Leite half guard variations

1. underhook with lapel. opponent overhooks. grab opponent's pants at knee (palm up). switch leg positioning and force quarter guard. bridge hips into knee to prevent mount and secure the position/torque knee. get to elbow and then both knees. base off leg and drive into them, pull leg out from underneath them. pass many ways. back, side, dope mount, etc. *drive in short bursts to disrupt base. **stay TIGHT to them- no space.

2. they drive into you and prevent you from sweeping- dive underneath, pull lapel down, extend arm, bridge hips and take them over. keep knees tight.

**if they ever abandon the overhook to base, go to the back.

3. they try to switch hips and go reverse half guard. once you feel it, switch to the butterfly hook and underhook on the same side. sweep them over. can also set up from static reverse half, but it is much more difficult than catching the transition.

-----

other stuff-

*starting- grip something with the hands- do not play on back unless you have grips. you can start on back and wait for them to touch you and then get grips off that, but it is risky.

**sit up guard- drag shoulder to the mat and sweep once you have the arm trapped.

***playing off the back- develop spider guard.
