This week at El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we focused on attacks, sweeps, and passes from the half-guard. This position can be very common in Jiu-Jitsu, and understanding the position could instantaneously improve your game even with just a basic set of skills.
It is important to know that when you are in the half-guard both people have the exact same position with the legs. The only difference is that one person is on top and the other is on their back. With this in mind, it should help you understand that winning this position depends on how you use your upper body with your lower body to find a successful attack.
Attacks to Pass & Submissions:
Passing:
- Under hook trapped side, head on the other. tripod high to escape knee cap. Knee slide out and away.
Use other foot to kick out if necessary.
- Turn to expose the back. Escape knee cap, place on mat. Twist body and use other foot to kick out.- - -- Hook behind the head and jump to the other side. Make sure you have a post. Hip-escape to expose
knee cap. Use other foot to kick out if necessary.
Submissions:
- Lapel choke:
- Think box choke: Expose the back, hip escape toward head to open up the body. Wrap arm around the
head trapping the arm.
Sweeps & Getting the back:
- Trap their over hook take them to that side.
- Get a deep under hook to trap far foot, go into them/get bottom knee out.
- If their hand is posted on the mat: follow the under hook side all the way to the back, seatbelt grip, one hook in.
