Just learn directly from the source! Bernado Faria is the GOAD of the halfguard.
Really sympathatic, down-to the point instructional. At the end, I think it could have been more sweeps covered but the shown material is really useful and a good starting point for deep half & co
My son loves it
This was wonderfully delightful 🙂
Very util
Muy util
I love half guard and I learned a lot from this content
Simple half guard game in the Gi which works very well. The interplay between undertook single leg and deep half is well explained and demonstrated in the rolls. If you play half guard then this is a must know.
Good coverage of Half Guard
Bernard s expieireiene has given me a better half guard
This has been an excellent, nuanced, mature considered instructional. It is made by someone who has based their career off this guard, and taken it to multiple word championships. It has improved my game, giving it clear direction and purpose.
Bernardo is a great instructor. Huge honor
Bernados instructionals are always on point, couldn't fault this especially for the price. Look forward to the next purchase.
Bernardo is amazing
Excellent, easy to understand and follow. He always makes sure he puts the small details in there.
I am a big guy, so Bernardo Farias technique work for me, but it will also work for anyone because the principles apply for for any type of competitor. Pressure passing is the best.
As an older guy I like half guard it helps me slow the young guys in my gym down and I use it catch my breath if I need too. I think anyone can learn some tips and tricks from Bernardo. Highly recommend this one for anyone.
good~!~!
amazing guys guys
Nice details
Guard can be so tough especially as you get older and less agile but this is what I have been looking for . super practicle for the older person looking to have a strong guard that actually works really appreciate the game plan portion as well how Bernardo shows how the moves compliment each other !
excellent work
Bernardo Faria teaches the Half Guard techniques that got him the gold in the competitions. Great instructional!
Who better to teach half guard than Bernado. This helped improve my half guard game. I appreciate the specific rolling with commentary, showing Bernado utilise his half guard in real time.
The technique of Bernardo is very different to other half guard courses I have bought. He focuses on 2 main games: - single leg half guard - deep half guard And always controlling the lapel. His games goes around sweeps and controlling the position, but the interesting part is that he is not going through the basic techniques that other instructors are teaching, but rather he focuses on his game, and what worked for him in competition. This course will for sure help those who are trying to develop a very strong half guard game, even if you bought other courses before
