This BJJ Half Guard Sweep is So Effortless You Might Giggle

Спорт

This Half Guard technique is by far one of my favorites. And honestly, I think it's an absolutely beautiful technique for understanding how the Hip Shovel works in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
The Hip Shovel is a movement which in involves getting your hips under someone else's. This is required to efficiently execute many Half Guard sweeps and transition to positions like X Guard, Deep Half Guard, etc.
In this video you'll see Steve as my partner. Steve joined us on the Pura Vida BJJ and Surfing retreat this past year.
During our week of training. He was interested in the sweep and learning how to use Half Guard for his Brazilian Jiujitsu game.
So I wanted to make this video with him to help.
The Giggler as we call it within our association, many people call this the "John Wayne" sweep, is so useful. We call it the Giggler because it works off a proper response from the person on top.
It just requires careful timing and being smart not to give away the grips early.
If you're trying to make your BJJ Half Guard better, I hope this Sweep is useful for you both as a stand alone technique but also understanding the technical aspects of the Half Guard position.
Thanks for watching!

    I actually watched this video the night before the 2018 Louisiana BJJ State Championships and used it during the tournament. This sweep gave me the points to come out on top in my division and walk away with the gold. An excellent technique that was easy to implement and took my opponent unaware. Thanks Professor!!

    The small yet crucial difference between just rolling as opposed to getting your hips under the person is HUGE! Such a great video! I tend to play a lot of X-guard and SLX, so I'm familiar with this idea of getting my hips under the person, but I never knew how you can actually apply it in half guard!

    I love this sweep now! I used to be terrible at half guard, so I started watching videos with this one showing up first. Rolling with another blue belt last night, he probably has 50lbs on me, and was doing a great job of using that weight to crush down on me. Worked to get my knee shield in and then pulled this off lefty despite only having drilled it righty. I literally walked through it step by step in my head as I did it and it worked like a charm. Nice easy sweep into a weak half guard I easily passed with a knee slide. I'm a believer!

    This is amazingly simplistic, I always find myself getting flattened by heavy guys in HG because I forget to react quick enough and frame, but this is such an awesome sweep that will always pay off if you can get that arm across the midline, which can be a pain in the ass. Would it work just as well if you got the overhook and grabbed their lapel to trap the arm? just in case you struggle to control the sleeve? thanks Chewy!

I feel like when I end up in half guard, I am putting both hands on the (outside) bicep so they can't use their (left) arm to try and move to side control. Or I am trying to get the underhook on my side with the knee shield. Sorry if that doesn't make sense.
