2017 has been an amazing year for fans of great instructional material and fans of Tom here at BJJ Fanatics with the release of three important instructional releases.  Each of these will impact not only your BJJ game within the specific context of the series, but also will impact other areas of your game and life.

Half Domination

In his "Half Domination" series, Tom DeBlass leaves no doubt that the half guard is no longer just a defensive position.  It is a position that he has worked to perfect within his game since his days as a blue belt under famed competitor and UFC veteran Ricardo Almeida.  When you're training partners include Professor Almeida, the great Renzo and Ryan Gracie, and all of the other monsters that pass through the doors of the Renzo Gracie affiliation, you've got to develop some strong positions and half guard was what the blue belt DeBlass gravitated to and eventually turned from a defensive position into a full blown offensive game plan.

You will learn all about Tom's use of frames, as well as how to utilize and also defeat a powerful knee shield.  You will learn where you should keep your head in relation to your opponent's head to make sure the sweep happens or doesn't happen depending on your perspective.  And in mind-blowing simplicity, Tom explains the importance of hip position that will bring even the most solidly based opponents crumbling to the mats.

In the video below, Tom shares some of the key principles of his wildly successful "Half Domination" instructional system with Bernardo Faria.
