A black belt under Lachlan Giles and a co-founder of the B-Team, he has built his reputation on seeing positions differently from everyone else. Now he's sharing the next chapter of the pinning system he started in the original Power Ride.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePower Ride 2.0 covers the details that make top half guard so hard to escape. You'll learn how to get the near side underhook, ride the hips, kill the bridge and put your opponent in a grey area where they can't recover guard or get out. From there, Jones shows you how to stop the octopus guard, why half guard is the answer, and how to chain the short darce, the kimura, the head and arm choke and the head and arm triangle off the same pin. This isn't just a half guard passing course, it's a complete philosophy on treating top half guard as a pin you can hold, ride and finish from.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether you compete in no-gi, train in the gi or just want a more reliable top game, top half guard serves as a home base you can come back to again and again. Jones also shows you how to handle mount when you don't have the underhook, so the system keeps working as the position changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe reason it works is simple: instead of rushing to pass, you control the position first and make your opponent carry your weight while you set up your finishes. The Quad Lemma gives you several attacks from one setup, and the live rounds in Volume 5 show you how the whole system holds up against real resistance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you've ever wondered why elite grapplers seem happy to stay in top half guard instead of rushing to pass, this course gives you the answer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLearn how to turn top half guard into a pin your opponents can't escape with Craig Jones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Exactly Do You Get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePart 1: Near Side Underhook\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNSU Intro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetting the Near Side Underhook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiding the Hips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArguments for NSU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePutting Your Opponent in a Grey Area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKilling the Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePinning Details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting Up the Head and Arm Choke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNSU Outro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePart 2: Octopus Killer and The Short Darce\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctopus Intro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStopping Octopus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Half Guard Is the Answer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Is Half Guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort Darce Intro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort Darce Finishing Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort Darce Outro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePart 3: The Quad Lemma\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad Lemma Intro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting Up the Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIslam Makhachev Half Guard Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKimura Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead and Arm Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeping Your Opponent in the Loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePart 4: Top Half Darce\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlling the Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead and Arm Triangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecuring Pin When We Get Greedy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting Up the Darce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDealing With Mount Without an Underhook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalf Guard Is Everywhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePart 5: Top Half Live Rounds\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Half Live Rounds 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Half Live Rounds 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Half Live Rounds 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craig Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50702636875874,"sku":null,"price":197.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1800\/2299\/files\/1XcCHyiAFBu5ThOdnYhXu5EX7NcYXsvFy_s0.png?v=1792296202","url":"https:\/\/bjjfanatics.com\/products\/power-ride-2-by-craig-jones","provider":"BJJ Fanatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
