If you’re playing half guard and your opponent gets chest to chest on you, especially if he also gets a crossface and an underhook, then you’re in a LOT of trouble. He’s going to put a TON of pressure on you and make your life absolutely miserable. In this section from the BJJ for Old F***s instructional (https://www.grapplearts.com/oldguard) Rob Biernacki shows you exactly how you can use a series of upper body frames including your hands, your elbows, your wrists, and even your torso itself to keep his weight off of you.

Framing like this gives you the space you need to move into an underhook and work towards his back, or bring your legs back into play to achieve a knee shield guard or some variation of an open guard.

If you found this useful then here are a couple more videos on Youtube that might be of some use as well…

One of the worst things that can happen after you hit the perfect knee bar is that you get cross faced and smashed within seconds.

Not only do you lose your hard earned submission, but now you are in a really bad spot. Well fear no more, this video I have my friend Bendy teaching a simple way of preventing the cross face.

Bendy is a BJJ Black belt and MMA fighter with a specialty in knee bars. He is to knee bars as I am to Kimura.

So watch this video and learn this simple counter to keep you in the hunt for the knee bar!
