Nowadays you often see the Deep Half Guard at the highest levels of BJJ and submission grappling competition. But there are a lot of important details to the Deep Half Guard that you need to know before it becomes a powerful sweeping weapon.
Because I saw this position working again and again, several years ago I decided to add it to my repertoire. It’s a bit like regular half guard except you insert yourself right under your opponent’s center of gravity, which opens him up to some very powerful sweeps.
It wasn’t easy at first: it took a lot of experimentation and research, but eventually I had a series of ‘aha’ moments and it became one of my bread and butter sweeping positions!
Here’s a video clip of the specific revelation that made the biggest difference in my game, and converted the Deep Half Guard into an aggressive sweeping position for me
P.S. This video is from the ‘Advanced Techniques and Tactics’ instructionals that are only available as a bonus for people who’ve ordered my ‘Black Belt Grappling Concepts Course’.
