Professor Marco Barbosa shows an effective guillotine from top half guard. Check it out!

This set up is one of my favorite submissions when I’m passing the guard. Often when you are passing with a knee cut pass your opponent will try to defend and switch to deep half guard if they try to go for this once I have gotten the undertook grip on their arm already this usually leaves them open for a brutal shoulder lock. I have used this technique in competition and many times in the gym. Also recently Matheus Gabriel used this in the finals of worlds vs Marcio Andre although set up from Reverse De La Riva, this is my favorite variation set up from the Half Guard. If you guys like the content the best way you can help the channel is to refer videos to friends.

Very similar to the Rolling Kimura, the ‘Suicide Roll’ vs Half Guard lands us passed the Guard and in a submission! Proper pressure is very important not to get swept.

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?

Give it a try.

This knee cut pass sequence is really useful for shutting down an open guard before your opponent can establish a control. Often once you force this knee cut your opponent will try to switch to a single leg control or and half guard control. Learning to recenter your opponent with your knee is essential to pinning your opponent to allow for transitioning your grip for a strong pass control and pass finish.

Many moons ago, I did on a video on how to pass the lockdown, but I feel that there are few details that can be added to it that will make it easier to use.

Thus, this video, where I revisit the topic.

Enjoy.
