Firas Zahabi – Advanced Basics 20 – 50 50 Made Easy

Make sure you make time for learning the 50/50 position. If you don’t, you will one day come across a grappler who has, and you will be defeated. Don’t be fooled; you cannot simply improvise your way out of a slick grappler’s 50/50. I don’t care if you’re a lifelong wrestler or grappler; if you don’t study the 50/50 position, your chances of escape are minimal! Unlike other guards, the 50/50 position relies on structure and not friction to control the opponent. This is a major advantage over other guards.
