fantastic stuff very useful
Always great to watch Bernardo tutorials. Learned a lot.
After watching the video, one time, I had a tremendous roll at the gym! If you find yourself in half guard a lot, this video will fill major gaps in your half guard. That day I left the gym, feeling refreshed, having beaten some very good fighters. It was so strange how my half guard became my offense and how easily I was able to come up on top of my opponents, using the simple body movements that Bernardo teaches. I am shocked that I have not learned this information in the past. Another simple arm position Bernardo demonstrated prevented head and arm triangles - previously a move I would have to fight out from once it was applied. The biggest hole in my jujitsu game of all these years has been closed. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.
Best half guard around
Very informative for all levels.
Really enjoyed watching hoping to take half guard game to new level
Bernardo shows the traditional but still used and effective sweeps and attacks from no gi half guard.
Great instructional video. Well presented and easy to follow for all levels.
Great information on half guard no gi!
Good
Helped my half guard game tremendously!
A must for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of no gi half guard from someone with a reputation as one of the best with that position👍�
A really great instructional by someone who has an incredible understanding of the position with lots of important details that make a huge difference
Had a bunch of instructionals from different instructors over the years, what I really like about this one is Bernardo’s straightforward teaching style. It’s easy to digest and implement in your game. I come back to it all the time.
I like this tutorial. First of all Bernardo had a fun personality and explains things well. I learned a lot from this series and have been working on my knee shield technique as he explains in volume 1. I haven’t got a chance to practice everything but even on the first watch through I learned alot.
Elevated my half guard game a ton. Bernardo's simplicity to the half guard is great for this format.
