Jedi Mind Trick - Half Guard. Sweeps, back takes, Leg Drag, & Crab Ride.

Underhook Half Guard Part 2: Jedi Mind Trick

The Jedi Mind Trick meshes well with not only the Underhook Half Guard but also the top player using Knee Slice/Cut style passing. We essentially are left with an underhook with bare minimum control of our opponent's lower body.

We strongly recommend you view the previous Underhook Half Guard video. It will directly supplement this class.

Underhook Half Guard Part 1 - Coyote and Dog Fight:

   • Underhook Half Guard. Coyote & Dog Fi...  

1️⃣Part one begins with our Basics class where we focus on mitigating danger in the Half Guard, building a strong fundamental attacking position and using the "Knee Bump" to engage the Jedi Mind Trick.

2️⃣Part two begins the early stage of the Jedi Mind Trick. This is defined by the top player back stepping, or in this case, the bottom player forcing them to back step. This will often lead to an early stage half crab ride style back take with our top leg.

3️⃣Part three proceeds to our later stage attacks where we utilize our bottom leg as a hook. We will begin with a backward leg drag sweep when our partner shifts their weight behind us.

4️⃣Part four adds a forward leg drag sweep when our partner shifts their weight to the front of us.

5️⃣Part five examines when our opponent is evenly distributing their weight. This can make both leg drag sweeps difficult. However a full crab ride back take can be a good option as the top player is suspended.
