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
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
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.
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!
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.
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!🙂
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 🙏🏻
@@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.
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
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
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.
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!
@@anticrombie23 I’ve been running the gym for 12 years man. It’s never been an issue. They don’t do it during rolling. The big danger is if they get it on the mat. Now I gotta kill em 😂
@@anticrombie23 yeah dude. It would be the equivalent of saying you shouldn’t go play basketball with him in your mouth. Ya know? Sparring is a totally different issue.
