big fatso - "My half guard DVDs are Coming soon"
-Jeff Glover in 2007
First time I have ever agreed with big fatso.
People have been waiting ages for these vids...but it looks like it's going to be an awesome set.
asscobra - I thought Eddie Bravo invented the half guard
lol!
i bet it's filmed in 3D.
that's funny and all, but how about some actual demonstration of stuff to expect on the DVDs?? No way I would buy a DVD based off of that advertisement...even though I bet it is a fine instructional.
Good thing this came out before smell-o-vision
The Deep Half-Guard isn't just a short guy position. I'm almost 6'4" and have more success with deep half than traditional half. My lankiness seems to help the pendulum movement to get underneath and stretch them out.
Glover is the master of this position. I can't wait to watch this DVD.

I am really glad to hear this but where do you hide your arms then?? You arms must be so long at 6'4". I am 5'11 1/2" and that is always this issue for me. My arms are very long for my body.
I usually play under one leg versus both.
E.g., I get my right shoulder arm under their right leg and grab their knee with my right hand. I'll hide my left hand under their right knee if the kimura seems possible. Otherwise I just wrap around their thigh. From here I just pendulum my legs both and forth until I can sweep or take the back.
I'm 6'4", too, and use this all the time. I do the same thing as Ryan Thatcher, hide the arm under the leg.
rolijuju - Do any tall guys use the deep half. I see it works great for shorter guys. Thanks.
your a BB and have no concept of the deep 1/2 guard?
BJJ Brown Belt and Deep 1/2 guard wizard Jake Mackenzie has several of his latest matches on Youtube. He is a longer guy that has figured out this game.

im a glover fan. i attended one his seminars a couple years ago. i still play wut he show us. i like watching him roll. BUT for some reason i have a gut feeling this DVD will turn out as more hype and just be an "OK" DVD. was going pre order but think i'll wait for some reviews.
i hope im wrong!!!!

god damn.
I'd rather have 5% ape and 95% Glover. The preview video got me really intrigued about chimpanzee jiu jitsu (which claims only 5% Glover techniques). I mean, the strength and leverage of those chimps is fantastic compared to a normal 100% Glover. We need to see both.
cool
mad tiger -Clearly he said he's seen it and knows that it works for the vertically challenged. To say he has no concept while passive aggresively questioning his legitimacy is pretty shitty. Dick.rolijuju - Do any tall guys use the deep half. I see it works great for shorter guys. Thanks.
