Deep half guard tidbits

-opponent smashing face from half guard top- you need to alleviate pressure with free hand on shoulder, use hips and hand to hike them up (swing left and right) and bury your head deep in half guard.

-deep half entry- need to immediately tuck arm inside to avoid kimura

-deep half mechanics- need to constantly be using hips to off-balance them

-deep half to x-guard- from deep half with hand grasping hip near head, other arm underhooking leg (kimura defense). come up like a butterfly sweep, but switch to x-guard on opposite side. clean transition.

-deep half if they jump your head- bad position, but possible to do a butterfly guard type sweep and get up/create a scramble

-guillotine defense- rock them towards cross shoulder, and they will need to break guillotine to maintain base.
