Add to Favorites Remove From Favorites 2105 3975 days ago
Rico explains how to control the distance and attack your opponent from the z guard or half guard knee shield position with the rollover sweep or omoplata. Afterwards he explains that he switches between the knee shield, spider guard, butterfly guard, and classic open depending on the distance as well as whether his opponent is standing or on their knees. If your opponent is on both knees, a half spider or butterfly guard may make more sense while a classic open, spider guard, or de la riva guard will work more effectively against a standing opponent.

In this video we follow Gordo's story on how he discovered the half guard and learn that he began using the half guard due to a serious injury to his right knee. He used the half guard to protect his injured leg and was the first to begin exploring options to fight from the half guard rather than trying to recover full guard.
