• Bizarro Danaher

  This man might be the bizarro Danaher and I love him for it Expand your bag of "trick" techniques and get those gym taps left, right and centre Undoubtedly there is nuggets of gold throughout this man's plethora of instructionals and so would surely recommend

  Sean B.April 7, 2025United StatesVerified buyer16+ yrs training

• Top Half Guard

  Calling this a top half guard video undersells this video a lot. It is focused on half guard passes and especially chaining submissions off half guard passes. Almost all of these techniques would work for chaining off of any guard pass, since most guard passes from deep inside of a guard go through a half guard pass type position in the end anyway. This is a very valuable instructional. I buy most of Neil's stuff and I think this is one of the most versatile, useful ones. Pair this with his side control video is a great top game plan. But this video can stand alone for a top game plan. Really hope there is a full guard passing video next.

• Unconventional, Effective Top 1/2 Tactics

  When you grab Melanson's top 1/2 guard instructional, you'll not only gain a slew of sick top half guard techniques, but you'll also get a wealth of tactics and strategies applicable to your entire game across the board. Of all the great teachers on the Fanatics roster, Neil is #1.
