Brief Model:
- You’ve got been squashed flat, they’ve a crossface and underhook
- Block their non trapped knee together with your arm
- Drive off your outdoors leg (stepping it out from the kickstand if wanted)
- Punch up by their head together with your trapped leg aspect arm
- Bridge and roll to the highest
Full Model: I first noticed this sequence on an DVD sequence from a couple of years in the past, by Vince Quitigua. In Misplaced Methods of the Half Guard, he has a easy resolution to if you’ve been put in what would usually be seen because the worst place below half guard. They haven’t solely managed to get a strong cross face, they’ve additionally underhooked you on the opposite aspect. Nevertheless, utilizing the identical precept because the lure and roll from below mount, which means there is a chance to dam off two of their limbs on the identical aspect.
As they’ve already put their arm below your head, should you can block their leg on that aspect and bridge, you may roll them over. Subsequently all it’s good to do is use your arm to cease their leg from stepping out. If their leg is simply too far-off, flip your hips in the direction of your underhook aspect to convey it in, then place your arm subsequent to it. Push off your different foot and swing your arm up round their head on the aspect they’ve underhooked. Bridge and roll them over from there.
The foremost flaw with this selection is that if they create their arm out from crossfacing you, then they are going to have the ability to use that to forestall your roll. A way for stopping that defence is to make use of your individual arm to lock their crossfacing arm by your head, such as you would in the event that they have been crossfacing your from mount. As your arm is now occupied, you are going to use your identical aspect leg to hook their leg as an alternative, then push off together with your different leg to finish the roll. Once more, if their leg is simply too far-off out of your physique, flip your hips to the underhook aspect.
Bear in mind that there’s a threat should you uncross your legs to generate the leverage for the push, so watch out of them liberating their leg. Additionally, with a savvy associate they are able to keep away from your try and bridge and roll by shortly adjusting their weight distribution and placing up a leg. Be prepared for that chance to get better to full guard, as they are going to discover it difficult to do this with out leaving some sort of opening so that you can convey your leg by.

Educating Notes: I used to be uncrossing my kickstand with a view to get the push, although in case your legs are lengthy sufficient, then you possibly can nonetheless get sufficient leverage with out doing that. By uncrossing your legs, there’s a threat they are going to handle to move at that time, so if it is doable to get the roll whereas maintaining the kickstand locked, a lot the higher. One thing to aim earlier than subsequent time. Additionally, does it matter should you seize the trouser leg as an alternative of merely block? Much less versatile I assume as you’ve got dedicated to a grip, however nonetheless works.
I additionally ought to make extra of some extent concerning the probability to get better full guard, in case they react earlier than you are capable of full the sweep. On the second, I discover that you just usually are capable of step by to aspect management as a result of place of your legs, but when you find yourself inside their guard as an alternative, nonetheless higher than being caught on the underside. However once more, one thing to take a look at when getting ready to show this subsequent time.
Turning in the direction of your trapped leg to convey their leg nearer to your physique is de facto helpful too, hold emphasising that.
