This BJJ Half Guard Sweep is So Effortless You Might Giggle

- This Half Guard technique is by far one of my favorites. And honestly, I think it's an absolutely beautiful technique for understanding how the Hip Shovel works in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
The Hip Shovel is a movement which in involves getting your hips under someone else's. This is required to efficiently execute many Half Guard sweeps and transition to positions like X Guard, Deep Half Guard, etc.
In this video you'll see Steve as my partner. Steve joined us on the Pura Vida BJJ and Surfing retreat this past year.
During our week of training. He was interested in the sweep and learning how to use Half Guard for his Brazilian Jiujitsu game.
So I wanted to make this video with him to help.
The Giggler as we call it within our association, many people call this the "John Wayne" sweep, is so useful. We call it the Giggler because it works off a proper response from the person on top.
It just requires careful timing and being smart not to give away the grips early.
If you're trying to make your BJJ Half Guard better, I hope this Sweep is useful for you both as a stand alone technique but also understanding the technical aspects of the Half Guard position.
Thanks for watching!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.
I actually watched this video the night before the 2018 Louisiana BJJ State Championships and used it during the tournament. This sweep gave me the points to come out on top in my division and walk away with the gold. An excellent technique that was easy to implement and took my opponent unaware. Thanks Professor!!
Tim Pearson that is amazing! 😎😄
awesome!
Good job Tim!!
Do you have a video of you using the sweep in the tournament? It’d be cool to see !
@@samr826 I don't. Wish I did
I swear I’m going to lose my job because I can’t help but get sucked into these videos lol
Same lmfaooo
My coach taught me this the other day but he called it the John Wayne sweep cause it looks like in the old westerns when 2 cowboys would Duke it out and roll on the ground lol
I work half-guard lock down alot. I never thought to shoot my hips. Could be a game changer for me! Thank you Professor chewbac....Chewy... :D
I use the half guard lock down alot as well. I use to stall them and either sweep them or electric chair. but I really do have to work on other sweeps as well
I agree. I am rather new to the game so I usually land in half guards. Always appreciate the videos and the advice from the channels followers :).
I just tried this on a bigger guy and BAM! Worked like a charm!!!! ...WB myself John ;)
Its a bad position if the guy is striking. My HG is on me trying to GET UP. Not easy if the guy is giant
What a handsome looking partner you've picked there.
It's you right? haha
Haha yep
You both looked like zombies!
STEEVEEEE
Playing HG will get you killed in the streets or MMA. Many fights end from HG on top with smashes
I tried this last training even without all the correct steps you taught, it worked like 10-15 times in live rolling, thanks Mate
Good stuff. I just love BJJ and the people that train it. Best decision I have ever made.
Appreciate the hip shovel breakdown. A core movement is 10x better than learning just some sweep. Have you seen how Barnoui used this sweep against Mackachev?
SSSSTTTTTEEEEEVVVVEEE....IS NOW THE COOLIEST WHITEBELT ON THE PLANET! Lol..great video..ty!
The small yet crucial difference between just rolling as opposed to getting your hips under the person is HUGE! Such a great video! I tend to play a lot of X-guard and SLX, so I'm familiar with this idea of getting my hips under the person, but I never knew how you can actually apply it in half guard!
Half assed this last night bc I forgot the grips and it still worked on a larger opponent!
Great move. The slipping under part is a bit counterintuitive and I'm kinda paranoid about being on my back, but I shall give this a try ! Thanks for the video
I've been toying with this move and I think an important element is in the burst of motion when you switch your hips, you try to get up on one hip, specifically the hip on the side you're trying to roll them.
Can you please show a nogi variation??
I play a lot of half guard and this sweep is awesome!!! Caught a lot of my training partners off guard. Thanks Chewy!
I actually did giggle once you showed it :D so simple and yet effective. I shall try this in no-gi practice today.
did you land it? I hope you did! I'm gonna try this in no-gi or gi tonight! (I am a 12-yr o grey belt!
Chewy your more like qui gon jin fromnstar wars and chad's obi wan konobi
ok i am going to do this tomorrow...i have always problems when i am in half guard, i do always the same things, now it's time to add some new tricks from this position too.. OSS
Nice technique, I´ll try it tomorrow.
Scary black belt at the end :/
Can’t stop listening to the people in the background o_0
Right on, I watch Chewy’s videos now and then but this one got me to subscribe
About time. . . ;)
Probably one of the best bjj teachers on UA-cam, I use this and your side control flip all the time now
Thanks chew. All the guys at my gym are bigger than me so the best I can usually ask for is escaping their side control into half guard, working it into full guard and then sweep, but I need to just start sweeping from half guard.
