Remembered a few more points that are worth noting.
- Several times when I had long distance half guard, they postured back. I didn't like them having a lot of space, so I followed them by getting up on my elbow or hand and pushing into them. I'm not in danger of being crossfaced as long as they sit back, and if they drive in, I lay back down and get my grips again. Thinking about it now, this moment, as they drive back in, is probably a great time to dive deep since their momentum is driving into me.
- One of the sweeps I got (I think on the first blue belt) was a hip bump of sorts from half guard. I kept going for wrist control, pulling his elbow over, attempting kimuras. He postured back and I followed him up and threw my hips up and switched them to sweep him over.
- The long distance half guard baited most of them to try to leg binding pass where they thread their arm between my thighs. I found I could use their grip against them by swinging my knee up like I want to go to Gustavo's quarter guard. Even without me holding their sleeve, by trying to hug my leg they gave me the leverage I needed on their arm to swing their weight forward by flaring my knee out. Will investigate this more.
