An Almost Effortless Sweep from Half Guard, with Rob Biernacki

Gary Berger — Mon, 23 May 2022 19:59:27 +0000

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!

How to NOT Get Flattened, Cross-faced and Smashed in Half Guard

Gary Berger — Wed, 11 May 2022 17:42:42 +0000

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…

7 BJJ Half Guard Sweep Drills & Techniques

Gary Berger — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 17:00:01 +0000

Today’s video is a Half Guard sweeps drilling video. This is some of the things I’m working on with my classes and I figured I’d share them with you as well.

In the video you’ll see 7 different Half Guard sweeps or techniques used. And the way we do it is after the sweep or technique is used the other person will regain their half guard and then the sequence restarts. This keeps the action moving and keeps it more engaging for both people.

If you’re a Half Guard player or trying to get better at the position, I hope the sweeping drills help.

Half Guard Mastery | Jiu Jitsu Brotherhood

Gary Berger — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 06:00:02 +0000

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.
