Hip escape sweep

Hip escape sweep is a descriptive name for the pendulum sweep — naming the hip-escape motion that powers the leg swing.

Etymology. “Hip escape” names the shrimping movement of the hips that generates the swing; “sweep” names the reversal. The label foregrounds the hip mechanic that the “pendulum” image describes from the legs’ view.

Mechanics. The sweep is driven by hip mobility: the hip escape angles the bottom player and loads the pendulum swing, so the legs can carry the opponent over. The power comes from the hips creating the angle and momentum, not from pulling the opponent with the arms.

Cross-reference. “Flower sweep” is a sibling alias. Full mechanical coverage on Pendulum Sweep.
