Coyote Guard
Position Details
Coyote guard (or coyote half guard) is a half guard variation where you use a lockdown-type control combined with a deep underhook to create sweeping and back-taking opportunities.
Key Principles
- Establish strong leg control on their trapped leg
- Secure a deep underhook
- Work to off-balance them using the combined controls
- Threaten back takes when they defend sweeps
Concepts
- Sweep Mechanics: The lockdown and underhook work together
- Back Take Entries: Coming to the back when they resist
- Control Maintenance: Keeping the position when they fight
- System Integration: Works with other half guard positions
