The Carni vs Deep Half Guard [VIDEO]

[Chris Herzog]

Correct. He will give different responses to my movements if his positioning is different, which means I should give different responses as well.

If this is my only counter against the deep half guard, I'm gonna be in trouble more often than not.

I agree, for this specific attack your response is beautiful. However my comments were mostly for clarity sake, some of the rookies may not recognize the different variations as well as you do.

Ps Russian Cowboy is there as well

I play alot of deep half and when i come out the back door I throw a underhook because I knee cut pass, I usto hang on the leg alot more but I just fly straight to side control. That's the reason "I" throw the underhook, Brandon feels me the underhook way before i throw it just on how sweeping too

Guys please don't be hard on Berto, English is his 3rd language.

Thanks Coach for understanding, alabama education doesn't help much...

Blame it on Alabama, but tell the man in which state you actually spent your most formative years

That will also help to explain much of his behavior, as well.

The great part is that I try to tone down the accent for these videos. It's actually much, much worse/better in person.

[Brandon Mccaghren]

very slick move. I love submissions off of transitions like that where your opponent thinks they are getting what they want then they fall right into the trap. And very good instruction man. you a smooth operator.

You're my hero and I think I love you.

Not sure if I mentioned that before, but there it is.

[Brandon Mccaghren]

Awesome. Nice simple breakdown of some possibilities from deep half too. I have had that problem with the opponent's posture being stronger than my Carni before, definitely want to try that sweep/sub.

The sweep is where it's at. You'll love it. Learn on someone with flexible shoulders, though. It's way tighter than you can imagine. The detail about keeping your knee tight is crucial.

Thanks for watching, Alex. Let me know if you have any successes or failures with the position.

Bmac, although I would love it if you'd let your country boy accent out a little more in these videos, the instruction is top notch
