I keep getting passed when I play half guard. What am I doing wrong?

Getting passed in half guard is usually caused by one of three things:

  1. Missing the knee shield - This is your first line of defense to create distance
  2. Flat on your back - You need to stay on your side with good frames
  3. No underhook battle - Whoever wins the underhook usually wins the position

Which of these do you think is happening most often?
