The Buchecha Half Guard by Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida

Marcus Buchecha Halfguard

good content and details for various situations.

Buchecha should make more videos.

Buchecha really should make more videos. I feel like he’s good at sharing and explaining valuable technique that will work for most people not just elite athletes. Lots of technique based on basic movements and fundamentals at least at the academies I’ve trained at. Although I like some of the longer videos Out there I prefer shorter videos that I can revisit a long time later and don’t feel like I have to start over completely.

AWESOME! WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE TO LEARN FROM THE BEST, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CHANCE! I'VE USED SEVERAL OF THE TECHNIQUES IN LIVE ROLLING DURING CLASS, AND HAVE ACTUALLY HIT A COUPLE OF THE SWEEPS ON HIGHER BELTS! I USED TO BE A GET TO MOUNT, SIDE CONTROL TYPE OF GUY, BECAUSE I WAS NEVER COMFORTABLE IN GUARD OR HALF GUARD, BUT AFTER WATCHING BUCHECHA'S TECHNIQUES IN THE VIDEOS, I ACTUALLY LOOK FOR THE HALF GUARD POSITION MORE WHILE ROLLING, BECAUSE I'M COMFORTABLE AS A BLUE BELT WHILE HAVING HIGHER BELTS IN MY HALF GUARD!
