Typically, the only possibility from half guard is to try to get again to both open or closed guard. At all times preserve that possibility in thoughts, in the event that they go away sufficient house which you can free your leg. Saying that, if you will get a sweep, that is even higher, as a result of it places you on high.
For instance, in the event you’re in butterfly half guard, while you go for the sweep it’s possible you’ll discover they handle to publish to forestall you sending them over in that route (or their base is admittedly stable). Ought to that occur, you possibly can as an alternative roll beneath them. Hearth your arm, shoulder after which head between their legs, rolling them excessive.
