Knee Shield Half-Guard Basics: https://youtu.be/q_ND-09HiWg

This is a must-know transition, especially if you do No-Gi.

Since you don’t have the luxury of collar and sleeve controls in No-Gi, your Spider Guard, De La Riva, and Lasso Guard are not that effective… instead, Half-Guard and Butterfly Guard are usually the go to guards in No-Gi.

Transitioning between those two guards is a must.

Watch the video above to learn how it’s done, and also how to execute one of the most fundamental sweeps in Jiu Jitsu, the Butterfly Hook Sweep.

-Gustavo Gasperin

If you’re a Half Guard focused BJJ player or ever get into the Dogfight position then you know how troublesome a well placed overhook can be.

In this video we’re going to get into this position and look at a couple of options.

Today’s BJJ video request from Gui who is playing Half Guard in his gym but is getting mauled by the overhook / whizzer when he attempts to come up for the sweep.

In the video I give 2 different options that can be used to counter the Overhook.

The 1st is simple limp arm / lazy arm. I probably use this technique the most. It’s just such a strong attack to throw into the mix. And I’ve used it over and over again.

Both in BJJ training in the gym and competitions.

The 2nd option is a roll under sweep using the “regrip.”

If you’ve watch any of my Half Guard technique videos you’ll see me showing the re grip sweep over and over again.

And it’s a great counter to Wrestlers and those types who try to use overhooks to counter sweeps and movements.

This is because they are literally giving you the grip you need to make the sweep effective.

So if you’re struggling from the Dogfight position or getting smashed in this position with the overhook. I hope the techniques are helpful.

The Half Guard in BJJ is by far one of my favorite positions in Gi or No Gi. There’s so many options, grips and adjustments to mix it up with.

In this video I show a really STRONG grip to use in the Gi.

I put an emphasis on strong because it really locks the person down and creates crazy pressure from the bottom of Half Guard.

I’ve found from years of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu that once someone knows that I’m a Half Guard player.

They tend to try and get away from me.

This Back Strap grip doesn’t allow them to do that.

I’ve used this grip in rolling and competitions with plenty of success.

The gi loops around their back and puts an immense amount of pressure which completely locks the person up. If they try to push back or get away.

It’s usually not an option.

In the video I show one simple option that allows you to get to Back Mount and create a strong angle.

But there are so many sweeps and options you can add into your Brazilian Jiujitsu game with the grip.

So if you’re a BJJ Half Guard player and you’re looking for another option to throw in to your game.

Try the Back Strap grip.

Hope the technique helps!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

This Half Guard technique is by far one of my favorites. And honestly, I think it’s an absolutely beautiful technique for understanding how the Hip Shovel works in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

The Hip Shovel is a movement which in involves getting your hips under someone else’s. This is required to efficiently execute many Half Guard sweeps and transition to positions like X Guard, Deep Half Guard, etc.

In this video you’ll see Steve as my partner. Steve joined us on the Pura Vida BJJ and Surfing retreat this past year.

During our week of training. He was interested in the sweep and learning how to use Half Guard for his Brazilian Jiujitsu game.

So I wanted to make this video with him to help.

The Giggler as we call it within our association, many people call this the “John Wayne” sweep, is so useful. We call it the Giggler because it works off a proper response from the person on top.

It just requires careful timing and being smart not to give away the grips early.

If you’re trying to make your BJJ Half Guard better, I hope this Sweep is useful for you both as a stand alone technique but also understanding the technical aspects of the Half Guard position.

Thanks for watching!

This is another BJJ Half Guard sweep that I use against the overhook. We are using the Regrip again against the overhook to protect against the Darce choke and to secure the arm for the sweep.

In a previous video I showed a Half Guard sweep against a person (possibly a Wrestler) doing an Overhook. You can see that sweep here: https://youtu.be/AFnUUPjSCNs

When I’m able to get this low Half Guard position with the outside hook in Brazilian Jiujitsu. The Overhook is one of the most commonly used counters.

In some cases I can get under the person with my hips and sweep them.

However, people with strong bases will position themselves in a way where it makes that sort of sweep from Half Guard very difficult.

This is when I might switch off to this particular sweep.

When I use the Sit Out to Double Leg from the Half Guard, as I show in this video. It’s a counter move, or you might consider it a bait move. Meaning I’m countering something my opponent is doing.

These moves can be tricky at first and might require a little trial and error.

But when you use a good counter move in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu they are incredibly effective. They often make your opponent move right into the place you want them. Just think to your own training when someone baited you into something.

I like this move as it blends my Wrestling with my Brazilian Jiujitsu game. And I think it’s effective because it causes you to change gears. You’re going from Guard player on their back to coming up to a Double Leg style takedown.

I hope this technique is useful for you with your Half Guard in BJJ.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

The Toe Tuck Sweep / Position is one of the 1st Half Guard sweeps I started using successfully from this low Half Guard position I’ve shown in this series.

I say Half Guard Sweep / Position because I have numerous attacks from the Toe Tuck. So even if these sweep options stop. I have lots of other techniques I can use for my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

In this video I also share why I use this style of Half Guard for Brazilian Jiujitsu.

One reason is that I’m able to fight against the Knee Cut Pass which is a fantastic option when faced against a Half Guard position.

Another tip is that when I come up for these sweeps. I make sure to come up on my elbows in a particular way that makes this sweep effective for my Brazilian Jiujitsu game.

So if you’re trying to develop a better BJJ Half Guard game. I hope this latest BJJ sweep addition of one of my favorites is helpful to you!

Thanks!
-Chewy
