eddie and 10th planet co, deep half?

[changeordie]

do u guys use the jeff glover style deep half? thoughts and experiences?
it seems loose the way he does it, at least i feel tighter going 'lockdown, electric chair,deep half if electric chair fails while keeping my lockdown, then when im ready dothe out the back door deep half back take

dunno if i worded that well, personally i prefer electric chair, calf crank, all else fails electric chair sweep
but im giving the deep half lots of work, trying it out and so far so good

Yes deep half is being incorporated into the system, the Homer Simpson sweeps are huge.

Yeah Jeff Glovers deep half is amazing (though i don't use it yet) But i have rolled with guys that use it all day....

I do! I want to say that the school he came from (Paragon) popularized that style of half guard. It's a great position with a ton of options. It's a great seg way into other guards and positions.

Deep Half is amazing for just about any transition you can think of...you can sweep, take the back, enter into 50/50 guard, X-Guard, sit up guard to De La Riva, etc. It's all about how creative you want to be and what kind of openings and indicators are present when you're there.

And even though lockdown might be great for keeping things tight, if you're good at playing loose, your going to control your opponent just the same. Plus there's like a million lockdown counters that open a guy up for looser guard sweeps so you better learn everything because everything has a counter.

Yes sir the deep half is $$$. "The Pipe Layer" is a great teacher as well! After training with him once, he showed me "half" of his game set-ups etc... One of my more favorable trips As far as the "looseness" his style is more about moving "you" to/around them. So keeping the leg secured vs locked down allows you to move vs moving them. Going out the backdoor they sit their hips, then simply rotating yourself into them gives you the sweep! vice versa etc... Hope that helps

I didn't even really want to delve into the deep half but once I became aware of the position it just kept popping up during live rolling. So now I have to learn to either capitalize on it or just get arm barred.

Keep the outside arm tucked close to your ribs. Any movement you make with that arm should be close to your body. The further your arm veer's away from the more susceptible it is to attack.

Thanks, I'm aware of that now. Having to learn that lesson the hard way though was the cautionary note in my post. Some positions will occur whether or not you are ready for them, so it's best to be ready. Deep half is one of those positions.

Just watch Jeff Glover sweep Leo Viera with it if you have any doubts. I touch on deep half in my new book Advanced Rubber Guard due out in Feb but I also direct readers to Glover's material if you want to get super deep with it
