These are two great counters to the scissors sweep from Roy Dean, a BJJ Black Belt who teaches up in Bend, Oregon.  Roy has a varied background in traditional martial arts with black belts in Judo and Aikido as well as bjj.  This gives him a  broader perspective which is very rare in bjj circles, but I find his views to be a nice balance of old and new.

In the video, the first counter I remember feeling during the seminar and thinking how cool it was as he did it (I had never seen it before).  I am glad he posted this video or I would have forgotten forever.  The second technique  also sparked a memory since he hit it against me when we were rolling about 6 months ago.  I remember being suprised to find him on my side when I thought for sure I was going to hit the sweep.  Both great moves.

If you like Roy's stuff, check out his YouTube channel, or better yet, buy his videos.
