The Standard Scissor Sweep opens the closed guard, places the top knee (shin) across the opponent's chest as a frame, grips the collar and sleeve, then chops the bottom leg across the opponent's far knee while pulling with the collar grip to roll them over. [1] The shin frame prevents the opponent from driving forward while the chopping leg eliminates their base, and the upper body grips direct the sweep. [1],[2] The combined scissoring action of the two legs, coordinated with the grip pull, creates the rotational force that completes the sweep. [2],[3]
The standard scissor sweep is one of the most mechanically efficient sweeps in BJJ, using minimal energy for maximum effect when the opponent's weight is centered. [1] It is particularly effective when chained with the hip bump sweep as a complementary pair — if the opponent posts back to defend the hip bump, they become vulnerable to the scissor sweep, and vice versa. [1],[2]
The scissor sweep uses a knee shield and sleeve grip to sweep the opponent laterally from closed guard. [1]
The scissor sweep is a standard technique in IBJJF competition. [1]

White belts often get crappy grips early on. Instead, get as deep as possible into the lapel, using your four fingers to touch the tag at the back, and establish a really strong grip before proceeding with the sweep.
Bring your knee at a diagonal angle going from hip up to the chest, not down toward the opponent's waist, because it's very easy for them to crash down on you if positioned there.
Tuck your heels under the opponent's butt rather than keeping your foot flat, as this is more effective and prevents them from escaping easily once you start the sweep.
The Standard Scissor Sweep opens the closed guard, places the top knee (shin) across the opponent's chest as a frame, grips the collar and sleeve, then chops the bottom leg across the opponent's far knee while pulling with the collar grip to roll them over. The shin frame prevents the opponent from driving forward while the chopping leg eliminates their base, and the upper body grips direct the sweep.
The standard scissor sweep is the quintessential introductory BJJ sweep, taught in virtually every BJJ academy as the first sweep new students learn. Its universal inclusion in beginner curricula reflects its effectiveness as both a technique and a teaching tool for sweep mechanics.

Оценка опасности 3/10. Moderate — sweeps reverse position from bottom; moderate impact on landing for top player
Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Control Grips → Off-Balance → Execute Sweep → Follow to Top.
Стандартные контрприёмы: Base and Posture — maintain wide base and upright posture to resist the sweep / Grip Strip — break controlling grips before the sweep can be loaded / Back Step — retreat the leg being attacked to remove the sweep fulcrum.
Распространённые варианты: Standard sweep (primary off-balancing and reversal technique from the guard); Combination sweep (chaining two sweep directions to catch the opponent's adj…); Counter sweep (sweeping as the opponent initiates a guard pass attempt); Competition sweep (optimised for point-scoring in tournament settings).
The scissor sweep is a standard technique in IBJJF competition.
Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Not pulling the opponent forward with the collar grip — the pull loads them onto the scissor / Placing the knee shield vertically instead of across the body — the shin should be horizontal across the stomach / Chopping too high on the thigh instead of at the knee — the knee is the leverage point / Not following to mount — the sweep naturally transitions to mount; don't stop short.
