Top Half Guard
Roberto “Gordo” Correa gives, in this program, a small sample of his arsenal of half-guard techniques from the top. It’s interesting to see how he, well known for the half-guard from the bottom, is able to adapt and anticipate opponents’ moves, making a guard pass or submission look simple. This collection of lessons is a complete seminar on present-day half-guard theory by the man who created the position.
