The main sweep to know from half guard (Lachlan Giles)

[@FranciscoRamirez-pk3yn]

This is my goto half guard sweep, and you showed many details I didn’t know or applied incorrectly. Thanks!

[@malachizarathustra7301]

Going in under my own leg was a key missing piece. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

[@nicocontreras5366]

It´s my favorite sweep and besides taking the back with the other hook I didn´t know the head details so thanks for sharing.

[@sealclubber1383]

If I end up on the bottom, I play half guard. Then I love wrestling up from there using this technique. And there are so many gems in this video to help you make it work opposed to thinking this move is trash and doesn’t work.

[@cheddymachete]

I like this move sometimes i have trouble with it, but ive mostly been having trouble with learning to love again

[@callsignzuluindiafour7676]

thanks for this, was having trouble shooting my arm through for the reasons you explained and this will help for sure.

[@FR-ty5vn]

Beautifully Explained ❤ - been working on this position

[@bingavtoski]

Excellent explanation, I bought your Half guard video and it was very good. Thank you for the extra info, coach.

[@matthewthehawk1066]

Thanks Lachlan awesome

[@OAbbas]

clear details professor 🤙

[@randallsteiger4860]

Grateful for the knowledge

[@rhylsttoncarlospereiraduar4206]

Many thanks, mate.

I feel like no one stays on their knees anymore and immediately goes to stand up.

[@matthewcrawford4216]

Thanks Craig Jones!

[@slipperywhenwat]

Then attack the far leg with either your arms or even your free leg and make ‘em fall harder. You do that once and they’ll want to stay on the ground where it’s safe.

[@phat111]

Perfect then you go to your X guards

[@1234kingconan]

At some gyms they ONLY pass from their knees and nobody stands up.

[@BJJandBS]

@@1234kingconan they will get swept pretty easily then

[@CM-rm3xj]

THANK YOU!

[@cameron.on.canvas]

Where can I buy this grey and black gi?

[@kettlecup]

You said you were going to show the roll under counter

[@R3tribut1on]

Yoooo Lachie the timing of this is oddly specific

[@jonevans870]

I'm 4.5 years in to BJJ, been taught this by multiple teachers and just can't make it work. Maybe my timing is off but as soon as I try to come up, the opponent just smashes me back down. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Now focusing on going to deep half instead.

[@jonevans870]

@@JamesBrown- thanks so much, I will keep all this in mind and try again. Like you say, speed and deception goes along way in BJJ. Can I ask: which part is the ‘knee twerk’?

[@badem]

Try deep half guard, meaning as you are shooting for underhook try to grab behind his left knee with your right arm. This eliminates the smash and the cross body

[@jerryrudd4592]

what do you call this sweep? also Thankyou for the content btw

[@donaldlyons180]

🔥🔥🔥

[@2008israelramos]

Lachlan has the equivalent to a Ph.D. in jiujitsu.

[@nickelgym5239]

so thats if your opponent stays perfectly on their knees long enough for you to swim through an underhook. most of us getting smashed lol

[@virtualtransientvagrant]

Step 1: don't get smashed

[@danieldelanoche2015]

That's why the high knee shield is so important. If there's no knee shield, or if it's low, it's just so much easier to get smushed. It's also important to play with the position with a helpful training partner who can offer degrees of resistance while you experiment with the position.

[@nickelgym5239]

ok well yea assuming yu have a high knee shield

[@woo9194]

This needs to be muscle memory and has to happen in process very quickly.
