A closed guard sweep using sleeve control and a leg pendulum motion.
The flower sweep (pendulum sweep variation) uses a sleeve grip and a pant grip while swinging your leg high and driving the other into their posted knee. The key is loading them onto you first by pulling them forward, then using the pendulum motion of your legs to generate the sweeping force. It's reliable, high-percentage, and puts you directly into mount. The flower sweep rewards good grip fighting and hip movement from closed guard.
