I’ve been receiving a few questions regarding Half Guard and I wanted to point out a few details.

This way you can fix up any issues you may have before the end of the year.

But first, a quick word from our sponsor:

Tired by 2pm? Here’s why!

If you’re battling low energy, fatigue, or that dreaded mid-afternoon slump, the culprit might not be your sleep schedule or your fitness routine. According to world-renowned Dr. Steven Gundry, the real energy zapper could be hiding in your diet — and it’s not junk food. It’s certain fruits!

In this exclusive video, Dr. Gundry exposes 3 fruits silently draining your energy and keeping you from feeling your best. Plus, he reveals 1 powerhouse “superfruit” you should eat every single day to recharge your body, sharpen your mind, and even shed extra pounds. Watch now to transform your energy and reclaim your day!

Now on to today’s topics…

A good Half Guard starts here.

Do not allow yourself to get flatten.

If your shoulders are both on the mat, you’re in trouble. That’s exactly what the top player wants of you.

That’s why we do an initial hip escape (2:46).

Even if you have no idea what you want to do in Half Guard, you need to get to one side.

When you do this, most of the time the top player will drive back into you and that’s your cue to attempt the John Wayne sweep.

Now you have options for different reactions at this point.

  1. Underhook → basic half guard sweep or to the back (4:01)

  2. If no Underhook → Knee Shield → re-guard (6:15)

  3. If no Knee Shield → Half Butterfly (8:31)

Don’t worry about any thing else right now.

If you can get this short, simple system down, you can then add on anything else you may like.

The whole point of these videos is to help you develop your own small system that you can gradually build off of.

Before 2025 is here.

There’s only 17 days left before 2025 is here.

So whatever rehabbing (or prehabbing) you want to start, it’s a perfect time to start planning.

Especially if you know you’ll be missing some mat time in the next few weeks.

Use this time to get your body in shape and ready for the new year.

Purple belt in 3 years

You’ll always hear “don’t focus on belts, just keep training.”

Which is absolutely true.

But when I ran a poll last week, it seems like everyone wanted to hear about how I got my purple in 3 years of training.

If you have any questions about it, feel free to write in any time. You can respond to any email and it’ll get to me!

I always respond.

Have a great week,
