Knee Lever: John Wayne Sweep Engineering
A laser-focused instructional series dedicated to perfecting the Knee Lever John Wayne Sweep — a high-percentage, pivot-based sweep that blends leverage, timing, and hip angling for outstanding effect.

 Course Overview

In this specialized program, Adam Wardziński—Poland’s standout competitive grappler and coach—reveals the mechanics behind one of the most underrated yet powerful sweeps in the modern jiu-jitsu arsenal. The “John Wayne Sweep” (a name inspired by its cowboy-like flair) becomes a methodically engineered tool built upon pivot-driven control, precise knee lever pressure, and broken-balance entry strategies that work from half-guard or knee shield setups.

 What You’ll Learn

• Entry Mechanics & Positioning
  How to secure the initial knee lever grip from half guard, knee shield, or closed guard; details like outside-foot positioning, hip angle, and knee elevation to break posture; pivot and tilt setup to off-balance opponents without exposing limbs.
• John Wayne Sweep Execution
  The rhythmic knee-bridge, hip-tilt, and penny-roll motion breakdown; maintaining tight control during the tipping phase to prevent guard re-formation; transition into top position or knee-on-chest finish after the sweep.
• Advanced Control & Chain Options
  Pressure variations to prevent frame recovery and re-instantiation of guard; options to follow up with shoulder pin, collar tie, or straight arm control; common resistance scenarios and how to pivot into triangles, kimuras, or back-takes.
• Drill-Based Training & Practical Application
  Four-part system drills to ingrain grip, angle, timing, and finish cohesively; partner flow sequences to test adjustments under pressure; “Live” implementation tips from Adam’s competitive experience and coaching insight.

 Who Should Train With It

Grapplers wanting a reliable, leverage-based sweep from half guard; anyone aiming to refine posture-sensitive entries under guard pressure; students seeking a compact yet effective system for drills and rolling; competitors and hobbyists who appreciate depth over fluff in positional mechanics.
