Great as usual
A great product that can be easily paired with Toms half domination product, to build a system surrounding the half guard. Concise teaching as is to be expected from Tom, meaning you learn a lot, quickly.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻I have almost all of
I have almost all of Tom’s videos. He explains things on a basic level. If he put out a video on how to eat ice cream I would probably get it, because I know I would learn something.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻awesome half guard
the butterfly half is an awesome way to play half guard. It will be extremely effective at lower levels as many people have never encountered it and provides a good way to keep someone off of you in half guard while still being able to pull off a lot of half guard attacks.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic
Added a great element to my BJJ. I tend to get stuck in half guard quite a bit and it's great to have some multiple techniques i can transition to and from. Tom explains and demonstrates everything very simply and clearly. The videos are organized well and are very easy to follow.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Best instructional I've watched
I have watched 12 different athlete's instructionals now and Tom is my favourite by a stretch, he covers every scenario and reaction from the opponent and systematically breaks the position down perfectly. Amazing value for money I will be buying more of his instructionals.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great complement to anybody’s half guard game
I really enjoyed this half guard break down and tutorial of how Tom handles different half guard situation, and provides details to deal with different scenarios. I would definitely recommend this to younger belts (white to purple.)
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Butterfly Half
Mr. DeBlass is one of my favorite instructors. This covers how to sweep to mount and cross side against low and standing. Transitions to Ashi-X for sweeps and leg locks as well as armlocks and omoplatas on both near and far arms! I think if you are a short stocky grappler like me this is the guard for you! Sometimes its the subtle things that make the biggest difference and this has nice details about pass prevention regarding both movement and mitigating pressure. Awesome stuff!
Response from BJJ FanaticsNice man, thanks a lot! Keep studying!Helpful
Very insightful and useful techniques, would defiantly recommend.
Great series
My bottom half guard game grew leaps and bounds with this. As a white belt you tend to get stuck on bottom a lot and this helped me out so much with dealing with it.
I use the half butterfly
I use the half butterfly all the time, great addition to my game
