When you do the Twist Sweep from half guard correctly it seems so effortless that people watching think it’s fake. But it works repeatedly in high level jiu-jitsu AND in MMA. From https://www.grapplearts.com/oldguard

Note that that the Twist Sweep is also known as the John Wayne Sweep and/or the Giggler Sweep. No matter what you call it, it’s VERY effective, and even if it fails it still opens up a route to the back for you!

The post Knee Shield Half Guard Sweeps Using the Action-Reaction Principle appeared first on jitseasy.

Years ago, I learned a loop choke counter to the over under pass from a video that Bernardo Faria did with Jason Eames.

It’s something that I immediately added to my game. I caught countless people with it, and I’ve taught it as well. But lately I’ve been exploring alternative setups, and this is the result.

To see the video that I learned the original choke from, go here:

The post Adding Some Bite to the Underhook Half Guard with the Kneebar appeared first on jitseasy.

This particular setup is something that I learned from Greg Souders during a mat chat, and it has led to many quick and lethal loop choke finishes.

The post Another Setup for the Loop Choke from Half Guard appeared first on jitseasy.

One of the things I enjoy the most is finding ways to punish opponents for their logical responses to threats. In those moments when they think they’ve successfully defending an attack, there are opportunities, and these two are ones that I use when they base out to stop the far leg kneetap in underhook half guard.

The post Two Random Lessons From My Half Guard Trickery Course appeared first on jitseasy.

Smashing The Half-Guard Online Course: https://www.mmaleech.com/smashingthehalfguard/

Do you find it hard to pass the Knee Shield Half-Guard? How about Deep Half-Guard and Lockdown?

The Half-Guard game has evolved so much in the last decade or so that it has quickly become one of the strongest positions from the bottom.

Guys like Lucas Leite and Bernardo Faria have won multiple WORLD titles playing a half-guard based game.

Even in MMA the half-guard position is highly successful, look at Demian Maia for example…

What makes the half-guard so effective is its ENDLESS possibilities.

It’s a very dynamic guard. You can sweep, submit, take the back, transition to closed guard, transition to its many variations like z-guard, knee shield, lockdown, deep half, half-butterfly, reverse de la riva, and so on…

So the question is… how do you STOP the half-guard?

As you can imagine, there is no silver bullet.

Proper body positioning should kill about 60-70% of the whole Half-Guard game. But you still gotta have answers for everything they throw at you. You gotta know how to pass its many variations in case they get in there.

So I called my longtime friend Leonardo “Cascao” Saggioro (2017 IBJJF Worlds silver medalist) to help me build my new online course, called Smashing The Half-Guard.

Cascao is regarded as one of the best featherweight competitors of his generation, and is widely known for his SMASHING pass style.

This new course should be ready on or before Thanksgiving, and as always, you guys will get a nice discount ?

Cascao will be teaching the Gi based techniques that made him one of the best in the world, and I’m going to unveil my No-Gi system that helped me win the No-Gi Masters Worlds 3 times.

I will be narrating his technique series, since he speaks little english… hope you guys don’t mind… straight from the jungle stuff ?
