I see only 1 or MAYBE 2 of you that have actually trained in MMA speaking about the effectiveness of the half guard in mma. Most of you guys have NEVER trained MMA so I don't know why you want to make a comment about it, plus I se a number of you that aren't even blue belts in bjj, so kindly fuck off and let the big boys talk ok?
I don't know if you're including me in this statement, but...

I don't train MMA, but when you've got clear examples of it being pulled off in MMA...what more is there to say?

I never said it was easy, or the preferred way to play, but I said that it can be done--and the proof speaks for itself.

If that wasn't your intention, never mind.
