About this video
Approach half guard as a single leg from the back, applying wrestling techniques to enhance control and finishing ability. When facing difficulty with the whizzer or completing the move:
- Drop the arm that's being whizzered to cup the opponent's leg, blocking their leg from moving forward or retracting.
- Open your knee outwards, reach back to find the opponent's ankle, and shelf it over your hip to lock their hip angle towards you.
- Many opponents may concede their guard at this point, but continue to work the position.
- Secure the opponent's ankle, then proceed to shelf their knee by switching your blocking leg to the same side and reaching across with your other hand to block their knee.
- Drive your weight towards the ankle you're controlling and connect to your pass.
- Utilize the reverse leg drag or knee mount position to advance towards a mount, completing the sequence.
