You can tell Bernardo has spent a tremendous amount of time developing his style. His atention to detail and ability to articulate it in simple consise terms is outstanding. I highly recommend this training module
help me develop my bottom game. Bernardo explained very well his game
Bernardo’s game from half guard is top tier and dynamic. not only are you given sweep, wrestle up, and submission options from half guard, Bernardo also shows you where half guard connects with other guards such as half butterfly, closed guard, deep half, etc. meaning he gives you a complete game as you don't always have thr luxury of staying in half guard. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to play half guard or who wants to get better at it.
5X World Champion Bernardo Faria presents his ultra successful gi half guard game to no gi. The best thing is that he covers everything from how to pull half guard from the feet to every response your opponent can make.
An amazing details, mentions all the tricky parts where most of us struggle and shows the way to fix it.

it's a huge honour to have such great instruction on half guard from someone who plays it so well at such a high level. great detail, lots of info and taught by one of the best. if your trying to develop a half guard game this is definitely one of the best resources you could have
I keep coming back to this after a couple years of playing with half guard off and on. Every time I think I have a solid half guard game I find a new dimension to it and then I go to a Bernard video and find a cool new option/options to play with. Best part: you can find a good amount of this stuff used in some of his most famous matches. Always start with Bernardo stuff if you wanna play half or get some new ideas for what you're already doing.
I loved this instructional. Bernardo is a cool guy but also really knows his stuff. No wonder his half guard is so legit.
Bernardo breaks down many positions!! Great investment

Bernardo has a lot of great tools that work well for me. He also has a great attitude and personality. Everything is super easy to digest and is easy to review when I might need a refresher.

This is a very beginner-friendly half guard instructional. Bernardo is an excellent instructor and one of the world's best half guard players. The half guard techniques taught in this instructional can work in either gi or no-gi. This instructional teaches Z-guard, single-leg half guard, coyote half guard, deep half guard, and pulling half guard. Total runtime is 2 hours and 41 minutes. I own three half guard instructionals from BJJ Fanatics. I rank them in the following order, especially for people relatively new to half guard: 1. The No Gi Half Guard by Bernardo Faria 2. New Wave Jiu Jitsu: No-Gi Half Guard by John Danaher 3. Connected Reaction: Half Guard by Paul Schreiner
