This video will be the beginning of an ongoing series of a Half Guard and Butterfly Guard series I plan to do. I wanted to go over some aspects of the Half Guard and Butterfly because many of you have asked me questions about it and you wanted to know more about my actual game.
So this is a break from the traditional Q&A videos and it's me showing some cool Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques that will hopefully help you guys with your BJJ Half Guard and Butterfly Guard.
For me, this position works great for people who are a little stocky (like me) or if you're in a situation against a bigger stronger person during a BJJ roll or competition match where you can't lock the full guard around the body.
In this video I show two basic movements / drills to start with.
1. Half Guard Pummeling to get the underhook (which we will need for the style of Half Guard I prefer.
2. The second drill is a basic entry into the lower style half guard with the outside leg hooked. This will be the starting point for some future sweeps.
If you have any Half Guard or Butterfly Guard related questions. Please leave them below in the comments and I'll throw them into the mix.
Also, with this video series. I'm trying to piece it together in a streamline form so that it will be helpful over the next few weeks. There is so much Brazilian Jiujitsu related information and it's easy to get lost.
Hopefully by preparing these videos in a step by step format. You'll be able to learn it more effectively and put it to use.
Thanks!

Thanks for looking after us short, strong, stocky guys Chewie! Hate it when a smaller, lean slender guy gets on top, now I can sweep them and properly smash them again:) Awesome series, love the community and material.

@davidmills5286 3 года назад

5'10, 210lbs stocky for sure. white belt trying to discover some workable techniques.. lately ive been way more comfortable working from half guard and deep half, than working with a closed guard. thanks for these drills! ill try them out tomorrow!

I'm totally loving your halfguard series. I get stuck in traditional half guard quite frequently, and use Eddie Bravo's lockdown, but I tend to just get flattened. This will really help me a lot, so thank you so much! Now I just need to find someone to drill with. . .

@KrisWaring1991 7 лет назад

I'm a 5,7 short guy and half guard is my A game looking to start transitioning to butterfly so really looking forward to this series! Thanks in advance bro

@fatandhandsome 7 лет назад

Definitely emailed about this, so stoked to see this series. Thanks for doing this man, really. I'm a stocky giant guy and can't wait to see more of these.

@jsainz 7 лет назад

Thanks for doing this series Chewy, really looking forward to it. I have been working on my half and deep half a lot lately, and even last night was in deep half under a big guy and couldn't get the sweep and had to come up and turn it into a single leg.

@francescasmothers720 7 лет назад

I'm super excited about this series, I always find myself in half guard, I'm the smallest/weakest person in our dojo (not a strong stocky person) ... I'll definitely be thankful for any tips 😁

@marceldouwstra5847 7 лет назад

Cheers for this one Chewie, really helpful! Thanx from a fellow stocky guy.

I don't know what it is, I just realize you teach way better than my gym head coach.

@armandobponce 7 лет назад

Datsusara hemp shorts... niiiiice!

@SeanDamnit 7 лет назад

I'm looking forward to this series - half guard is a position I find myself in a lot...I'm not sure if that's because I like it, or because my full guard sucks and people pass it, lol. Is there any reason why your first instinct isn't to go for the kimura when you are able to block and control his cross face arm? I may be getting ahead of myself and that option would be discussed later in the series...for me at least if I have control of someone's wrist like that with my knee shield in, then I feel that the kimura is a very effective option - especially if they've posted their arm to the mat.

@Chewjitsu 7 лет назад

Hey Sean. You might already know this. But I LOVE the kimura. It's by far my favorite submission. I've never had a ton of success with finishing it from this particular position. It's possible to make it work, don't get me wrong. Just not my cup of tea. I use my half and butterfly guard primarily as a vehicle to sweep with, and a few submissions are sprinkled inside the system.

@statmandemps1154 7 лет назад

Great drill

@KennisTheMenace84 7 лет назад

hey chew awesome stuff. Do you have a video for escaping side control I have issues getting out of side control. I use my strength up but I have problems using it at the right time.

@tamegomait 7 лет назад

great drill osssssss

@Mephistoau 7 лет назад

Yo Chewy! Do you ever find that when jamming that bottom leg through that they use that as they replace their leg to go for like a knee through guard pass? Thanks for the videos brother, love it. Wish I was out your way to do some training, your crew looks awesome :)

@Chewjitsu 7 лет назад

If I get the outside hook on the leg with an underhook, it makes the cut through more difficult. Thanks for the comment! Maybe we will cross paths someday.

@TheJokesterSCR 5 лет назад

I used a technique against multiple inexperienced friends because almost all of them would instinctively try to stand up while in my guard. I would immediately underhook one of their knees while having them secured in my guard and then pull it out from under them and they ALL fell down and I was able to gain full mount easily from there. Since BJJ is mostly about real life scenarios, I'm curious about your opinion on this. Thoughts?

@ryanbaker5931 7 лет назад

great video but where can I buy that sweet rash guard?

@ohmynoche Год назад

6:26 gotta love the spank

@benh580 7 лет назад

love half guard. New white belt here. I got two guys into the electric chair last night. what do you think about the lockdown? thanks for the vids.

@jasons9087 7 лет назад

know when to let the lock down go. higher belts will blow your knees out trying to undo it. most white belts will not know what to do with it. its great control. I use it to help get under also called the scorpion tail or just scorpion.

@Chewjitsu 7 лет назад

Lockdown is fine I guess. I don't prefer it. Mainly because it limits my ability to pivot side to side because I'm locked onto the persons leg. And secondly I've seen people get their knees jacked up doing it. Both bottom and top.

@benh580 7 лет назад

good points guys. I don't want to blow out my knees. maybe I'll stop trying it.

@dustinhansford8270 7 лет назад

Completely off topic, but what do you think about the datsusara shorts? Have their bags and love them, just not sure about the other stuff.

@Chewjitsu 7 лет назад

These shorts were given to me. I like them. They're heavy duty. Definitely a quality piece of gear.

@dustinhansford8270 7 лет назад

Chewjitsu thanks a bunch, hemp great can be got or miss so any extra info is good too have. Would love too get a pair of these and a full gi to from a highly renewabke material.

@mywifesboyfriendisfire 7 лет назад

Chewy, you're the man! Looking forward to this series!

@chamboyette853 7 лет назад

Does this work with the Gi as well? I was wondering because maybe it's more difficult since people can hold onto the gi.

@Chewjitsu 7 лет назад

Yeah not much changes. In the series I will explicitly tell you if a move is gi specific. Most of my techniques are not.

@chamboyette853 7 лет назад

OK thanks. But what does change? Or is it simply that nothing changes?

@shawnmclean59 7 лет назад

Hey, I just started BJJ and I have different instructors depending on the class I go to. One told me that I should pick a move and learn it well. Always try to do it when rolling. Get good at that and then move on to specializing in another. The other instructor told me not to do that, but just come to class and basically get a general knowledge of everything. What are your thoughts on this? I know I should develop a broad range of knowledge, but is it worth picking a move,sweep, submission, or whatever and trying to really get good at it?

@orangeInc311 7 лет назад

Shawn McLean I'd say if you have just started learn the positions and what you want from them ie undertook in half, crossface in side then specialise in moves you like best. get a broad Knowledge for a bit otherwise you won't know what to specialise in.

@diabolic42090 7 лет назад

I'm 5'6 -- when I spar a 6'5 guy and get that underhook from bottom of half guard, he d'arces me. Is this a matter of me being incorrectly positioned? Or should I be moving faster?

@statmandemps1154 7 лет назад

Try getting the undertook lower
