For that person that has impecccable Kimura defense, it can be tempting to abandon the Kimura and look for something else. But don’t you dare! The Kimura roll is a great option that will have you roll out of his half guard into a very strong submission threat.
Depending on the opponent’s reaction to the roll, you might get a triangle, an arm bar, a back take, or a same side Kimura. It’s a very versatile attack. We even saw this used recently in the UFC by Davi Ramos, who scored a submission of this by taking the back.

When your opponent stifles your Kimura attacks by keeping his arm tight to his body, then we can simply divert his attention by passing his guard while pinning his wrist. In MMA, this position is a triple threat: submission, guard pass, and striking. Plus, the longer you hold this position, the more drained your opponent will be as they carry your weight the entire time.
The key to being successful here is to switch to different threats everytime they defend, keeping them constantly guessing where you are going next, and frustrating them as they play pure defense while you get to pour on the pressure.

If your opponent is making the standard Kimura difficult for you, the power move is to step over. From the Half guard, the step over Kimura is brutal, and is essentially a check mate position.

I use the reverse seat belt quite often, as it is an easy scramble to get into if you know how to stay behind your opponent’s arms. From half guard, it comes up regularly as people try to sit out and attack the kimura. So you just have to go over their back at the same time they are trying to turn away from you.
Then, you reach for that far hip, and you can work a hip bump if they stay on their side, or a back take if they come to their fours.

Someone with a good squeeze pass can ruin your day. Besides getting passed, you can get your neck and chin torqued into oblivion with the right opponent. I have had my share of excellent squeeze passers, which is how I developed my escape. It starts by first getting my opponent’s hips down my body, so that I can get their shoulder line away from my face and onto my chest.
You accomplish this by utilizing the lock down and an assist with your arms to yank down that shoulder. Once you got that, you can then pummel inside on the cross face arm. That will allow you to get your frames back together, and then you can fight for under hooks.

The Under Hook Escape is a must know stand up for any martial artist. For MMA, half guard can be a strong top position to work from, which makes escaping important. Using the power of the under hook, you can work your way up to your feet and often times come up with a better position or a well timed exit strike.
One of the key things to keep yourself out of danger is to make sure that you can keep your head safe by either staying under his chin or on his temple.

One of my favorite positions to finish a guillotine from is the half guard. A lot of people mistakenly believe that you can’t finish a guillotine from half guard. That is only half true. π
If you have the head on the side of your body where you leg is trapped, then you are in the money. Not only do you have a strong finish because of your hip angle, but you also have easy sweeps here too.

If you’ve played Half Guard long enough then I’m sure you’ve experienced the situation where you get smashed by the person on top squeezing you. It happens to all of us.
Well, in today’s BJJ technique video I’m going to show you how to escape a tight half guard position and get unstuck by using the Lockdown position (most commonly known from 10th Planet) to get the person off balance.
I’m also sharing this position in part because I know a lot of beginners in BJJ (White and Blue Belts) find themselves in this position naturally and don’t know how to use it.
Hopefully the off-balancing technique is useful to you and helps you be more effective from Half Guard with your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
Thanks for watching the video.
-Chewy

Guillotines are usually attacked after giving up top position or allowing yourself to go back to get the finish. However, attacking guillotines from top gives you much more control, and let’s you trap them. We go over a few ways of using the guillotine trap from side control and top half guard.

Arm Inside Guillotines are a great attack that are hard to escape, but sometimes they can be difficult to finish on a smart defender. So what do you do when you have a full guard and a guillotine that is not in?
Sweep, redirect, and submit!
The beauty of a head inside guillotine is that itβs also a front headlock. So you have a strong wrestling position, that means you can control this person. We go over how to hit an elevator sweep, kick over sweep to anaconda, or switch to a strong half guard to get a better angle or hip bump sweep.
