HOW TO use the DEEP HALF GUARD in BJJ

[@schitz-poppinov8657]

I love how you instruct them to drill it 25x that way people aren’t dicking around and going down rabbit holes after 3 reps haha

[@saintoflastresorts2272]

As the resident rabbit holer I tell the other rollers classwork now, homework later. The look on my coachs face while he mouthes thank you to himself the first time I said the was priceless lol.

I am a female blue belt trying to learn the deep half because I fight bigger stronger guys and i always get crushed from their weight, implementing this in my roll has been great

[@flowsenpai9961]

Play rubber gaurd. I'm a white belt and I've used it to tap bigger purple belts.

[@apurvamodessa597]

Underhook is king when playing bottom half, alot of ppl neglect and use frames too much and stay defensive. Dig the underhook and cause scrambles and chaos is what I like to do mwuhaha

I keep getting triangled from here some how. I'm assuming my shoulders are in the wrong spot like you talk about around half way through this video? Thanks for your videos, they're helping me so much

[@sandsand5483]

You can only get triangled if you lose the leg. Shuck that leg further down if need be. If you were getting triangled as you came on top, you need to either back up when you come on top or go into some kind of pass that neutralises the triangle. I usually go over under. Tho you probably solved this with your coach by now... just putting this comment here in case someone else is having the same issue and opens this thread

[@brandongamble8311]

After these drills I have been playing deep half and getting compliments on my defense. That said, the body lock pass is a big take away from this video. Another is where I place my hands, hip, and arm by the knee. Thanks BMac!

[@brandonmcninja]

What entries have you been using to deep half?

[@brandongamble8311]

Lockdown or recovering half guard from mount on a flexible or strong opponent. I usually end up coming out the back before doing the waiter-sweep. Because it throws them off balance so easily they are often falling before I could do anything else.

[@MrNicolas48]

Great drills! Thanks Bro

[@sltkd1]

once again, it is always well detailed and well explained. I didn't really understand the deep half guard, but with your explanations it's much clearer. Thanks Brandon!🙂

[@MrRUSSWILL]

OSSS! That micro detail of pinching the knee forcing them to sit or post out🤯 Love this thank you 👊🏾👊🏾

[@megad6679]

The most important part is not to turn the deep half into a deep throat

[@LangdonJohnson]

This is good stuff 10/10, I find your explanations very easy to understand.

[@nicocontreras5366]

I got this guy´s triangle course and really liked but now experimenting with Deep Half Guard, found this concepts very good. Thank´s for sharing.

[@Funkinj]

Been working deep half and loving all of these set ups 🙏

[@addy8857]

I've been having trouble with deep half with bigger guys (I'm a female). This video helped me find some flaws in my technique. Thank you!

[@TravisStevens96]

Man… this is perfect to tighten up my details that I’ve been missing.

[@orsonsalicetti1957]

[@decline1822]

Deep half is my favorite. Ive been finding ways to get to the legs or into X guard with it lately as my training partners are very used to it and its really hard to sweep the other black belts.

[@splintchesthair100]

Thank you for the details.

[@Dana-AlNajjar]

This is just what I needed thank you so much! Really appreciate all the content you've been putting out there keep killing it man! Would love some tips on how I can protect my free arm from getting underhooked/figure 4 gripped, I'm staying more on my side keeping the elbow tight just wondering if there is another detail to help, once again thank you so much. - Regards a purple belt student of the art 🙏🏻

[@kneeloeyesun]

I love the Sweep-Pass mentality... Needed this, all of this! Thank you!

[@overrideFunction]

I love deep half and this gave me some key details to tighten it up! Thanks!

[@hudsonvalleystrongdads3090]

The little details on the knee torque, same motion as flower sweep and original entry off of knee cut are clutch. Thanks 😊

Sweep and pass will be 6 points

[@MichaelJames707]

[@schenksteven1]

This is awesome! I am sitting in a snowstorm in Buffalo, waiting for the roads to open so I can go play with these details! I really like to play deep half against the bigger, more athletic, wrestler-types at the gym. However, against the better ones, even though I am usually able to shut off their top pressure passing game, it can be hard to make a sweep happen (especially in no-gi). PS I am still surprising people at the gym with the ham sandwich I learned on this channel!

[@briankayaker1]

My primary training partner has 60lbs on me. Thanks for this🙏🏼 wish me luck😅

[@burnerjohnson3242]

Why did you choose your primary training partner to be 60lbs heavier than you

[@briankayaker1]

@@burnerjohnson3242 not by choice, by marriage. It’s my brother in law. We roll together often. I’m vastly more skill than him but he’s super athletic and spent a lot of effort learning mount. It’s a brutal combination.

[@Thecelestial1]

Looking forward to this. We spent a whole month doing this and still didn’t really grasp what the position is or how to get into it.

Seeing your partner chew gum on the mat freaks me out a bit. Pardon the pun but that's a legit choking hazard. I've seen it happen.

You’ve seen someone choke on gum during the practice portion of class?
