One of the worst things you could let someone do to you in BJJ is to let them get an underhook… Especially a deep underhook – if that happens, you’re going to be in trouble most of the times.
Because, if you don’t deal with it, they’ll almost certainly get to your back.
However, there are things you can do to counter this.
If you get an under hook from bottom half guard, it can easily lead to the demise of the top player. The under hook can be one of the most powerful and game changing aspects of the half guard. Both from bottom and top, in half guard, we are almost always fighting for the under hook.
