Great Sweeps and Submissions. I didn't know you can play the half gard aggressive like that.
Great in depth technique
Awesome instructional!
Excellent class from one of the best fighters in history.
Great instructional. He is a big dude yet athletic. Shows great detail.
One of my favorite videos instructional about a full game of position in half guard. Great tutorial to make from a defensive half-guard to a full offensive.
Buchecha's half guard game has significantly helped my game. As a big guy it is nice to see another big guy demonstrate his techniques. I half purchased a couple of other half guard tutorials and this is in my top 3. Bernardo, Lucas, and now Buchecha. Oss!
Great instructional, Buchecha explains very well every aspect of the half guard, with a wide variety of sweeps.
Must get changed my guard game
M. B. is outlining the position to work from first and then he dives into the techniques. He summarizes the concept/principles behind each technique first and then walk through each technique step by step. If needed the camera angle changes during this process so that you can see every key detail. He will give slow and full soeed demonstrations. His explanaitions are simple but deep and on point and underlined by do's and dont's. Highly recommend!
Buchecha's half guard game details really have developed my game. I have been coming across some problems on the mat which this video has solved! Thank you! Oss
Great details from of the legends of the sport
Great to learn techniques form buchecha on my own time. His sweep details were amazing.
I always come back to this instructional and some of these techniques have turned in to my go to
Helped me improve on my favourite position.
Picked this up on sale on a whim. Ended up being one of my favorites. Recommend.
Buchechas success in Gi grappling should speak for itself, and this tutorial is innovative and highly technical. The intricacies are best suited to more advanced students, but Buchechas breaks it down in a way novice students will pick up.
A lot in here from half guard (gi), with an emphasis on sweeps. Some of the concepts will not apply to no gi, but overall there is great content in here from an important position.
Super video !!
This is a must have if you want to improve your half guard game. Buchecha is the best.
Great instructional full of awesome techniques
Changed my half guard game
Very good video, used some of the technique at practice.
Effective and helpful instructions!
Excellent content.. very well done
Buchecha really should make more videos. I feel like he’s good at sharing and explaining valuable technique that will work for most people not just elite athletes. Lots of technique based on basic movements and fundamentals at least at the academies I’ve trained at. Although I like some of the longer videos Out there I prefer shorter videos that I can revisit a long time later and don’t feel like I have to start over completely.
love BJJFanatics
Love this transition from deep half. details and grips allow for positional advantage
This instructional has some unique half guard techniques, I've already made some of the sweeps part of my game

Awesome tutorial
Awesome content for those half guard players!
Great video! Super easy to follow and worked for me in live rolls.
hit more sweeps from half thanks to this guy!
Great Stuff, really enjoying adding this to my game.
Good video. Clear instructions and good techniques. Just what I was looking for.
Top notch instructional on half guard. Very interesting chapter on deep half guard and lots of options explained in detail. Good job!
I love his style and it's a great resourse
I benefited from this instructional and implemented certain moves into my game. Buchecha shows no-nonsense techniques. Some techniques are basic, some are advanced, so i think everyone should find something for themselves.
素晴らしい
Buchecha is une of the best around. This instructional is simple amazing. The first volume is quite basic… but all the rest is amazing. The deep half is pure gold. Highly recommended.
Really easy to understand I learnt a lot!
As digital content goes, this isn't that well put together, it is a mash up of techniques from other platforms. That being said I use lots of the tech and it is extremely good. I would 100% recommend this.
Awesome sweeps and attacks from Half guard. Very detailed and easy to follow instructional from one of the best!
AWESOME! WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE TO LEARN FROM THE BEST, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CHANCE! I'VE USED SEVERAL OF THE TECHNIQUES IN LIVE ROLLING DURING CLASS, AND HAVE ACTUALLY HIT A COUPLE OF THE SWEEPS ON HIGHER BELTS! I USED TO BE A GET TO MOUNT, SIDE CONTROL TYPE OF GUY, BECAUSE I WAS NEVER COMFORTABLE IN GUARD OR HALF GUARD, BUT AFTER WATCHING BUCHECHA'S TECHNIQUES IN THE VIDEOS, I ACTUALLY LOOK FOR THE HALF GUARD POSITION MORE WHILE ROLLING, BECAUSE I'M COMFORTABLE AS A BLUE BELT WHILE HAVING HIGHER BELTS IN MY HALF GUARD!
