Thanks for the video! Can't wait to try implement this
Great explanation ! Subcribed
Great video! Thank you!
I had a deep think about the C clamp I can see you using on the knee because I was curious about the use of the hand on that knee because I found myself cringing a little thinking about potential to do damage to the thumb if they violently push forward with it. A key detail is that the thumb is on the outside, meaning if they do violently shove their knee towards you, then the arm bends in a way to "allow" it to go over without damaging the hand. If the fingers are on the outside, there is a potential to wristlock and or really damage the wrist/hand/fingers.
Your example is gold, I think it would be worth emphasising that detail to help avoid mat injury.
Thanks for your comment, I was actually thinking I wouldn't want to expose my thumb against such a big limb also
good video. I'm just wondering why there was not one single mention of the underhook. I feel like the underhook is key to a good halfguard. You only kind of mentioned maybe bringing the arm inside, but that was it.
HI Nick, Thanks for the comment hope you enjoyed the video. The underhook is important to establish the sweep for coming out the back. We'll be looking at updating a few of our half guard videos in the near future with a few new variations on the sweep plus looking at the cross grip if the underhook isn't available.
Cool. I did like the details on managing the distance the knee sheild is crucial when it comes to managing distance and creating space. I'm a purple belt belt myself and have been training for about 5 years or so. Half guard is my game. I myself like the Lucas leite dog fight variation which I suppose places more emphasis on the underhook. I look forward to seeing more of your videos! Thanks!
awesome
