Half guard or alternatively '''half mount''' is a Ground Grappling Position where one combatant is lying on the other, with the bottom combatant having one leg entangled. Sometimes the bottom combatant is said to be in half guard, while the top combatant is in a half mount respectively. The half guard is the position that is inbetween a Full Guard and Side Control or Full Mount . The combatant on top will try to unentangle the leg and obtain Side Control , while the bottom combatant will try to Transition into a Full Guard . The combatant on top is however is a better position, and can Strike or attempt Submission Holds , although not as well as in Side Control . X-GUARD The X-guard is a position related to the half guard where one of the combatants is standing up and the other is on his or her back. The bottom combatant uses the legs to entangle one of the opponent's legs, which creates opportunities for powerful Sweeps . In a Grappling match, this is an advantagous position for the bottom combatant, but in general Hand-to-hand Combat , the top combatant can attack with Stomps or Soccer Kick s. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
