We recently did a video on getting the Omoplata from full guard – check it out here:

In this video, I discuss getting the Omoplata from half guard. The great part of this move is that it is unexpected. And we use this element to our advantage. But don’t forget to use the shoulder sandwich. Very important. Check out the video. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how it goes…

“What makes a blue belt? Attendance, mental toughness, discipline, solid fundamentals, self-improvement and rolling ability of course, however, I only measure this in terms of how much YOU have progressed from day 1, not who you can tap out. As a coach, I actually don’t give much of a hoot about that, to be honest” -Tom Davey

It is not uncommon to have completed the sweep discussed in the previous video a couple of times – to suddenly have your rolling partner counter/push against it. No problem. Use that energy to your advantage and sweep the other direction. Straight into a footlock (or alternative a relatively easy pass). It’s not hard, it just takes a little practice. Try it out on the mat and let me know how it goes.

When I get caught in a half guard – no problem. I just change shape. And that usually solves much of the problem and enables me to get out and back in control. Not so with this awesome RCJ Blackbelt! Watch this little trick. Easy to do and very effective.

These 3 rules of thumb for the loop choke have significantly made my attack better. If you understand them, not only will it give you better success with finishing the choke, but you’ll also start to see more opportunities for setting it up.

And also included are two setups for hitting the loop choke in kneeshield half guard. It’s ridiculous how often they work for me.

You know what though?

This rabbit hole goes even deeper.

This week I show you how to enter the Ashi Garami position from the half guard, from here you can attack either an ankle lock, toe hold or a heel hook.

Highlight Clip – Bernardo Faria Commenting On His Sparring Sessions For His New Half-Guard DVD “The Battle Tested Half-Guard”

This a small adjustment in the grip that I noticed while watching the Magid Hage vs Clark Gracie match. It has made an instant improvement in my baseball bat choke in half guard. I’ve been hitting it left and right ever since.

The key with baseball bat chokes though is that they are cross chokes. The grips are just reversed initially to conceal the threat, and then a correction is made by rotating the body.

And that’s not all.

One crucial rule of thumb is that you will significantly increase the leverage if you can get your head under theirs. In a half guard, shooting the head under their chin as you close your elbow just makes the finish vicious.

And small adjustments like that make a difference.
