Now she lets go of the pants grip to hug the leg, at the same time she brings her knee in to make the X-guard. Next she brings the foot in the biceps behind the knee, and when she is ready to sweep, she slides her hook down behind the heel and forces her opponent to fall backwards.

In order to get her grips back, first she grabs the collar with her free hand, and switches it to make a cross lapel grip with her other hand. Then she goes back to gripping the pants, and finally regains the sleeve grip, resetting back to her original grips.

Luiza attempts her favorite variation of the tripod sweep, as shown in the previous position, but now her opponent steps back to defend the sweep, so Luiza uses the traditional tripod sweep instead. She first places her bottom foot on the hip, and brings the foot that was on the hip down to hook behind the foot instead. Now she pushes with her foot on the hip, and pulls with her other foot and both her grips to finish the sweep.

After pulling guard, Luiza's favorite option is to go for a sweep similar to the tradition tripod sweep. With the pants and sleeve grip, Luiza escapes her hips and places her foot across her opponent's hips. Her foot on the same side she is gripping the pants drops down behind her opponent's other foot, and she simultaneously kicks her heel against her opponent's heel while pushing with her other foot and pulling with both grips, allowing her to come to the top for the sweep.
