Half Guard to Guard Recomposition (Intermediate)

Professor Frederico Silva teaches how to transition from the half guard to the closed guard when the opponent controls the head. Frederico has the opponent in the half guard and the opponent reaches over to control Frederico’s head. Frederico uses one arm to frame under the opponent’s neck. He now switches the hooks on the leg and uses his elbow to push the opponent’s leg to the side. This allows Frederico to slide his knee inside. He now controls the arm so he can switch his hips. From here, Frederico now brings his other leg over and recomposes the guard.
