DLR: 3 sweeps against opponent in combat base

Two of these sweeps are nearly identical, and one is very similar to option B here. I've been trying not to play DLR against an opponent in combat base (that's sort of a lie) but if they leave it open or drop down into it, their passing options are severely limited so you are free to try this out without too much fear of getting passed-they aren't going to be really able to drag your leg across your body or easily stuff pass, so they are effectively limiting themselves until they remove your hook and can work for double unders.

A. Sit-Up/Single leg style sweep
-This move works with a ton of different grips, especially if you catch them devoting too much energy to gripping your pants/jacket or sitting back on their heels, although you might have to tap an arm as you come into the "take-down." Usually I'll be trying to tomo-nage or set up the below sweeps and they will sit back to reduce my leverage when you really have to explode into this sweep.
1. Start with grips. Near sleeve and collar, double sleeve, ankle and far sleeve, far sleeve and cross grip and ankle
2. Release the hook and chop the leg down to help you sit up as you simultaneously kick their far knee hard to spread their base.
3. Scissor the far leg inwards to hook behind their near ankle behind your knee and continue this motion to suck their leg behind your. Depending on your grips, you may be able to just come up or you may have to release and post with your right/non-hook hand
4. Once their leg is straightened under you, drive forward into a take-down/sweep, generally tapping the far hip/leg with your right hand
5. Immediately begin to cut pass.

B. Threaded leg DLR Sweep towards front
1. You have double sleeve control, opponent sits to combat base
2. Drive the hook through his legs and hook against opponent's opposite hip, with your leg as straight as possible
3. Thread your free leg underneath your left leg and hook it behind the same side thigh, which is the rear leg/the leg your other foot is controlling.
4. Sweep opponent towards his front by pulling him to the right and extending your legs out
5. as you come up, extract your bottom leg first


C. Thread leg DLR sweep towards back
4. Opponent feels the sweep towards the front coming on so he sits back on his heels to kill your leverage
5. Slightly rock forward into opponent and then pull him back into you hard while contracting your legs, raising him up like a tomo-nage
6. Sweep opponent towards his back, coming into a cut pass by extracting the top leg first; keep sleeve control as you pass
