Sweeps From The Half Guard: Half and Twist

December 8th, 2011 | Posted by CrossMMAFitter in The Half Guard

If you manage to base out on your right knee and your opponent counters by balancing and pushing his weight down on you. the Half and Twist is the ideal sweep.

  1. Establish the lock down and the double under hooks
  2. Post on your right arm to get to your knees while keeping your under-hook nice and deep around your opponent’s body
  3. Once you base our on your knees and establish a tight body lock, try to tackle your opponent to the mat
  4. As your opponent tries to balance himself and pushes his weight back into you, sneak your right foot to the outside of your opponent’s right knee.
