Or you could try pounding the person in the face a few times until they were falling backward, then sweep. Welcome to Kenpo.

I love doing the sweep where I catch or trap their foot at my side when they kick, then sweep the other leg inward, following them down with a downward punch. I originally learned to sweep in Muay Thai and this is one of my favorite moves.

I usually catch them when they are attacking and just as they start to plant, sweep and counter at the same time.

I never just execute a sweep. I always execute a counter strike to get them off balance, then sweep. Using them almost simultaneously is even more effective.

We never sweep - sometimes I feel like I am missing out on a worthwhile skill. In sparring we are only alowed to kick above the belt.

We practice ashi bari and mawashegeri to the knee against a pad but thats as far as we go.
