Getting smashed in half guard when your opponent has the cross face and underhook sucks! Here are 3 of my favorite responses to this situation, including 1) the Kamikaze Sweep, 2) the Butterfly Lift, and 3) the Twist Sweep.
Each of these techniques has an aggressive option ending in a sweep where you get to the top, and a less aggressive option where you use the threat of the sweep to re-establish a good guard position. You can also chain these threats together making it extremely difficult for your opponent to hold you down.

Understanding the multitude of method for gripping in the underhook half guard is one of the lesser appreciated paths towards developing a strong offense from the position.

Professor Marco Barbosa shows an effective guillotine from top half guard. Check it out!
Half Guard is one of my favorite Brazilian Jiujitsu positions to play from on the bottom. I love the ability to get sweeps even against bigger stronger opponents. But one of the most frustrating problems with Half Guard (at least early on) is getting flattened out on your back when someone is passing.
When you’re flat on your back you Half Guard is useless and is more of an offensive position for the BJJ practitioner on top.
In this video I’ll show some basic grip fighting options that will prevent your Half Guard from being wrecked in BJJ. Along with the grips I’ll also show you how to go with the power to escape a strong squeeze on top when you’re flat in Half Guard.
If you’re struggling with Half Guard in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu because you get stuck flat on your back then I hope this video is useful to you!
Thanks for watching the video!

This set up is one of my favorite submissions when I’m passing the guard. Often when you are passing with a knee cut pass your opponent will try to defend and switch to deep half guard if they try to go for this once I have gotten the undertook grip on their arm already this usually leaves them open for a brutal shoulder lock. I have used this technique in competition and many times in the gym. Also recently Matheus Gabriel used this in the finals of worlds vs Marcio Andre although set up from Reverse De La Riva, this is my favorite variation set up from the Half Guard.

Very similar to the Rolling Kimura, the ‘Suicide Roll’ vs Half Guard lands us passed the Guard and in a submission! Proper pressure is very important not to get swept.

Oh boy, this breaks a few rules when it comes to playing bottom half guard, but that head position makes a difference.
Don’t believe me?
Give it a try.

This knee cut pass sequence is really useful for shutting down an open guard before your opponent can establish a control. Often once you force this knee cut your opponent will try to switch to a single leg control or and half guard control. Learning to recenter your opponent with your knee is essential to pinning your opponent to allow for transitioning your grip for a strong pass control and pass finish.

Today’s questions is a unique situation where our Blue Belt friend Marc is able to effectively hit the Triangle Choke on most people he rolls with inside his gym. His worry with this is that because he is always using the Triangle Choke submission his BJJ game is going to become 1 dimensional. So in this video I talk about sharpening up is Triangle attack while keeping his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques diverse.
When I was a Purple Belt I went through a specialization phase with my Half Guard. I began learning how to sweep almost anyone I rolled with and it’s still one of my best Guard positions in Brazilian Jiujitsu. What was important about this were the lessons I learned to develop a razor sharp game that I could then take and implement for every other technique and position in my BJJ training.
In this video I talk about how Marc can diversify his attack and create more options that will help him specialize similar to how I did as a Purple Belt.
If you’re in a situation like this or even if you aren’t I believe it’s a sound idea to take into your BJJ training.
Thanks for watching!
