2 Part Lesson -- Marcelo advocates for his choice of preferred tactics from the Half Guard: Pummel for an Underhook and turn onto your side. Keep close to your opponent, even sitting up with them if they try to pull away. Take advantage of the jacket by grabbing the lapels and collars to help yourself get close. You can dive under the far leg to Take-Out-the-Trash or insert a Butterfly Hook and elevate for the sweep. [04:54] If your opponent pummels their elbow inside, rendering your Underhook less than ideal, don't reset and re-pummel; when on bottom, you will oftentimes lose ground over the position since your opponent has gravity at their advantage. Instead, keep what you have of the Underhook and pull yourself close to your opponent despite the elbow or frame. You can clean up the far arm and prevent it from posting out against your sweep with an Overhook or Underhook with your free arm.
