While looking for something else, I stumbled upon Philipe Della Monica demonstrating the reverse half guard position with Budo Jake and it definitely got me thinking. Here's the video:
Anybody actually integrate this into their game? I noticed there's also a DVD where he goes into significant detail about various attacks and entries. I find myself in this position quite a lot from top, but more in the Marcelo Garcia style where you can either get under the elbow and pass, bait him up for the guillotine/armbar/omoplata, or restep and set up a knee slide on the other side. I would not have thought it a place where you'd want to put yourself on purpose.
So is it worth my time to start exploring and practicing this? Seems like there'd be some tricky Jeff Glover-type stuff available from here as well.
