In the days of old, half guard was more of a position of last resort. It was a position to get when your guard was about to pass your gaurd (and once you got there you worked to get back to full gaurd.
The times have changed though
Fast forward twenty years and half gaurd today is seen primarily as an offensive position with lots of sweeping positions and attacks. Half guard, deep half guard, lock down, etc.....there may be more sweeps from half gaurd options that any other other guard in jiu jitu.
In this video, Instructor Tommy Gilligan teaches on of the safest and high percentage half gaurd passes in BJJ. This lesson is taught in our fundamentals program
