Half-Guard Progress

I drilled the scissor sweep to back roll combo last night, and my instructor thought it was pretty funny bacause the guy i was trying to do it on, was about 120lbs heavier than me.

I managed to get the scissor portion working a couple of times, but just couldn't get his weight on top of me to do the back roll, i did have another try with a smaller white belt, but he wouldn't defend the scissor properly but was opening him self up to all other kinds of sweeps.

Also my instructor added a detail to the scissor sweep that i was doing, when you do a bit of a crunch and put your elbow over their arm, you should pull the arm abit with your cross grip so you are stretching his arm out a bit... it seemed to make it a little easier... your thoughts?
