Connected reaction second guard

Great
Completely changed the way I approach being in bottom side control, Paul doesn't miss.
Bottom side ctrl escapes
My favorite bottom side ctrl esc instructional. Systematic, detailed approach, highly recommended.
covers if x reacts then y in solid way by funneling the reaction
Secondary guard position limits the way my oponent reacts. Especially, utilizing Marcelo frame in a tool chain will bring strong escape power. With good game plan for each situation, the technique introduced here works fantastic I experienced.

Side Control Bottom Recovery Gameplan
Professor P. S. offers the idea of the second guard in terms of bringing your legs into play in union with your whole body and pin your opponent from side control bottom. It actually puts a whole new toolkit to the game for me. It is still quite hard to escape the late stages of side control but a way easier with this concepts and techniques. Everyone should have this!!!
Excellent
For the blue belt that is perpetually stuck in side control... the most valuable instructional Ive purchased so far.
Comprehensive and Detailed
A true Masterclass. Must have!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗game changing
Because of this I am SO CALM on bottom!! I've watched this dvd several times and it's so helpful everytime, when I train people are afraid to take side control on me, I am so safe and able to pick do I want to reguard, sweep etc... so far so good, watching again today to learn even more! HIGHLY RECOMEND!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great bottom side defense class
Paul Schreiner is one of the best grappling instructors in the world. He did a great job going through bottom side defenses in this video. Very clear explanation of the basic ideas and how to think about counters. This video provides a pretty complete system for bottom side defense and reversals.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great
Highly recommended.
The only instructional that helped me
As I purchased this DVD I already saw the whole pin escapes dvd by john danaher, but I had huge problems escaping from side control though. I am 197 cm (6'5" to 6'6") so all of my opponents are smaller than me. The pin is extremely tight by default when your opponent is smaller and it's really hard to get my frames to inside positions. This is the only thing that helped my solve my struggle with this position. Now I control my opponents and hold them down thogh they are pinning me. I wait for openings and escape. I was really frustrated and almost hopeless until I found this video course. Thanks Paul Schreiner!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great if you're just getting started
If you sepnd a lot of time in side control this is a must have
great
great
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Really make escaping the side control more available
Escaping the sidecontrol is one of the hardest subjects to get done. Especially when your opponent forces the pin over all other techniques. The idea of the second guard in terms of bringing your legs into play in union with your whole body and pin your opponent from side control bottom is actually bringing a whole new toolkit into the game for me. It is still quite hard to escape the late stages of side control but nevertheless a way easier. Everyone should have the second guard game in their arsenal!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Details
The details Paul presents for escaping side control are better than what John Danaher presented in his GFF series. It obviously doesn't cover as many positions though.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Details
I think the details in this instructional were better and more concise than the ones in John Danaher's GFF Escape instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The title is the key
Paul teach an innovative system to be active in an usually passive position. I.e.: being dangerous when not expected
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Adds another layer of defence
Everyone can learn something from this. Covers everything from defensive posture to escapes and counter attacks with Paul's usual mastery of concepts and technical details. S I started seeing the benefits very quickly. Highly recommended.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Different Approach
I highly recommend this instructional, as it contains information you won’t find anywhere else. Paul Schreiner is Marcelo Garcia’s main instructor, and it shows in the precise way he teaches his concepts. The elbow push escape alone is worth the price, and is a demonstration of MG unique and efficient style of Jiu-Jitsu.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Key side control concepts
Paul Schreiner is one of the best teachers in the game. I'd recommend this instructional for later white belts+ who are looking to hone their side control survival and escape skills.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A whole lot of info
A whole lot of info for beginners to advanced. Very good in depth knowledge being passed on.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Solid
Nice addition to side control. Goes well as add on to the MG series.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Paul is an encylopedia of jiu jitsu knowledge
If you are a serious about your study of Jiu-Jitsu, I can only recommend Paul's instructional videos. The depth of his knowledge and his capacity to share it clearly makes him in my opinion one of the best instructors around.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Paul is an encyclopedia of Jiu Jitsu knowledge
Great instructional from Paul. I can only recommend any serious practitioners to check out the Paul's video's. He has an incredible depth of knowledge and has the teaching skills needed to share it - useless to say that this is a rare combination to find.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructional video!
Great instructional video!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Paul Delivers Again!
Another great instructional from Paul and one of my top 3 instructors on BJJ Fanatics. Like Danaher Paul is a black belt's black belt instructor
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great techniques!
I bought this video after watching the John Danaher escape series. I wanted to work on guard retention at the various stages of passing. This video has been incredibly helpful in providing escape options from some tricky scenarios as well as framing techniques for keeping your arms safe and in the game. Definitely a great video if you want to take your prevention and escapes to the next level. Lots of reversals as well.
