Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Bottom and Top Half Guard

Top Half Guard Pass: In the first part of the instructional program, Master Marcus Vinicius Di Lucia and his son Vinny show proper positioning in top half-guard and explain in detail how passing the half guard is the connection to a better position, where you can begin setting up your attacks. They begin with showing how to pass the knee shield and gradually progress to different variations of passing depending on the opponent in bottom half-guard reacts. This part of the instructional video is great showing everything from proper pressure passing, lapel/collar control, standing passes, and multiple high percentage submission attacks.

How to do an Omaplata: The last part of the instructional program has Master Marcus Vinicius Di Lucia breaking down the omaplata submission explaining the facets of this shoulder lock. He begins this part of the instructional explaining proper control for the omaplata and how to set up the submission from different guards. After demonstrating basic set-ups, he goes into submission and sweep counter variations when the opponent defends the omaplata. 

The program also includes a few tips from two black belts that have been training with Master Marcus for several years: Scott Caan and Richard Cohen.
