
