Top half guard is one of the most misunderstood positions in grappling, and few people have turned it into a true pin better than Craig Jones.
- Craig Jones is a two-time ADCC silver medalist, a black belt under Lachlan Giles and a co-founder of the B-Team, known for breaking down positions in ways nobody else does.
- In Power Ride 2.0, Jones breaks down his top half guard pinning system: the near side underhook, shutting down the octopus guard, the Quad Lemma setups, and the short darce and head and arm finishes.
- This isn't just a half guard passing course, it's a complete philosophy on treating top half guard as a pin you can hold, ride and finish from.
