Names the deep-half entry to the back
Deep half back entry is a descriptive name for the deep half back take — naming the entry to the opponent’s back from deep half guard.
Etymology. “Deep half” names the underneath position; “back entry” names the destination and action. The compound is plain mechanical description of where the sequence starts and ends.
Mechanics. From deep half the bottom player must first establish the controlling connection that leads behind the opponent — an underhook and a grip that travel around to the back; connection is the prerequisite, since without it the bottom player surfaces beside the opponent rather than behind them.
Cross-reference. “Waiter back take” is a sibling alias. Full mechanical coverage on Deep Half Back Take.
