  • If you're playing half guard and your opponent gets chest to chest on you, especially if he also gets a crossface and an underhook, then you're in a LOT of trouble. He's going to put a TON of pressure on you and make your life absolutely miserable. In this section from the BJJ for Old F***s instructional (www.grappleart...) Rob Biernacki shows you exactly how you can use a series of upper body frames including your hands, your elbows, your wrists, and even your torso itself to keep his weight off of you.
    Framing like this gives you the space you need to move into an underhook and work towards his back, or bring your legs back into play to achieve a knee shield guard or some variation of an open guard.

    Just started playing half-guard and not getting flattened is so tough against strong guys so this will help immensely 🙏

      Good luck with your half guard journey! It's a very powerful position. Just remember that the defenses in this video are temporary: you're going to use them to get the breathing room you need to hunt for that underhook and/or get your legs back into play so that you can go back on the offense!

    hg is my main bottom game. i started with knee shield at blue, then i started adding a half spider on the shield side in purple. it gives another layer of cross face defense

    My 9 year old grandson is routinely paired up with kids literally twice his size and years older because of his gift for jiu jitsu. Sometimes after getting rag-dolled by these MUCH larger students he gets smashed in half guard. I wish I could show him this video (F-bombs) to help him not get so smashed.

    Do you think half guard or butterfly guard is a better guard to focus on for older grapplers?

    I just started trying to play open guard, and against guys bigger than me I get smushed a lot. I don't ever leave my arms out, but I don't defend well against passes , especially if they collapse my legs and go around back.

    Excellent tutorial! Have been experimentig with half guad with people who are considerably heavier 100-150lbs at least over me. Any modifications you suggest. The weight distrubution and size are differet I find. Need to do bigger hip escapes to move out and the pressure fromthe weight requires solid positioning. Shout out to Rob! Cant weit to get back to Island Top Team!
