Half Guard Help !

[callum weaver]

hi guys was wondering if u could help us, keep getting half guard and guys keep pulling the twister position. from this position i have been getting the arm triangle waiting position that was seen on mastering the system alot, like pretty much every time i roll. however there seems to be no space to shrimp and sweep, or shrimp and take the back because of the guys hip downward pressure i think this is because my legs are gripping one side of his body and my arms are gripping the otherside leaving me in an awkward diagonal position.

any tips from this position would be appreciated

switch to a deep half guard to the waiter sweep

to do that i would need the opposite leg to be around my head and shoulder area like so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lOCVC5qC1U

whereas i would need something from this position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inp5ni-H8pQ

You could either finish the choke extending the legs to practically get your opponent in like a superman position or whip up again from there using your legs and transitioning to the deep half. It needs some manipulation but it works. You have to really get under your opponents body though. Play around with it. I usually tap people with the choke though like in the video
