need some feedback

ok I've been practicing sweep kicks for a while and I was wondering if this is to completely knock the opponent off his feet or is it to knock him off balance. O and how fast should the sweep be?

It can be either.

It's much harder to sweep them off their feet though!

Works better if you can get to their side and hit the back of their knee/calf/ankle hard! ;)

To knock them off balance is a different tacktic, still usefull!

One I like is to hook their leg and pull, maybe while stepping back. Widening their stance, putting them very off balance or even knocking them down.

well heres my version of yours:
once you hook their leg don't pull but instead punch em a few times and then push em.
would this be good?
