Providing a unique experience, the program goes beyond technique, with details, concepts and fundamentals.
Learn the secrets and variations of the half-guard from the pioneer, Roberto Gordo. This program teaches, in a thorough manner, the essential concepts for maintaining the position, as well as sweeps and submissions applied according to the most common reactions.
Roberto “Gordo” Corrêa Lima became famous for popularizing the half-guard -- formerly considered to be a mere transition -- in the mid-nineties. A champion of multiple editions of the Worlds, Brazilian Nationals and Pan, Gordo is among the greatest BJJ competitors of that decade.
Gordo introduces himself and explains what are the key concepts you will need in order to use the half-guard effectively.
Gordo teaches how to recover the angle and the protection necessary to defend the half-guard, and demonstrates the first technique -- going to the back from the half-guard.
One of the most effective ways to cancel the half-guard is to wrap the underhooked arm. In this lesson, Gordo explains how you can take advantage of this to find the ideal angle for sweeping your opponent.
