Brian is an amazing instructor. He has the knowledge of Danaher but breaks things down so it's easier to digest.
10/10 would recommend
I like how half butterfly can be used with clamp and Ashi positions
Brian explains positions very well
Very detailed instruction and a wealth of techniques
This was my first Brian Glick instructional and I was not disappointed! He really is like Danaher without the 4 hour physics lecture. Gave me everything I needed to know about half butterfly with great details and a thorough explanation of how everything fits together
Excellent video
Professor Glick does a great job of explaining BJJ
Brian is an excellent instructor! My game changed completed cause of this instructional!
I'm no stranger too instructionals some are good and some can be bad and or hard to understand. I completely disagree with Coach Brian on being a bad teacher. The way he explains butterfly half guard improved my over all half guard immensely! His breakdown of concepts and details is next level. I can't wait to purchase his clamp instructional and really get dangerous with my half guard game. Great job Brian! Thanks BJJ Fanatics and Bernardo you are my hero!
Great instructions. Very thorough and well organized.
left elbow position to the head
leg entries and inside control
Professor Glick is an excellent teacher and conveys complex ideas in easy-to-understand ways. Really impressed with this one. It's helpful to see a slower, smaller, less athletic guy review guard concepts.
johns stuff a little less long winded
One of the best instructionals I’ve seen on the half butterfly. Brian glick is one of the best teachers.
This was a great supplement to my half guard and half butterfly game. Learned some good tactics here.
Very Good , solid instructional for entries, finishes and submissions to half butterfly sweep. Enjoyed summarizing techniques in final chapter. recommended
Incredible instructional Brian is really the best of these instructions clear and precise clear information given to you straightforward
This is now a really strong branch of my main game now.
Prof Glick’s content is absolutely a corner stone to your bjj mastery. His detailed instruction never drags on, and yet manages to touch on the finer points of any one detail. I’ve truly enjoyed his style, and the “executive summary” section is an absolute genius addition to the instructional market. Highly recommend.
clear and non complicated techniques for instant progres.
this is a great compliment to players who like to use butterfly or half guard. Great transition position to defend an attack awesome instruction as usual from professor Glick.

Simple and to the point, makes Butterfly Half feel really straight forward, if you know the basics of Butterfly and Half Guard
This is a good instructional, I use the position a lot, this has some good techniques in it
I really like Brian's method of instruction: he's clear, goes at a slow pace and adds a lot of details.

Brian helps fill in all the details for half butterfly Danaher didn’t get into in his fundamental half guard instructional. Brian picks up where John leaves off giving this more specialized type of half guard it’s own deep dive.
very thoughtful and concise content. love the executive summary section
The instructional is full of game changing and well explained techniques, complete guide to half butterfly guard.
Brian Glick picks up where John Danaher leaves off. If you already have a good half guard game this is for you.