I find myself in half guard quiet a bit so this is really helpful
This is so cool, thank you. I always roll with this girl and I always get stuck in half guard, and this worked!!!
I learned this sweep a couple months ago. It's crazy simple and couldn't help but think...why didn't I think of that. Thanks for sharing.
I love this sweep now! I used to be terrible at half guard, so I started watching videos with this one showing up first. Rolling with another blue belt last night, he probably has 50lbs on me, and was doing a great job of using that weight to crush down on me. Worked to get my knee shield in and then pulled this off lefty despite only having drilled it righty.
I literally walked through it step by step in my head as I did it and it worked like a charm. Nice easy sweep into a weak half guard I easily passed with a knee slide. I'm a believer!
“Your not going to throw me off my game dawg!” Chew knows what it is.
I’ve seen a version called the trump sweep. Where you get a Russian tie on the same side arm.
thats awesome, our instructor calls the grip on the pants by the drawstring the "Trump grip" cuz your "grabbin your partners ass without permission"
Is the Russian tie effective if the guy is striking. His other arm is free lol
David if you’re good enough i guess lol
Thanks. Worked a treat at last night's training on a much bigger opponent a couple of belts higher than me.
good stuff learning every day , thank you .
Okay, so I've used this sweep the day I found out about it, which is about a week ago. It works 100% of the time. None of my partners seem to know any counter to it, so long as I time it right.
How didn't I know about such a simple and effective sweep until now? What is this sorcery?
What if they have under hooked your head
Excellent video! Thank you Chewie
oss muito bom
Omg thankyou so much chewy. I needed this today. Love your videos.
Where was this vid last night.... I was bottom half guard alot. Got invited to a dojo walked in nothing but purple belts all the way to black walling around, mind you I'm a white belt..... I got ki locked so many times so many joint subs were hit on me😂😂
Thanks for the video. Excellent technique. Question - with no gi how do you trap the other guy's left hand across your body to make the sweep work?
other guy's right arm across your body*
would it be an arm drag?
Fucking love it!
I am going to study the shit out of this video. All month long in class we are working from shinguard anyway. This will be very helpful
i actually hate half guard, hope this help me, thx!
Sean Roberts does this sweep like a monster. Ask Rodolfo Viera.
I can't do this, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, everytime I do it my partner just passed
Dammit. could have done with this yesterday at the British. Ended up in half guard for the whole round and he just got the pass for points at the end!!
I do a similar move from lockdown where I push my souls on the mat on the inside after undoing lockdiwn for a second. I use the opposite arm to chop his lat and his hand under my head posts giving me double unders, or he rolls over.
I guess I’ve been auto doing this already as a white belt. But sometimes swept the wrong way and got stuck
Does this work as well when theyre lacing your leg? can you take the grip now between your legs and kick through before they smash you?
Thanks! I need some ideas for my next blue stripe test.
I like half guard to... I had one sweep already but now I got 2
By George, that's the detail my half guard has been missing! I'm the guy who tries to pull when I'm on half bottom. I'm going to give the shooting my hips a try! Thanks for another awesome video!
I am at 0:31 and already liking this video because of that tip only.
You have a dead pixel on your camera. Red dot on black gi @2:11
You do wanna sweep him over but you gotta use your legs and your arm that has his other leg to sweep him over
Big chewy not really bjj related. What is that on your foot?Jw because I get foot injuries around that area a lot from striking and grappling .Is that a band aid or compression band what is that??
Tu Papi Puto looks to me like a tribal band tattoo, maybe it wraps around to the top of his foot
Very nifty and a sweep I like to use too!!
What for? You must know me... Find me on fb
This helped alot! thanks Chew and steve! :D
Why does he grab the belt instead of scooping their leg?
If you’re in no gi what would be the best grip on the wrist to secure it?
Dude, audio audio audio sounds like you’re in a convention
he's a good guy, but his sense of humour is pathetic
Lol Steeeeve.... it’s a good one
Who disliked this and why?
some guy who keeps getting smashed in half guard
Some guy who doesn't like to giggle
dudes with shitty beards and worse ground games dislike these vids :)
Some big dude
Master Wong, Jake Mace Tai Chi master and probably some random SJWs, feminists and gender confused people.
