"Kiss of the Dragon" vs. Knee cut by @masonfowlerbjj When playing half guard, once the opponent brings their knee over your leg for the knee cut, avoid attempting an underhook, as it can lead to a three-quarter mount. Reverse de la riva inversions are a good option instead vs the knee cut pass. All half-guard technique from the seminar is included with Mason’s Cold Blooded Half Guard course available now on Digitsu! #bjj
