What Will You Learn?

Why are older grapplers so drawn to Half Guard? As Professor John Danaher explains, it all comes down to connection: half guard bonds your entire body to half of your opponent’s, creating levers and off-balances that work regardless of strength or speed. When you understand these mechanics, Half Guard becomes a position of control and opportunity.

Systematic, In-Depth Approach

This 8-volume masterclass dives deeper into half guard defense and offense than ever before, with over eight hours of content covering every nuance—elbow escapes, underhook vs. overhook systems, tight waist control, roll-through sweeps, back takes, lapel single legs, knee levers, and counterattacks.

Why Half Guard Matters

• Connection-Driven: Leverage the physics of body connection to neutralize bigger, stronger opponents.
• Sequence-Based: Follow systematic chains of escapes and counters rather than relying on raw athleticism.
• Top & Bottom: Understand why half guard is a winning position from both sides of the equation.
