•foot-sweep foot-work: starting with a timing exercise, where the partner hops in place and you check their ankle with the sole of your foot. Do this without looking down, then try do this without looking at all. Get a feel for the input/feedback through jacket-grips. This helps avoid telegraphing your attack, and getting a rapid-reflex that you won't get with looking and thinking.
•upper-body snap: turn your body&hands as if you are dumping a bucket of water. The foot starts a circle that the hands complete, so that your foot slides forward for the sweep and your hands pull-back against that directional swipe.
•in motion: stepping side to side together, simultaneously, use your trailing foot to sweep under your partner's trailing foot and sweep out both feet together. If your partner looks like he just slipped off his skateboard, it's the right timing.
• also: same side to side movement but back-step with the trailing foot and then sweep it around and attack your partner's feet with a sweep as before. It is a tricky variant, but effective for breaking your opponent's posture
•in motion again: now, instead of sweeping from behind, use an inner-thigh block at the hip and turn-out from the direction of movement. You can also plant the foot and steer your opponent over the blocking leg. Think of shoving them over a fence that's about hip height.
After that I got really tired and didn't have anything left for more so you goobers were on your own there....phew!
