very useful to me
No brainer if you play half guard
awesome techniques
Studying these two courses have been a game changer for me on the mats. It's very systematized and the bottom and top games flow together. My guard passing percentage rate has exponentially increased with this system.
As a white belt, none athletic, I felt in love with half guard. this is a very clear and precise instructions that will try and add it to my half guard game. Mahalo!
I am excited to be working through this instructional. Over the past few months my half guard game has began to become one of my key guards to use. Already this instructional has started to help me improve.
This is literally Bernando Faria best gem and his legacy speaks to that of a champion inside and outside the mats!!!

Awesome techniques and strategies for half guard with the Gi.
Top information and great details for solid halfguard game!
This was a great addition to my game. As a half guard player I found a lot of great techniques and concepts that have helped level up my game really well, particularly his single leg and deep half and back and forth entry
In my opinion, this is the best course on the gi half guard that I've come across.
This is excellent - as I knew it would be. But it would have been even better if Bernardo had explained the Z guard to start with, and shown how to finish off the folding pass with a submission.
The master of the half guard teaches us his whole system and all his secrets.
Half guard bottom with utiliting the lapel. A clear and concise gameplan. Counters for each counters. Simopified and highly effective.
This instructional helped me transition into playing half guard in the gi. There are lots of setups and ways in which to deal with most situation you will encounter when playing half guard in the gi!
Great instructional for half guard, especially for jiu jitsu competitors who are a bit older. I've been using the techniques from this instructional for years. Bernardo's techniques are straightforward, easy to follow, and don't require a great deal of athleticism. Great fundamental concepts for half guard to give you a solid foundation of the position.
