Now Victor Hugo, Double Gold Pan Am Champ, shows one of his favorite sweeps from the lasso guard. Starting with a cross collar and sleeve grip, Victor throw his lasso hook in place, while his other foot controls the biceps. His opponent will usually react by stepping back to base himself, so Victor releases his lasso hook and moves his foot in the biceps to the knee. Next he pushes the knee away as he swings his free leg like a pendulum to sit up to S position and grab the single leg. To finish the sweep, he pushes his weight down on the collar and drives into the single leg. Sometimes he will also be able to attack the back from this position.

Professor Frank shows his favorite lasso guard sweep variation. With both sleeve grips and one foot on his opponent's hip, Frank throws his other leg over the arm for the lasso, but first pushes the shoulder away with his foot, creating the space for him to sink in his lasso. Next he moves his foot on the hip so his shin is across his opponent's body. The common reaction by his opponent is to come forward at him, so Frank pivots underneath him, underhooking the leg and loading him up on his shins so he can easily sweep him to the side.
