The Easiest Half-Guard Sweep In BJJ & Multiple Options

This is one of my favorite Half-Guard sweeps and it's the epitome of Jiu-Jitsu.
It's simple, anyone can do it, requires little effort, and it has been proven to work at the highest levels.
You probably know it as the John Wayne sweep, but I still call it the Car Jack sweep, that's how I learned back in the day.
I cover some crucial details in this video, how to set it up and bait your opponent, plus several options based on your opponent's reactions.
This is a MUST HAVE in your Half-Guard game!
Let me know if any questions,

[@a.chigurh8902]

the best breakdown of these sweeps I've watched so far. Thank you!

[@MrSleekit]

I love this sweep and use it all the time. Super effective.

[@MMALeech]

Highly effective, one of my favorites 💪

[@johnd6258]

I’m starting to really appreciate the half guard as an older beginner. This is really good information to take in.

[@tommym321]

Butterfly was always my go to but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve really come to rely more and more on half and deep half. Deep half is for those really aggressive passers.

[@steveeden1953]

Great detail....many thanks.

[@MMALeech]

Thank you Steve!

[@chrisgarlick5833]

Had to stop the vid before the move as I saw your T-Shirt... Nice! We are gonna get along.

THE KING!!!

[@MMALeech]

BIG MAC!!!

[@Anna939-p2n]

Спасибо за видео, было интересно узнать о деталях этого свипа, ведь до вашего видео я не мог выполнить на оппонентах, но моя ошибка была в том, что я забывал делать мост. Благодаря вам я исправил ошибку и этот свип легко получается даже с тяжелыми оппонентами. Но единственный вопрос можно ли сделать свип не ставя верхнюю ногу на маты. Когда верхняя нога удерживает его. Перевернув соперника с высокого щита колен

[@zazen69]

Nice training partner!

[@mauricinho1974]

Feels like that's the only half guard sweep you would ever need to know.

[@MMALeech]

When I sweep someone from half-guard, 80-90% of the time is because of this beauty.

[@theticoboy]

Does anyone know the name of an MMA fighter that has done this in a match? I remember watching a video of a fighter that did this a few times (I think non UFC). Thanks!

[@gymlaxbro]

I think it was renato laranja

[@jasondalebourke]

Mansour Barnaoui

[@theticoboy]

@@jasondalebourke you are pure awesome sauce

[@jg1000c]

I step on my ankle when I go for the sweep. I did notice by having the foot on the floor, you scooped under her hips. I'll have to try your way.

[@MMALeech]

Give it a try!

[@ericleach403]

If she back steps you can also cross grip and drag her arm across to take the back as well. (Which I'm sure you're aware of 🙂)

[@MMALeech]

That's a good option too Eric!

[@ericmittens]

Was this the sweep that Nogueira used all the time?

[@MMALeech]

Correct, he also used a similar version when in closed guard.

[@PTS.MT.Goalie.BJJ.Andrew]

So when are you going to show us some hoola hoop moves? Next video? lol

[@MMALeech]

Those are some secret moves that the BJJ community is not ready to fully understand yet lol

[@chokeabloke713]

This works 100%, 80% of the time. Against me, at least.

[@MMALeech]

True :)

[@tommym321]

My girlfriend gets cranky when I practice my jitz on her.

[@MMALeech]

I feel your pain :)
