Scissor Sweep with Knee-Jam Setup
Use this when the opponent anticipates your scissor sweep and braces against it. The knee-jam forces them to react by pushing down, which compromises their base and creates the opening for the sweep. The deception works because they commit weight forward to clear the knee, making the scissor sweep unstoppable.
