Another great instructional
Amazing and brutal stuff! I hope the uke at least got a free pizza or something for all the suffering.
Melanson's details are like none other. Buy his stuff.
Neil has all the slickest moves that are super practical and take punches into consideration.

Melanson instructional are well worth the purchase. All round grappling game that translates between MMA / Gi and No Gi.
great options
I’ve got most of the stuff that he puts of and he never disappoints. This one is no different, full of really valuable stuff that I can’t wait to add to my game.
Neil is the best
Very easy to understand and apply. No wasted information.
great details
Very good
I'm a big fan of all things Melanson. If you want a different take on the half guard, one more agressive and brutal, then look no further.
great content
The most brutal half guard instructional out there. Also good for MMA.
Great content.
Hands down this is top 3 ever instructionals for me. I own over 20 instructionals, a lot of melanson's. I used this instructional to create my own unique guard. It worked against everyone in my gym and since it's so different people have trouble with it. Neil goes over important details and common problems. Neil's the man and his sense of humor is the best! If you're on the fence trust me it's worth it.
The instructional is well-paced and thorough. Neil takes the time to explain each technique in detail, which I found very beneficial. Thank you
Great for MMA & submission grappling and very different to other half guard instructionals. Outstanding if you love his (brutal) style. Highly recommend.
Another ****** from Melanson. Applicable to mma or sub grappling, this is one of the most versatile instructionals out today, strongly recommend.
Coach Neil Melanson did another great series. Half guard bottom to get on top. To submit your opponent. He points out so well when and where to put pressure or overtake pressure to get up and take down or to sweep and submit. He also points out how to get your opponent to post to launch your attack. Highly recommend!
Loveeee the section about half guard
One of my favorite teachers of violence.
Great instructional
