Private Class No.13...

Some more work from half guard position on bottom. 

A quick question about the competition fight I lost and the key to not allowing an opponent to pass from a high frame half guard position is for the bottom foot hooks to stay active. Ways to improve the position included cross gripping with thumb up on left hand, and the right hand managing distance on the opponent's arm. The knee also has to connect to the left elbow to form a solid frame.

Options:
When opponent tries to flatten you, go to overhook and attack using triangle armbar or omoplata.
When opponent tries to posture up, underhook with left arm round waist; switch hooks and stretch leg to attack opponent's base; then go to knees; but keep leg trapped; then attack for back, knee tap with right hand and drive forward with undertook.
When opponent tries to posture up; underhook with left arm round waist; switch hooks and stretch leg to attack opponent's base; go to knees but trap leg; then knee tap with right hand; if opponent bases out to prevent the knee tap; then drive forward with shoulder to collapse opponent.
