Thanks for watching, we only scratched the surface of what's possible with half guard, hopefully we can make another video based off your questions and feedback

[@huxco]

If you could present your thoughts on submissions from bottom or the inverted half guard, I would appreciate.

[@cameronianwells1839]

I hope such a future video is edited as expertly as this one. Will be trying out the content at training in the next few weeks.

[@jerryh2954]

This video filled in many holes in my half guard game. I am going to study this for some time. Thank you!

[@RemcoBakker548]

was this video ever made?:-)

[@mattmgarza]

This is the best-edited jiu jitsu video I've ever seen

[@dannynguyen7076]

Probably the best Half Guard video out there. Phenomenal.

[@s1r155]

I recently bought an instructional on half guard but I find this more informative and easy to follow. Thanks for posting.

[@Dz3no2]

The two sweep have saved me dozens of times against bigger guys! Thank you Professor Adem! 👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@ndv5502]

3 years later and I still regularly watch this video haha

[@seabeebillm]

As an older, bigger guy who came to BJJ from Judo and wrestling, I’ve really started to embrace half guard...this is pure gold Professor, thank you!

[@AndreCruzXampa]

4 years later I come here over and over again.

[@gabrielr4511]

Holy crap I watch a ton of instructionals, and the way you explain the technique in this video is by far some of the best teaching of bjj I've seen in a long time. The way you explain and teach the concepts makes it super easy to digest and understand. I feel a lot of black belts aren't teaching on this level.

[@ademredzovic9855]

Thank you Gabriel!

[@vicarious8989]

Completely agree. I own a ton of half guard instructionals and this shows details like no other

[@alecm5982]

The Half Guard God's have answered all my prayers 🙏

[@TheBobbysPerspective]

I have watched this video a hundred times, and it just keeps on getting better.

[@dandee7045]

This is the greatest KZbin half-guard tutorial I've seen, and I've seen a lot. I'm a blue belt and have fallen in love with the half guard. It just feels like such a great sweeping guard. I'm a little guy and slipping under the big guys works so well. I love it also because it seems so easy to chain attacks and no matter what they do. Once I get up on that elbow, with the underhook, it's over. I still struggle with getting flattened but this video will help.

[@petarbjelogrlic4771]

This is one of the best bjj videos I ever saw! Great explanation!

[@groundcontrolacademyalbert1269]

Opening your elbow to take the pressure off has been absolute gold for a white belt like me. Thank you for posting this!

[@x426x]

As a rookie white belt I’ve found that I’m more comfortable with half guard. This is the best and most informative video I’ve seen. Thank you!!

[@daxthedza]

Needed this. My mind shuts down when I’m in bottom half-guard. I just get to the underhook, then my mind goes blank. Great lessons and explanations. Thank you, Professor

[@Joe-ui3nr]

Unbelievable. Think I'll watch this another 100 times. Gold. Thank you, Professor!

[@xpansionteam1537]

Bloody genius I'm gonna have to watch this another 100 times to take it all in many thanks

[@AndreCruzXampa]

for sure, the best information I ve heard about half guard. adem doesn't talk about positions, he talks about concepts. tks

[@sufjitsui1131]

I used to be scared of halfgaurd but for the last year I'm starting to enjoy being in halfgaurd so this is a big help for my game ossss

[@jimsta45]

[@CTucker0065]

The absolute best 🙏

[@anthonybruno6439]

I enjoy a lot your way of giving principles by the examples wich allow students to understand by himself why he have to make some movements in a logical order. All the philosophy of the half guard (and more) you explain and detail in this video are very useful and enjoyable. Thanks for the sharing.

[@danielcalvi500]

Thank you so much - Amazing.

[@benfernandes8]

During my recent rolls when ending up in half guard, 7:39 is quite familiar! thanks for your video

[@TommyGunner86]

wow this is great content. I have been really enjoying knee shield half guard recently as a defensive move but have been struggling to find a way successfully out of it. some great tips around distance and underhooks which i never really considered. going to practice this for sure!

[@Stuygym]

Awesome!

[@joannamala2181]

Thanks broooo

[@JaxMax-kq1qk]

Perfect professor ooosss

[@guam58]

Professor when you have coyote control and partner has sleeve and collar control can you still do a modified John Wayne sweep.

[@barryirlandi4217]

Nice

[@josephliebl8671]

Those dog fight tips were great. always get stuck there

[@Will1SAG]

Hi Adem, Thanks for the techniques. I've always been told not to do the "baseball slide" on the same side where the opponent has your neck. Instead, go to the side where they are going under your arm. What are your thoughts on this? Hope it's clear!

[@andrewkim6037]

Great video, thank you Coach Adem for sharing your knowledge. Is half guard good for thin and lanky players? Or would it be better to focus on something else considering my body type?

[@calebmouth]

Andrew Kim you find your game for yourself not by asking if it might work for you. I been doing half guard since i had no stripes on my white belt

[@ademredzovic9855]

I believe you will be able to play half guard at a high level with your body type

[@andrewkim6037]

Adem Redzovic Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated.

[@carltoncarlton8924]

I love you

[@hoteyesng]

When I started bjj I was just constantly getting smashed, so I decided might as well learn half guard. Almost two years later, I love getting smashed, I just let people smash me in half guard and sweep em, take their back, wrestle up to a point people don't even get close anymore lol

[@markzachenberg2797]

too bad Prof. Clark couldn't chime in.

[@tyhatfield7156]

The only thing, but there’s just a couple things because I play really big feel and defensive Jujitsu from my wrestling and everything that I do with Jujitsu…. see your thing is he’s not gonna be necessarily pressuring you when he said that he would be going for that poster I would because I want to take that arm away from you and that turns into that position with what you’re saying but by pushing into, that’s not gonna do anything, you’re too close to me that’s easy for you to throw me over the top and I haven’t got to that point, but you’re probably gonna just throw them over the top but if he would’ve grabbed your arm in the first place, he would’ve controlled that because he said that forward he would’ve been in the large hip throw from referees position. I’m definitely not poo poo anything I’m just telling you what I think and I appreciate you and care about everything you do Buddy but I’m just telling you what I think and so that’s where I’m coming from and I think you’re doing awesome love everything that you were talking about.

[@jdmnismo7]

Again but no gi

[@ricardio7325]

Good but kind of boring
