all vdeos in this series. there is a lot of info but little by little it can all be learned and applied
More than tecnics, Danaher teaches concepts. With this instrucional u can become a high skilled Half Guarder, for sure.
Thanks again for this great content
This particular tutorial has helped me tremendously. when starting out, no one likes being in bottom position, especially when you have someone heavier than you flattening you out or performing a cross face etc. But it happens and when it does, if you're constantly fearful of ending up in that position you will lose the battle. However, this video for me has not only helped me but has changed the way I think in terms of grappling. You'll find that if you know how to play half guard, many lower belts will not know how to deal with this giving you a greater advantage of winning. sometimes you may want to perform an attack to get a submission however you may fail in the transition due to being fearful of ending up in bottom position. However, if you know how to play half guard, this will give you the confidence to try as you won't be afraid to end up in bottom position because you will know how to escape. I Highly recommend this content for everyone of any level.
This instructional contains a comprehensive guide to fundamentals of half guard!
Very comprehensive, with solutions to common issues in 1/2 guard.,
I own many of Danaher’s videos. I have yet to be disappointed. Best instructor out there
Although I'm not a fan of half guard, when it's presented by John it's a whole other thing

This helped me grasp the core concepts in a very good way as a white belt . Detailed and easy to understand!
Very well rounded content and John is great with providing information clearly
good info, has given me a new game
When I first started BJJ half guard bottom was just a stalling position for me. Now I actively seek out bottom half to set up numerous sweeps and transitions. Great video series by Professor John.
my favorite instructional of all time
This pairs well with the pin escape instructional, since a lot of escapes have you end up in bottom half guard.
