I have a bunch of body lock instructions, but only Shawn Williams takes the time to cover fundamentals like sagging, picking the knee up to counter sumi gaeshi, pummeling, and guillotine escapes. It's that attention to detail which characterizes all of his instructionals, and makes them true master classes. That being said, Williams has trouble just showing a move without explaining every relevant detail -many instructors hold off until the basics of the move have been shown-and that kind of informational overload can make it a bit hard to grasp the move as its being taught. But if the brilliant professor is a bit idiosyncratic then the student just needs to adapt, because this instructional is pure gold.
So much info, more than just a body lock pass. Defs worth the purchase.
One of the best instructionals I've watched
It explains so you progress by not missing steps.
There’s a lot of great, practical passing information on this project, but the highlight is the section introducing you to the use of the often overlooked near side underhook
Great instructional!
good
Excellent information. presented in an easy to understand and implement manner
a comprehensive overview of the body lock from start to finish from a different perspective as compared to Gordons body lock instructional
Sean provides an overview of there body lock in incredible detail!
Very detailed instructional. It complements Giles' Bodylock instructional.
Fantasic guard passing system that covers hot topics like tripoding and the near side underhook. This is a must buy for anyone who wants to understand the latest meta in guard passing
I love all the different situations and details he goes through, it really helped close up some holes in my game that I hadn't seen before. I absolutely recommend this for anyone who wants to improve their bodylock, and also other options that pair well with the bodylock.
Another great instructional from Shawn Williams
Excellent as always
Shawn Williams is a brilliant instructor - coming up with Danaher under Renzo. His skill in instruction really shows through in his instructionals. I have purchased all of them, and I think this may be his best. A masterclass in how to pass using the body lock.
Shawn once again provides exceptional details about passing a seated opponent. This set of videos is way more than just the bodylock pass. Shawn graciously goes through multiple ways to pass the butterfly guard and builds into the bodylock. This is guaranteed to up your passing game without question.
Can’t decide if this one or lachlan one is the absolutely best instructional on body lock. Amazing contents. Just pick it
I’ve watched all of the bodylock passing DVDs. This one is honestly the best one for my style. I’m a black belt but was a student of Shawn’s through purple belt and I honestly miss his teaching style. I just wish he continue to put out more materials because his concepts, explanation is the best I’ve seen.
Helped revolutionize my body lock game
Shawn is detailed, but concise. I was expecting a pure bodylock instructional, but this is so much more. Shawn goes over a number of other passes as well and shows numerous ways to pass the butterfly and half butterfly guards. There is a lot of unique info I haven't seen anywhere else.
Body lock pass has always been one of my favorite guard passes, Shawn shows a bunch of new game changing details to my passing game!
Shawn clearly explains the big concepts as well as the details of an incredibly powerful passing approach, the body lock. Keep em coming, Professor!
