Half Guard Blueprint by Matt Arroyo
- ADCC Veteran Matt Arroyo doesn't just play one particular style of half guard, he seamlessly blends the deep half, knee shield, butterfly half and more, for a supercharged bottom game that’s equipped for anything
- Start by mastering the most crucial fundamentals of each half guard position so you can get a firm grasp on when, how, and why you’ll be using each half guard configuration
- Learn the attacks and sweeps that Arroyo has used at the highest levels of competition to submit, reverse, and transition with versatile tools that anyone can use
- Use the butterfly half guard to enter into dangerous leg entanglements like “The Hayden Lock” and attack the lower half with more efficiency than ever before
- Manage bad positions with more effectiveness with an entire section on defense and counters when things don’t quite go your way
- Breathe new life into your bottom game with dynamic instruction and world level technique from one of BJJ’s most respected and in-demand instructors
