The Tiger Tail Sweep

The tiger tail sweep is my favorite sweep.  The tiger tail sweep is when you spin, drop to the ground and sweep the legs out from under your opponent using your back leg. The way I set it up is I make sure that I have my left leg forward. I wait for the opponent to throw a high kick with their right leg. As they are about to kick me in the head I drop and spin below their kicking leg. I use the back of my right leg to sweep their supporting leg out. they fall down. I don't use this sweep for anything other than this. I've found it is ridiculously hard to try to use this sweep on things like people punching, unless they have no skill what so ever but in that case you can do what ever you want any way. One major key to being able to use this sweep effectively is to make sure your foot stays on the ground as you spin. If you don't you will likely hit them mid-calf and it will hurt but the sweep will be ineffective. The Achilles tendon on your leg should hit the Achilles tendon on your opponent. In the event that your sweep fails, be sure to have a good follow up technique. If my sweep fails I am usually able to follow it up with a round house kick to the opponents' groin or a leg scissor to the leg. If your sweep does fail you are in a fairly vulnerable position so just make sure the follow up you have planned is going to work. That is about all I have to say about it. If you know the technique try it the way I've suggested and see how it works for you. :)
