Sloth Deep Half Guard No-Gi
Control. Conserve Energy. Dominate from Below.
I’m Gile Huni, a 45-year-old black belt who’s been on the mats for decades. I’ve built my game around Sloth Jiu-Jitsu—a style that slows opponents down, drains their energy, and lets me take control without wasting mine.
At the core of this game is Deep Half Guard—the ultimate lazy man’s position.

Why Deep Half Works for Sloth Jiu-Jitsu
• Effortless Control: You sit safely under your opponent, forcing them to constantly adjust while you relax and set traps.
• Energy Efficient: No fast scrambles or fancy flexibility—just tight positioning and smart leverage.
• Perfect for Older or Less Athletic Grapplers: No need for speed or strength. This game is all about timing and structure.
• Safe & Stable: Protected limbs, hard to pass, and nearly impossible to submit from tight Deep Half.
• Easy Sweeps: Small movements = big results. You’ll learn clean sweeps and transitions that work against anyone.
