What an amazing instructor and competitor. Huge honor and respect!!
I enjoy how you show the technique along with possible mishaps that may occur. Really appreciate your techniques.
The reason for the name is because when John Wayne got in fights in westerns, for some reason they always log rolled over and over.
"Speak the truth, but ride a fast horse." John Wayne
Very nice technique chain very well explained as always, thx!
It is called John Wayne sweep because the movie scene where he rolls with an indian like this sweep.
which movie?
Yes, which movie
I want to learn it from the source.
@@prandz420 basically every John Wayne movie lol
Harrison Helterbrand haha I’m young I haven’t seen any John Wayne movies sadly. I’ve seen Shanghai noon with Owen Wilson and Jackie chan does that count?
Your half guard dvd id recomend
I used the John wayne sweep while i was getting smash but still in half guard .
I love these kind of dilemmas. Fantastic. My instructor loves this kind of reverse kesa gatame, let's see if i can annoy him a bit :D
were you ever able to annoy him with this?
Really good stuff, thanks
Thanks for sharing this explanation, Lachlan! Love the way you show the variations of the same position!
Could you give me an advice about what to do when you are on bottom half guard and your opponent does this hip switch (at 6:03) but you didn't grab the arm first?
This is my nightmare on the half guard...
PS: sorry for my broken english
Thanks. Any chance you could give some advice (hopefully detailed!!) on countering the sprawl. I use half and knee shield a lot and it is the pass that gives me the most grief. I'm developing some counters as I go but any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Luke, do you mean where they hug around your thighs and sprawl back to break the half guard open? If so i'll see if I can get a video up. Prevention definitely better than cure for that one!
Absolute MMA St Kilda yep that's a pretty common one. I've been experimenting with loop chokes, various shoulder head controls to drive the head down and get some sort of control or extract an arm. That'd be awesome if you could put a video up!!
Absolute MMA St Kilda any luck on countering the sprawl pass? 😜🙏
Luke Whiffen I also agree that prevention is better than the cure. I have success taking away that pass option when playing half knee shield by constant grip fighting and control of the knee shield side arm. Never let them set grips or get into a comfortable position to pass in your half. Don't be afraid to disengage from half/quarter guard to open guard if the top guy starts to retreat in your half to try and sprawl out on your legs. However if you get lazy and they manage to sprawl and wrap their arms around your legs you have options but I think you have to address what to do from a conceptual standpoint based on how close they are to passing. Try working on the prevention first so you never even have to deal with it but I agree it's a tough pass to deal with if you're late on the counter.
Good stuff as usual
is this a knee lever in danaher language?
When should I rather go to high knee shield and when should I use regular knee shield (z-guard)?
You use high knee shield when you want to attack your opponent and low knee shield to create space. Its super easy to reguard from low knew shield. High knew shield is super awkward to reguard from.
How does he play such a high knee shield without getting Ankle locked?
It’s tough to do a straight ankle lock when you do t have control of the hips. As soon as he goes for it, Lachan will be getting up and putting his foot to the floor before the opponent can secure the two feet on his hip.
@@tommym321 Ahh thank you! I'm kind of a noob with leg locks.
@@CJ-hx9du I’m worried I didn’t explain it very well. It’s hard to describe in a comment.

Lach,
Would really really love a technique countering the ‘switch base’ half guard. Marcelo calls it the turning half guard (not to be confused with reverse half, as you probably already known.) you do demonstrate a little here, but that’s assuming we controlled the far arm. Usually people switch base and have both arms free, with one hand pushing your down so they can slip their legs out.
Yep I know the one, there are a couple of ways to counter this but I don't think I have it on video yet. Soon I think!
@@AbsoluteMMAStKilda Has this video been posted?! Only thing that could be better is a video on over under pass defense with a lot of live sparring examples!
Thanks for the hard work and sharing! Sub'd!!!
Kinda looks like the shaolin sweep!
the shaolin sweep involves a back flip :/
Why John Wayne ,lucky ?? lol
