Ryan Hall’s new Deep Half Guard  is the most comprehensive instructional series ever filmed on this highly effective Guard position. Just like in his previous DVD sets with WMA, Ryan explores this position in amazing detail including entries, grips, sweeps, strategies and more. Other DVD sets made on the Deep Half start mostly with you in the position and then teach various sweeps and turnovers. The project clearly teaches that getting into the Deep Half Guard, the hand, grip and counter fighting along the way is more than half the battle. Ryan breaks down all of his most popular entries, Deep Half variations, counters and much more. The entire series is over 5 hours of instruction on 3 DVDs and is another World Martial Arts exclusive!
