Calf slicer from bottom half guard

Brown beltNo-Gi0:05Archive lesson

Deivid's caption calls this "my favorite way to finish the calf slicer, from bottom half guard," and the on-screen text in the clip reads "FINISH THE CALF SLICER." From the bottom of half guard in no-gi, he sits up, rolls toward the trapped leg, and finishes holding his partner's foot.

The breakdown — piece by piece

STEP 1 · 0:00–0:02

Sit up from bottom half guard

You are on the bottom with your partner's leg trapped between yours in half guard. Sit up toward him and wrap an arm around his back to stay connected.

STEP 2 · 0:02–0:03

Roll under and trap the leg

Roll in toward the trapped leg and come up behind it, capturing his lower leg across your own shin so his calf is pinned against it.

STEP 3 · 0:03–0:05

Pull the foot and finish

Seated behind his leg, take his foot in both hands and pull it toward you. Your shin drives into the back of his calf and knee as he folds over the leg, and the slicer is on.
