Half-guard can be a surprisingly polarizing position in BJJ. While some practitioners love it, others feel trapped and vulnerable and want to reach another position as quickly as possible (or just avoid half-guard altogether). If you know how to use this position, though, it can be a great tool to help you achieve your goals against your opponent.
In this video, Invisible Jiu-Jitsu‘s David Morcegao demonstrates the two “big” sweeps that are most popular (and effective) when you have half-guard. Take a look, and after you practice them, you might turn into your academy’s resident half-guard master!
