CURRICULUM, WEEK OF March 2nd

This week in class, we will be focusing on half guard, a crucial position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that plays a pivotal role in your progress. Half guard is more than just a defensive tool—it offers powerful sweeps, submissions, and control over an opponent’s movement. It is also a highly effective position that requires less flexibility than other guards, making it accessible to a wide range of practitioners. Understanding how to effectively use half guard will improve both your offensive and defensive capabilities on the mats.

A strong half guard requires proper frames, underhooks, and the ability to create opportunities for sweeps or submissions. By focusing on key principles such as positioning, balance, and timing, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of how to use this position to your advantage. Whether you’re working on preventing passes or setting up attacks, refining your half guard game will take your Jiu-Jitsu to the next level. Get ready to train hard and level up this week!
