What Will You Learn?
Half Guard can be seen as the last line of defense before your opponent passes the guard. 2x World Champion Leonardo Nogueira looks to provide a perspective shift by making the half guard one of your go-to positions instead of a last ditch effort. The half guard is one of the most popular positions at the highest levels of the sport. It is a position that has an ample amount of controls, sweep attacks, transitions, variations, and more!
Leo provides a masterclass on this MUST-HAVE guard across this 8-part series. The series starts off by teaching you how to use half guard to get out of some of the toughest positions in BJJ. Leo breaks down how to dismantle multiple forms of head control as well as the dreaded cross face. A major key to succeeding with half guard is fighting off your opponent’s head control attempts. Leo takes this a step further by defending the head control and transitioning directly into a wide variety of half guard based positions.
Go down the half guard rabbit hole with Nogueira’s endless half guard offense. Leo’s system allows you to outflank and out position your opponent while working towards consistent methods to secure the sweep. With the Half Guard Encyclopedia you’ll be able to work out from under your opponent’s pressure passing attempts and attack the back, or work your way to deep half open up a new frontier of offense! If you are looking to make the half guard a formidable offensive weapon instead of a last ditch effort to keep your guard, then The Half Guard Encyclopedia is for you!
