Overview

Rafael Mendes demonstrates how to pass inverted half guard by forcing the opponent into standard half guard. He emphasizes using body weight and forward movement rather than arm strength to break the knee shield. The sequence includes a windshield wiper to switch sides, a critical skip-back for balance, and options to take the back or mount. He also details a counter against deep half guard using a pants grip and head pressure to stack the opponent before completing the pass.
