The Basic Mechanics of the Shaolin Sweep
One of the easiest ways to start working on this sweep is from scissor half guard, a position that can operate as a gateway and hub for lots of different types of guard.

Start by trying to sweep your partner backward by cross-gripping the sleeve and gripping the pants with your free hand, an attack that is relatively easily defended when your partner simply drives their weight forward. This is exactly the reaction you're looking for.

Keep your shin (the top of the "scissors" you've created), but allow your leg to retract, creating a "loaded spring" type of scenario.

Meanwhile, use a "bicep curl" to elevate your partner's knee off the ground, and position your sleeve hand so that you can pull your partner off balance.
It is imperative that their sleeve hand isn't able to post on the ground, so make a circle with your grip so that their hand tucks harmlessly under their body, preventing any sort of base on that corner.

Now, just look to your left (away from the sleeve grip), and roll over your shoulder as your partner falls.
