Thanks. I debated for a while whether or not to put it on, considering how much I hate when I watch other jiu jitsu vids and someone added crappy music.

My god. This is one of the best, if not the best 1/2 guard video I've seen. Awesome technique and progression through the options. Thanks so much for posting this.

All these half guard techniques can be improved by adding the lock-down to your half guard, but this is still a great and very comprehensive video.
