Wow, going to the truck/back when someone has a deep half-guard on you? That's awesome didn't know that was possible, thanks!

how would you get that with nogi?

I was thinking the same thing. I am going to play around with it tonight in class and see if it's possible.

I don't think wrapping an arm around their waist would work well. Maybe hooking their hip pocket? Or reaching down and grabbing their bottom arm?

how did you go? i guess if you sank your arm deep enough into the lower of the back and really throw your hips into the forward motion it would work on a smaller/less wise opponent.... i'lll definately be looking to try this

I think a deep hip grip might actually work. It only needs to stay tight for a moment during the transition. Hell, you could get away with gripping their shorts if you do it fast enough.

i suppose if you let go of the shorts grip before the hand reaches the top of his body then it shouldn't be seen....but again this would be incredibly hard against a strong heavy opponent...i'm just searching for ways of maybe baiting them to try posture up and do half the work for you... still haven't figured out how though

That's slick. I think all you would have to do is get a good grip on the hips to pull him up to execute the roll

I wonder how much of a battle there is getting your top leg free from their underhook? Would they let you go thinking that you are giving up the sweep?
