no-gi Sambo: leg locks from the bottom of half guard

the half guard is an important position in the battle for leg locks, both on the top and the bottom. in this video Reilly Bodycomb demonstrates both the wrong way to attempt to try to get to leg control from the bottom and a few approaches that i feel are safer.

II have used them both, they are good moves.

I use the second one all the time. After you've done it for guys will start posting their far leg so that don't move but that puts them in deep half guard ala jeff glover. Needless to say, I love deep half guard now.

@andrew7913 yup, except for the insane amount of throws...equal to judo, and all that......

I don't respect Reilly without a beard or at LEAST the five o'clock shadow.

One thing you said was you always attack the outside leg from half guard which is not true. There are a few moves attacking the same leg you have locked down, my favorite is a calf crank. But i love this video:) Awesome way to get to control

Nice video.

I usually use that second setup (because you have the option of a sweep aswell) but I've been leaving my other leg out there instead of clearing it under his stomach so I've been leaving my foot in danger of a leg lock too.

Gonna start practicing getting that leg to the other side.

Very nice video, impressive skills.

Good job. I am glad that sambo guys started thinking more about ground.
