The reviews

• One of the best instructions I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot

  Unfortunately I am just now learning about this instructor in the 5th year of my training. Wish I learned his style from day 1. He is a master and his material is gold. I recommend ALL of his stuff. Hats off. Amazing content.

• Neil is one of my favorite instructors. His style fits well with me. As a middleweight I like using pressure and being a little more aggressive. I like how Neil's instructionals are focus for MMA to avoid getting punched....

• One of the best half guard instructionals, EVER

  I have watched an instructional or two in my day. This quite possibly might be the best one I've ever seen on the half guard. There is so much here to digest that I'll definitely revisit it quite a bit. There are numerous techniques in here that I will be going back to again and again. Highly reccomended.

  And yet another solid instructional! Always enjoy the nastiness that Neil puts in his instructionals.

• Half Guard

  Want to play half guard start here. I favour this over Danaher's and Bernardo's half guard instructionals. Lots of attack options in different directions and good concepts.

  This is great for not just half guard, but for scrambling and mat wrestling concepts for submission grappling. I highly recommend it.
