Pull Deep Half Guard and Transition to the Faria Sweep with Bernardo Faria
Posted by Fanatics Authors on
We’ve been getting sneak peeks from Bernardo Faria’s new instructional on transitions.
What we’ve seen so far has been incredibly user friendly and very applicable. Good knowledge of transitioning can be a key factor in the flow of a match. If you can win in the transition, you will be way ahead of your opponent.

In this excerpt from his instructional, Faria shows us how to pull half guard with the intention of transitioning to the deep half guard to reverse your opponent. This is easy to follow and very effective. Take a look!
I really enjoy how Faria sets up the half guard pull. He takes a grip with his right hand on his partners same side lapel, then with a quick addition of a second grip pulls half guard. This happens quickly and with that second grip to back up the first one, he brings his partner quickly to the mat and in to position.
He foregoes the traditional half guard position and the under hook to transition to the deep half guard instead. Staying a bit sideways, with the deep half guard established, Faria open his partner’s gi with his front hand and secures the left lapel.

He reaches his front side hand under his partners leg and passes the lapel over the top of the leg to the front side hand. He controls his partner’s hip with his backside hand, rolls flat to his back, and then with a bridge and roll completes the reversal. At the completion of the sweep, Faria lands himself in a double under hook position ready to begin passing the guard.
Bernardo Faria has always been one of the most strategic and technical fighters in the game. Learn his transitions! Check out his DVD "Transition Mastery" and improve your game! Check it out here!
