Deep-half guard to single-leg X guard transition.

Often, single-leg X guard is referred to as “straight ashi guarami”. At times I use the terms interchangeably, but when the focus is on sweeping or transitions, I tend to refer to it as single-leg X guard. On the other hand, when the focus is on foot-locks, I tend to refer to it as straight ashi gurami.

Key details/concepts: Keep yourself safe first in deep-half guard. Then to make the transition work keep your opponent off balance. The same to make the sweep work. Make sure your opponent is not comfortable (they are off-balance).
