After the warm ups, Doug Esposito talks to his team about the philosophy of systems. He emphasizes that it is not about 1 or 2 moves. It is about using a system of techniques to control your opponents. Doug Esposito demonstrates this philosophy by showing how two half guard sweeps are used together.

After discussing systems, Doug Esposito teaches two deep half guard sweeps. Between each move that is demonstrated, the students meticulously drill the techniques. The students pay close attention to the little details that can make the sweeps a success if done correctly from the right position.
