Description
A roll-under sweep executed from False Half Guard, named for the "Zenga Sweep" popularized by Michael Zenga (BJJ black belt, BJJ Fanatics co-founder) — a deep-half-guard-family sweep using a Turkish-get-up-style motion: working up to the elbow while keeping a grip on the opponent's far-side fabric/frame, then redirecting the opponent's own base adjustment backward to put them flat on their back rather than muscling the sweep. Craig Jones' version adapts this roll-under mechanic as an attack out of False Half Guard, referenced online as "Craig Jones False Half Guard Roll-under Sweep." Note: the Michael Zenga original is well corroborated; the direct link to this no-gi variant is inferred from the shared name plus limited social-media references, not explicitly confirmed by a primary source — flag for review if precision matters.
