The electric sweep pass comes from a failed attempt at the electric chair. The technique starts in half guard with the lock down. After bumping your opponent up, coming to the side and grabbing their leg for the electric chair. With a very flexible opponent, or someone who knows what is coming, the submission might fail. Instead of trying to muscle the submission, use your bottom elbow to bring you up and grab your opponent’s head for the head and arm. Because you are controlling their leg, they can’t recover half guard. From here, you simply unlock their leg and pass their guard, keeping your knee high by their head and releasing the leg you are holding to begin working your game.
