Jiu Jitsu Solitaire


This AVS DVD player I installed on my PC lets me take snapshots from DVDs, something I could never get Windows Media Player to do. With that, here's the latest installment of Jiu jisu Solitaire featuring, once again, the half-guard!


This is a superfight between Jean Jacques Machado and Dean Lister from ADCC 2005. Machado works from the half-guard and butterfly guard with overhooks for most of the first half of the match. This picture comes from the second half, just as Lister is starting to wear down Machado's guard.

This half-guard pass is a common one, one that I've had to deal with a lot when working from the half. I've been looking for a good picture of it to study and this one is as good as any I've found.
