What Will You Learn?
Why do I say this? Because this message is specifically intended for Jiu-Jitsu students who are looking for more than another instructional of half guard techniques…
I’m talking to grapplers who want a smarter approach – who really want to understand how to make your half guard effective on a deep level…
And quickly improve their skills without having to rely on strength, flexibility, or explosiveness.
(Because let's face it, that's just bad Jiu-Jitsu!)
It Doesn't Have To Be So Difficult...
If you’re familiar with my work, you know that I’m pretty much obsessed with breaking the most critical elements of the Jiu-Jitsu game, and passing on the principles that will give you the best, most sustainable results!
And when it comes to the half guard, it’s easy to see why there’s so much confusion...
One one hand, a lot of grapplers suffer from the misconception that that you have to be quick, have strong grips, strong legs, or be gumby flexible – not to mention know a ton of techniques – to develop a great half guard skill set.
These students usually try to solve problems in their half guard games by watching technique videos and instructionals from famous competitors who are teaching their personal favorite moves...
But this is like trying to develop a strong base in the weight room by mimicking the workouts of pro bodybuilders in Muscle & Fitness – basically, it's forcing square pegs into round holes...
As appealing as they seem, they’re far from optimal for developing a game that works best for YOU personally!
Then on the other hand, there are the self-defense Jiu-Jitsu purists who sometimes seem to bury their heads in the sand and reject modern technical innovations in this area of the game.
But here’s the critical fact to understand...
When you really understand how the half guard position works, and what to prioritize, it becomes so much simpler – and you can quickly develop skills that work equally well for “sport” or for self-defense!
And if you're a grappler who wants to learn the most efficient, effective, and low-energy approach to half guard bottom (even against faster, stronger, and more athletic opponents) – then THIS is your “golden ticket”…
Introducing my latest in-depth course, “The Pillars of Jiu-Jitsu: Half Guard Bottom”:
Here's What You Get:
Here’s why I’m so excited to share this material…
First of all, there will be no more wasting tons of time trying to copy other people's styles of half guard looking for the answers.
Instead of overwhelming you with a bunch of new techniques that may not work for your body type or style of play, I’m going to give you the keys to reverse engineer every type of half guard top style...
With "The Pillars: Half Guard Bottom" course, you'll learn:
- How to eliminate most of your technical challenges before they begin by understanding how to optimize your posture and dominate the distance between you and the top player (hint: it’s not about grips!)
- The simple but little known details that mean the difference between success and failure with fundamental movements like bridging and shrimping (including when and when not to use them!)
- How to prevent the guard pass against every primary style of half guard passing
- How to properly rebuild your posture and frames with minimal energy even when you’re pinned on bottom
- How to turn your defensive pressure on bottom into your BEST offense – sweeps and submissions will become so much easier!
Now this is the part where I say, "But wait, there's more"! :)
Because now you can stop walking off the mat feeling like you’ve been worked over by an angry mob after playing half guard bottom...
Because now you can stop walking off the mat feeling like you’ve been worked over by an angry mob after playing half guard bottom...
And you never have to worry about being overwhelmed by brain fatigue as you try to piece together endless numbers of techniques to learn and apply...
(This alone is worth its weight in gold because it means way less frustration and wasted time trying to learn by chasing “shiny objects.”)
The fact is, even the majority of upper belts buy into the “myth of more” – always succumbing to the allure of more complexity…
They tendency is to get caught up in the trap of wanting to know all the HOW’s (to do this or that technique)...
Instead of focusing on the WHAT’s (what’s most important) and WHY’s (why it works) that hold the master key to all problem-solving on the mat!
When you learn this simple but highly effective breakdown of half guard, you’ll be able to adapt your game to every type of top pressure or passing style…
And you won’t need to compensate for technical inefficiencies with physical attributes like grip or leg strength, flexibility, or explosiveness…
What you can expect is to see immediate improvements in your half guard bottom skills with way less effort...
Even against faster, stronger, and more athletic training partners!
But as always, this all new, jam-packed 5-volume course will be only be available for just a few days before I take it off the shelf...
This is not a gimmick, it’s an incentive to take action and invest in your success rather than do what most people do and sit on the fence of inaction.
