Very smooth and clear instruction. Changed my guard game.
A very good instructional to up your guard game. Craig even shows some classics used at the highest level like the Big Nog triangle.
This is a great fundamentals course, if you're on a more advanced level this might not be for you, but if you're trying to develop your closed guard, i'd recommend this.

Closed guard is under appreciate in no GI and Craig really turns it in a offensive guard and not just a position you are before switch to another. No you can attack, sweep and submit, create dilemmas for finish.

Made me realise how much i was missing out not going back to closed guard stuff
Craig out here with another ******. closed guard seems like one of those positions you get away from once no longer a beginner, especially in no gi, but Craig has brought a breath of fresh air to this foundational jiu jitsu position. I highly recommend it.
Basics explained well. Concepts around the nature of closed guard were especially helpful
