How do you sweep?

It's all about timing and and reaction. You have to get the persons foot while in is un-weighted to unbalance them. Ex. when a person is stepping foward to punch parry the punch with your hand and at the same time sweep the foot aside then they are open to a counter. You have to make contact with the foot before the persons full weight lands on the foot or they will not be unbalanced. There are many ways to sweep but the general idea is to sweep the guy while he is in transition from unweighted to weighted.

 

That depends on the type of sweep you are performing. What you stated is good for sweeps like ko uchi gari and de ashi barai, but in the case of o soto gari, I actually want your weight in your foot.
