Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:I first heard of Bernardo
I first heard of Bernardo when I went to one of his seminars Texas. Unbelievably nice guy, extremely patient and willing to share his knowledge. This is my third video by him and I am very pleased with the quality of instruction and the quality of the video.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Excellent break down of Bernardos
Excellent break down of Bernardos 1/2 guard game, very well laid out and easy to follow. This is my favourite tutorial I’ve picked up from this website so far.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:One of the best options for older grapplers that love half guard.
I love doing grappling (don´t like to call it NO Gi haha) and I have doing this kind of half guard with some succes but I got this DVD when Bernardo gave away one of his DVDS and really loved it because without the gi some guys are hard to keep with and honestly some of the new guards are not something I like very much. Most of this work can be done with the Gi also. Thank you Bernardo !
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:I really like it
Let me start with this: Bernardo Faria is my favourite BJJ player/instructor in his way of fighting and as a human being! I love how happy and energetic he always is! I went through this course step by step, and this was exactly what i was looking for. The way he instructs along with the context of the positions makes it really valluable for me. So it is not only the technique , but when to use it, and also when not. I caught myself being in the half guard A LOT and with this course I know for sure I know how to make my opponent's life miserable from now on. I thank you dearly sir Faria! Stay safe and healthy!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Amazing
Amazing
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great info!
Bernardo really knows his stuff. Breaks it down so well and his techniques really work
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Clear and Detailed Game-Changer
If I don't hit these on my training partner when this quarantine ends it'll be entirely my fault. Bernardo takes us through it without skimping on the details. Generous as well that it's free. Thank you and ouss!
Response from BJJ FanaticsOSSSSGreat stuff
Some really great stuff on here. Love the concept of setting up half from the take down
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:The first BJJ Instructional that I have purchased
And I must say that I'm very happy with the product. Bernardo uses the half-guard from the right side.I used VCL player and adjusted settings to mirror image and by doing that I was able to see the moves that he does from the left side, which is the side I prefer. I also learned them with a partner or my trainer in Cuba, which was an added plus. Like in anything, learning on your own by shadow bjjing or without a partner for this kind of tutorial won't be optimal. Yes, you'll be gain more knowledge and you can practice without a partner but the real benefit of this will come out if you have a real partner who knows bjj and just troubleshoot everything that is presented in the tutorial. I spent 16-18 hours trouble shooting with my trainer and afterwards my half-guard was on a completely different level where I could sweep, submit and get up. Meanwhile, before this DVD I would just lay down and get smashed. I don't think I would've been able to get better without a partner though. But everybody is different.
Response from BJJ FanaticsNice! Keep up the good work!Half Guard
Was able to get this through an incredible promotion by Bernardo for customers that couldnt train due to Coronavirus shutting down schools. Bernardo and BJJ Fanatics r incredible for making this possible.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Just awesome
It gives a very detailed overview over the nogi half guard game from Bernardo faria. Everything is explained in a very detailed way so that you can practice it step by step with a Partner (as soon as this Virus Crisis is over) I would give 10/5 if I could because this fits my game very well and i can recommend everyone who wants some new Input and interpretations on the nogi halfguard game this DVD
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:excellent for an older grappler
excellent for an older grappler as my self (62 y/o)

Response from BJJ Fanatics:+1::skin-tone-3::wink:Great Video on Half guard
