Half Guard Overview (w Jake Mackenzie)

[@Josh-zt2iq]

I was lucky to have learned from Jake for about 2 years. It is awesome to see him on your channel.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah his game is sick and such a nice guy, we had a lot of fun exchanging ideas.

[@LukaRBJJ]

Damn, this is a gold mine of tiny secret half guard info.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah he’s got all the little details

[@GoldenRyu]

The knee twist detail was fantastic! Great stuff

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks buddy you could really feel it when you were on top.

[@bxnxjmin]

i love when the mic gets muffled and the instructor turns into a robot for a half second😂 cracks me up 4:19

[@alexrodriguez8767]

I purchased this series and I highly recommend it to any smaller competitors. I've only grasped about 20% of the system and it's a life saver going against the bigger competitors.

[@michaelbutler5829]

Wow!!!! I wish I could train with Jake for a week or two!!! Jake come to Az!!!

[@MarshallHallenbeck]

"And I'll edit that out" - doesn't edit it out

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Lmao yeah sometimes I miss those

[@MarshallHallenbeck]

@@JonThomasBJJ lol I just thought it was funny :)

[@sleeplessdev7204]

Sometimes it's nice to see real life shine through the content. Reminds me that there's a lot of work that goes into these things behind the scenes

Thanks Jake for the seminar last week.

[@jordanburton4147]

Rich content. How he uses his bottom hook initially to start the kneetwist I liked a lot. Different from Leite (the "coyote" hook or the top emphasized on the knee torque). The knee bump to get both hands on the mat was a big deal as well. It provides a set-up for the reverse half guard - which for me until this was more opportunistic to deal with the back step. Great content. Helped a great deal.

[@holisticdan23]

Very concise valuable instruction

[@jeromelansang2168]

Thank you jake. You addressed here why I’m always getting mounted or cross faced when I go deep half. Went to jakes seminar and learned fishnet and it was amazing. Just brought your instructional in BJJ fanatics.

[@philpoma2055]

Love Jake’s game. So many helpful details! Thanks for putting this out.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah there is so much depth in every position, happy you found the video helpful

[@eatlaughandstupid4430]

Would you mind showing the last bump?

[@oldschoolfuture999]

Amazing details. Been following Jake since early 2000s. Beast

[@EricPaumerat]

[@kevinmcneil1998]

Unbelievable, just bought his half guard on Jiujitsux and then this comes out.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah I haven’t watched the whole series on jiu jitsu x but I’m sure it’s amazing quality

[@chasMMA]

I just bought Jake Machenzie's half guard instructional he has on jiujitsux, and I am very pleased with the purchase and this video is a wealth of knowledge in itself.

[@LateKurkku]

Great information even for me whose main guard is half and is that Ryan Hall throwing spinning shit on the background lol

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Hahaha yeah it is

[@MejiaComedy]

Great details and efficient instruction. Thanks as always!

[@hlopez3975]

lol I’ll cut that out. Good way to open it. Great video as per usual

[@rivelinolopes823]

É incrível os detalhes da meia guarda. Parabéns pela a aula.

[@RJwarriorpoet]

Hit all these positions in training tonight. Almost blurted out, Thanks KZbin!, while rolling.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Happy to hear it buddy! Jakes game is top notch

[@lucasgalbusera3373]

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks Lucas, can’t wait to have you here again buddy!

[@snappiegappie]

Thanks! great details!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks happy you enjoyed it!

[@fresh2def973]

Jake's so nice with the half guard that he almost makes me want to play it. Almost...

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah if you play it well it’s actually a pretty calm position to play in.

[@bp84160]

Great video 🤙

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks really appreciate it!

[@jezzlaffy]

We’re gonna edit that out 😜 Love it!! 😂😂

[@abrahamlincoln8542]

Out of all the half guard players in the world, I am definitely one of them.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yea you are Abe

[@phredbookley183]

At around 9:24 what other options are there other than the sweep? Also, is there a name for this Figure Four Away position? Fascinating stuff.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

I think if they turn in and fight too much there you could go straight to the back.

[@phredbookley183]

@@JonThomasBJJ hmm. Thank you for this.

[@andrewsullivan1523]

Jake how do you like your hyperfly gi LOL do you own the ultralight

[@RodrigoVanilla93]

Any risk of the knee bar in that reverse half position the way Jake's legs are configured?

[@JonThomasBJJ]

I think it’s pretty hard to swing back for that with how tight he controls my hips.

[@benjitsu85]

Is this series effective no gi

[@Thefourgirls94a]

'and i'm going to edit that out' (doesn't edit it out).

[@gymlaxbro]

Solid fart @ 4:20! Osss x2 🤙🏻

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Lmao I think it was the mic scraping the gi, but who knows 😂

[@bradford5681]

You didn't edit it out 😅. Just kidding. Thanks for the lesson!

[@melissabritezcosta]

👌🏽🔥

[@nicksalvatore5717]

[@JonThomasBJJ]

[@Pashhhh456a]
