Half Guard

Lately I've been practicing passing half guard.

I realized that the majority of the fight takes place in half guard, so focusing on this position is greatly improving my game.

I've been using attacks to set up the pass- kimuras, americanas, guillotines, and various others to distract my opponent and move into either mount or side mount. By opening the possibility of ending the fight at any moment, my opponent has to worry about defending both the pass and the submission, hopefully closing the door on many sweeps and escapes.
