Today’s video is about passing a really good Half-Guard players Guard in Jiu-Jitsu.

I got asked a question from a BJJ Practitioner who says his buddy has a really good half guard and is able to secure an underhook extremely easy when training, which can be extremely frustrating.

He wants to know what I would do to stop this and how I would approach passing half guard.

In this video I will show you guys a really good pass that will help you deal with the half guard and put you into mount, ready to go for the submission.

Hopefully you found the ideas in this video helpful for you if you’re struggling to pass half guard.

Got a question about how to play Reverse Half Guard (top), so today’s video will show you how and why I use the position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

These ideas are fairly basic and fundamental BJJ. So, if you’re a white belt, no worries, this should be pretty easy to understand. That said, I’ve used these techniques against some super tough Black Belts in competition and training.

When showing the Reverse Half Guard position I’ll show the arm in & arm out variations since they’re similar but slightly different.

Also on a side note, this is a position that high school & college wrestlers coming into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu seem to adept to very quickly. So, if you wrestled, maybe this is good position for you to try.

I hope a couple of these ideas are useful ones that you can chew on!

I originally learned about this leg weave counter possibility many years ago from one of the Cyborg’s DVD sets, and since then it has served me well. There are few details that make it work better though, and you just might learn a few in this video.

Here are 2 great options to deal with the top Half Guard Switch Base (when your opponent is facing your legs). You can either sweep him or take his back, depending on how he distributes his body weight.
Getting your butterfly hook is gonna be crucial to execute both techniques, the back take and the half guard sweep.

This instructional is the result of several months of hard work and many many hours of teaching this material in seminars throughout the world. Half-Guard has been my position since the very early days of my Jiujitsu career and when it came to trying to record and map out everything I knew I wanted to make sure I did it right and did the material justice, and I’d like to think I’ve managed to do just that. The aim of this instructional is to give the viewer a complete half-guard game with answers to almost every situation they could find themselves in. I am exceptionally proud of the final product and hope that you enjoy watching it and using the material contained inside as much as I enjoyed the experience of making it!

You can get your copy of Half Guard Mastery here: https://bit.ly/35u3Zy9

Features:

Defensive Structure: A thorough examination of various methods of controlling distance and relieving pressure in bottom Half-Guard, giving you time and space to work on your attacks.

Underhook Half-Guard: The bread and butter of my half guard game for years. All my tips and tricks for pummelling for underhooks, and then all the details required to stick to someone like glue and gain top position, even making you able to sweep opponents with much superior wrestling.

Half-Octopus Guard: Over time, people become used to the typical attacks from the half-guard. Half-Octopus Guard is a relatively uncommon position which can easily catch even very experienced opponents by surprise, giving you access to the mount or the back in only a couple of simple movements.

Overhook Attacks: Whilst Half-guard is traditionally more of a sweeping guard, I like to use it as a route to setup triangles and omoplata attacks that are normally attempted from the closed or open guards instead, turning your opponent’s underhook against them.

The Dogbar: A devastating leglock that is available both from top and bottom Half-Guard, and even if unsuccessful can be used for positional advancement, either in passing the guard or sweeping a panicking opponent.

Escapes to Half-Guard: Routes to Half-Guard from almost every position in jiujitsu. This means that you can go from a completely dominated position back to your safety zone and immediately turn the tables and seize control of the roll.

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!
-Chewy

Oh boy, this breaks a few rules when it comes to playing bottom half guard, but that head position makes a difference.

Don’t believe me?

Knee Shield Half-Guard Basics: https://youtu.be/q_ND-09HiWg

This is a must-know transition, especially if you do No-Gi.

Since you don’t have the luxury of collar and sleeve controls in No-Gi, your Spider Guard, De La Riva, and Lasso Guard are not that effective… instead, Half-Guard and Butterfly Guard are usually the go to guards in No-Gi.

Transitioning between those two guards is a must.

Watch the video above to learn how it’s done, and also how to execute one of the most fundamental sweeps in Jiu Jitsu, the Butterfly Hook Sweep.

-Gustavo Gasperin

If you’re a Half Guard focused BJJ player or ever get into the Dogfight position then you know how troublesome a well placed overhook can be.

In this video we’re going to get into this position and look at a couple of options.

Today’s BJJ video request from Gui who is playing Half Guard in his gym but is getting mauled by the overhook / whizzer when he attempts to come up for the sweep.

In the video I give 2 different options that can be used to counter the Overhook.

The 1st is simple limp arm / lazy arm. I probably use this technique the most. It’s just such a strong attack to throw into the mix. And I’ve used it over and over again.

Both in BJJ training in the gym and competitions.

The 2nd option is a roll under sweep using the “regrip.”

If you’ve watch any of my Half Guard technique videos you’ll see me showing the re grip sweep over and over again.

And it’s a great counter to Wrestlers and those types who try to use overhooks to counter sweeps and movements.

This is because they are literally giving you the grip you need to make the sweep effective.

So if you’re struggling from the Dogfight position or getting smashed in this position with the overhook. I hope the techniques are helpful.
