Half Guard stuff

3-24 bjj blog

am class

techniques-

-half guard bearhug legs pass
-half guard bottom sweep- trap underhook arm and bridge over shoulder
-half guard bottom arm triangle (doesn’t seem useable unless they suck)

rolling-

-getting back to the super aggressive guard- gotta combo things together and not allow opponent to mount an offense. My speed and technique are my strengths- gotta use them to outdo stronger opponents.

-starting to roll out of turtle better. Gotta react quickly.

-getting the x-guard setup better- must push armpit away, push leg up and get opponent to stand.

-need to get that marcelo pass to half guard down. Another application- you catch opponent and trap one butterfly hook while underhooking other leg. Could flatten that trapped leg and sprawl on it while doing the over/under pass.

-getting much more aggressive on the feet. Going for the kouchi gari mainly. Gotta figure out how to follow up when opponent steps both legs back. Maybe seionage?
