I have just received my copy of Nathan's Half Guard Tape (thanks for shipping it out so quick BTW).
This is a very good tape and there are a LOT of useable techniques on it. Nathan covers the half guard from both the top and the bottom, and basically gives you his approach, or his 'game', in both positions. I liked the emphasis on submission-oriented grappling, and found his explanations of the leglocks and armlocks very clear and useful.
This tape is mostly geared towards submission grappling, but I think that most people training with the gi or for MMA would also benefit from it. If you want to take your half guard from being just a lay-and-pray position to an active, aggressive part of your game then this is the perfect video for you.
Good Job!

I received the guard and half guard tapes two days ago.
Shipping was only 6 days from UK to Australia!
The video is clear and instruction is easy to follow.
I do judo and it works with the gi. I'm already using the "high guard" in newaza(ground sparring). It gives me more control!
I really like the info on different grips on the guard tape and switching between different grips.
Keep up the good work Nathan!
Nathan,
When is "GU02: Advanced Guard" coming out?
Thanks dude.
I plan to do a DVD on leglocks, a clinch set and then the follow up to the guard tapes. At the moment I just don't seem to get the time but I hope I can get them all done at some point this year.

Nathan,
Are you left or right handed?
Right.

I will do a bit more extensive review when I've had some more sparring experience with those moves. Btw. last practise I used a lot of those moves (without having really drilled them a lot) and it was a life saver in situations in which I would have previously been pinned or submitted in.
