Progression for Half Guard and Didactic Tips (Wim Deputter 21m)

In this video I will give a progression of how I let kids and beginners get acquantainted with the concepts of Half Guard (Deep Half Guard to be more precise) and related positions. Kids in particular, and beginners as well, tend to have shorter attention spans than older and / or more experienced grapplers. You can pack only so much details in a single class. If an explanation takes too long, you will lose most kids and beginners.

The idea of this progression is to provide a playful way to teach this subject so it engages the students.

My teaching method is taught with Half Guard as an example but you can tailor it to any technique or position if you like.

I studied and used to work as teacher in Physical Education for many years. Throughout this video I add some didactics and tips on how teach which I picked up along the
way. You are always welcome to reach out to me with questions or feedback!
