Lower Leg Shift Sweep from Half Guard
Use this when you have the underhook and a scoop grip on the far leg. It solves the problem of being stalled in half guard by creating a dilemma: if the opponent posts their right hand to prevent the sweep, you take the back; if they don't post, you sweep them. The mechanism is walking a tighter circle underneath them so they cannot base out effectively.
