Theme & Techniques: Deep Half: Entering from Mount, Side Control, Half Guard; Homer Sweep, Shin Sweep, Kick Sweep to Double Unders
Students: Morgan, Andy, Justin
Small class today and the regular material for the week was pretty basic with kneeling guard break and double under pass which I knew both Morgan and Andy were familiar with. I've been working with Morgan a little bit on deep half so he requested to work on that some more. I'm feeling like I'm developing a seminar type format for this position as I've taught it occasionally. I'm figuring out the best progression which starts with escaping mount to deep half, I think this is a pretty direct approach to getting to the position. Then I'll introduce the Homer Simpson sweep and the students will attempt that through the other entries.
From there I go to side control and finally half guard. I usually teach to get an underhook with the knee shield before going to the position but there are several ways to get the underhook. Finally I add in some additional sweeps using the lapel and the butterfly hook. I hardly ever make it to the waiter sweep and may make that and back takes a part of the advanced seminar.
Rolling: Deep Half Lab, Free Rolling
Rolled With: Everyone
Had everyone go a little lighter on the deep half 2 minute rounds. The person on top went easy on the entry then raised the intensity once they got to deep half to try to prevent being swept. I think this was a good way to get them to work with the position. We finished with a few free rolls and I worked my way to deep half a few times just to challenge myself and prove that it worked.
