Steele Half Gaurd Reversals




Half Guard Reversal #1:
If in the bottom position in the half guard use this escape. If left leg is trapped in your half guard, over wrap his left arm with yours and hook his chin with your left hand. Thrust your hips up in the opa fashion as you crank his chin in the direction you want to go in. You will end up in his half guard which you will need to pass before you go on.


Half Guard Reversal #2:
When at the bottom of the half-guard, if the opponent's left leg is in your guard and his right knee is up high, then use left elbow to escape your left leg. (Guard) If his Left leg is flat then you can plant a foot and bridge him over. Then assume the top of the half-guard (have your left leg at about a 90 degree angle, knee against him, weight over him like a cross mount, use your foot to walk your right knee up, then use your right elbow to free the leg and attain the mount). If under and his weight is not over you enough, you can ebee(bridge up, then push out right and away from him) while grabbing his right lat and putting your right leg hook around him to assume a rear mount.


Half Guard Reversal #3:
With your right leg under him is to wrap your left leg around his left leg and squeeze out your right foot from between them, keeping your right knee against him so it is harder to be mounted. Then push up at his left hip with your right foot and you can either bring your left leg out to put him in your guard, or if he goes up and over enough, take away his arm base and assume a mount.
