This video has been doing the rounds on many fight forums, and is the advert for the Jeff Glover’s deep half guard instructional. It’s probably one of the funniest instructional adverts I’ve seen.
I am looking forward to seeing this myself, as I am a big fan of the deep half guard, after studying Saulo Ribiero’s DVD set, and also Jeff Monson’s excellent demonstration of it on YouTube. To me, the deep half guard can be as simple or complicated as you would like it to be. There is a clip on YouTube of Felipe Costa showing a deep half guard sweep/back take using the gi lapels. Very impressive but it’s not something I could pull off!
UFC 98 last weekend saw Lyoto Machida KO Rashad Evans to be crowned UFC light-heavyweight champion. I have been a fan of Lyoto for a while now, and it’s good to see someone that is trained in a traditional martial arts (Shotokan Karate) do so well in mixed martial arts.
Here is Lyoto Machida’s walk in t-shirt for UFC 98 for his fight against Rashad Evans for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title.
