The Half Guard - Advanced Techniques
1 videos • 44 views • by Gracie NEPA Similar to the guard, the half guard is applied when an opponent has made their way past one of your legs forcing the jiu-jitsu fighter to lock their legs around one of the opponent's legs in order to maintain control. The jiu-jitsu fighter still has a vast array of submissions and reversals to top from this position but must contend with a greater danger of strikes from the opponent. With regards to the jiu-jitsu fighter being on top the objective is still to pass to a superior position.
