Hi guys,
I've been studying Lucas Leite's game and I was surprised by how he fought stronger and, probably, by looking at his weigh and where he competes, heavier fighters with Half Guard.
What caught my attention was that Half is a position that lots of people out there, including Mendes Bros, point as a no-to-go position whenever you are fighting bigger people, and Lucas still has a lot of success with it.
Why do you think is that? I've also read the great breakdown of Gambledub, but I still have no clues of the reason why his game succeeds against bigger people
For those who are not familiar with his game, here there is really clear video in which he plays this low-deep half guard.
