How To Stop Getting Smashed in Half Guard Bottom

Half Guard is one of my favorite Brazilian Jiujitsu positions to play from on the bottom. I love the ability to get sweeps even against bigger stronger opponents. But one of the most frustrating problems with Half Guard (at least early on) is getting flattened out on your back when someone is passing.

When you’re flat on your back you Half Guard is useless and is more of an offensive position for the BJJ practitioner on top.

In this video I’ll show some basic grip fighting options that will prevent your Half Guard from being wrecked in BJJ. Along with the grips I’ll also show you how to go with the power to escape a strong squeeze on top when you’re flat in Half Guard.

If you’re struggling with Half Guard in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu because you get stuck flat on your back then I hope this video is useful to you!

Thanks for watching the video!
