Bernardo shows his battle tested half guard from different situations including going from standing to half guard... some really good points to add to my half guard game.
Very well explained and easy To follow
good
Been coming back to this instructional over the past five years and keep picking up little tips to improve my game. Used the Push Away Deep Half Setup today against a training partner 20 years younger than me...I'm in my 50s.
Very useful
Half guard is my go to guard. This instructional was very useful for figuring out the position.
Bernardo is one of the best teachers in BJJ and gives a great half guard system
Bernardo won with this. I've wanted this for a long time. Thank you. I recommend it.
There are full of very effective and useful technics in this video. 100% recommed!
Couple this with the pressure passing and you’ve got yourself a whole game
Cool video from a legend. I've always wanted to purchase one. Thank you!
As a black belt in my 40's, Bernardo's game is a godsend that will keep me rolling for years to come.

A wonderful tutorial on The Half Guard
best half guard dvd
This instructional by Professor Bernardo is great! I’m not as athletic and quick as I use to be, so I had to rely on slowing down my opponent through pressure. My Professor loves this system and its what we use a lot. Great video!
Great addition to the games, especially for less athletic/flexible competitors like me 😅
The camera angles could have been improved for better understanding
I found the content very interesting and informative. I was able to easy understand the techniques and the concepts. If you are wanting to build up your half guard game this is the instructional.
This has without a doubt improved my Half Guard game.
Some great info here on getting into half guard. As a smaller grappler I am always looking for ways to prevent bigger guys from passing my guard and these are extremely useful
