50/50 Guard

The 50/50 guard is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu position where both practitioners are seated on their sides facing each other, each with their legs intertwined. It creates an equal, balanced scenario—hence "50/50"—allowing both participants to attack or defend equally. This position offers opportunities for sweeps, takedowns, or submissions, but also requires strategic control and timing. Essentially, it’s a neutral stance where neither person has a clear advantage, emphasizing positional stability and the potential to transition into offensive moves.