Steeeeeeevveeee!!!!!!!..... Awesome Content and tech.
you can use this via no gi by bringing his left wrist to center?
After i roll him over am I transitioning right to Mount or side control? ( Begginer) LoL
in his half guard
pressure was on with Shawn watching
lol. so simple and fundamental concept
does this hit in no gi? or do they get their arm out too easily?
I don't think I understand....this just seems like you're rolling over...and that doesn't seem like it would work.
I know right? But man it works so damn well.
Gi jujitsu needs to go away.
😒
theres one broken red pixel on your camera you've probably replaced in the last 2 years,
Literally unwatchable
Fuzzy ?
It s the clue to stop islam makhachev
My sister trains here.. I'm jealous. She's taken a break because of the pandemic... I was like sis.. You're a fool train with that dude as much as possible ....Chewy is such a great teacher.
Must drop a like for showing love to the white belts (unless you've sandbagged him).
Beautiful work
Heading to class in an hour - gonna try this one out.
Update: Totally worked!! Except that I used it to go for the Electric Chair transition (one of my faves).
This sweet is the first ever one to work for me in sparring. Hit it last Night, still happy
Thanx Professor
Chewy used have guard sweep. It was SUPER EFFECTIVE!
Yep I've been using this sweep for years. Thats how juijitsu should be...effortless sweeps.
I separated my shoulder on a half guard sweep last week
That means you are doing it right!
Hey bigg dogg I'm a half gaurd player and I luv more than anything hitting this sweep and especially the darce counter from half gaurd was a game changer thanx a million for the vids. Much luv and a million hearts from medford or
White belt question...how quick do you need to establish the grip on the sleeve? Right when they pass guard? I feel like when I end up in half guard, I am putting both hands on the (outside) bicep so they can't use their (left) arm to try and move to side control. Or I am trying to get the underhook on my side with the knee shield. Sorry if that doesn't make sense.
im new and i loooove half guard
This is amazingly simplistic, I always find myself getting flattened by heavy guys in HG because I forget to react quick enough and frame, but this is such an awesome sweep that will always pay off if you can get that arm across the midline, which can be a pain in the ass. Would it work just as well if you got the overhook and grabbed their lapel to trap the arm? just in case you struggle to control the sleeve? thanks Chewy!
Does anyone know where this was filmed at? I'm looking for BJJ/MMA retreats to train at.
Hey Chewie I'm from Costa Rica and in the previous video you mentioned you were in a bjj gym here. I'm curious where the gym in this video is from exactly so I could start learning proper bjj.
Tracy Mendiola it's in Nosara. Place called jungles edge.
spearce10 Ah shit thats so far away.
What is the difference if you fight on black belt guy in competition & you will defend yourself against armed intruder in the middle of the night in your own home. The black belt guy is just want to win but don't want to kill. The armed intruder will be the night mare of your life & ready to kill. So you still need to own firearm for home defense.
Hey Chewie, when you go for the palm under the belt aren't you susceptible to being cross-faced? From a guy trying hard to get better at not getting smashed in half guard!
Mansour Barnaoui ( mma champion who earn 1 million) use this sweep like every fights
How about the old school underhook half guard and toe tuck sweep? Isn't that being more on the side of the opponent so that you're not flat under them? When should you apply which style of half guard? Or am I getting it all wrong here? Hahaha
thank you chewy! as soon as you said you have to get under the guy instead of just rolling, my mind was blown.
Usually i'm a lockdown player and that helped me so much with my sweeps.
Thank you! Oss!
Brother i hope you doing great... this is a awesome video, if you could do one to help me escape the kimura in the deep half guard i will appreciate 🤙🏻🙏🏻 Oss!!!
Hi Chewie. This is one of those moves that is so simple you almost want to apologize when you pull it off. I really need to work on my technique for passing the arm across. Like you say, I think I am telegraphing it and need to work on a bit more stealth.
Thanks will try. Sounds very do-able.
The example at about 4:10 made everything kinda click
Homeboy is sooo happy to be on cam
Pros: An Awesomely easy to learn and pull sweep, especially vs bigger guys. (THANKS CHEWY!!!!!)
Con: Not enough Ambalamces in the background noise (none in fact!)
Pro: Steve!
Thanks again Chewy, great vid for a great technique!
My instructor did this to me 3 times in a roll. He would trick me into thinking he is taking my back than wait for pressure
Is this one of those times that it is actually acceptable to be lying flat on your back? After you pull yourself under
