Awesome System
I feel like I was already developing into this system naturally. It is such a relief to see someone high level that has already worked out the system so that I can accelerate my game and learning curve.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Diamond Concept: The Diamond Guard Frame, Shield, Elegant, Pedal
Xande Ribeiro shares his signature guard recovery/retention. 4 steps. They work. You just have to identify which step is the next andcif you have to step backwards or forwards first. Highly recommend!

Xanda. That's nothing more to say. This instructional is a must have.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Guard Retention
Excellent video and concept that has helped to improve my guard in a short time. Xande is known for having an impenetrable guard, and in this video he explains the concept.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Excellent!
Excellent!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Good defensive retention system for half guard
This instructional wasn't quite what I was expecting. I saw the BJJ Fanatics sample with Bernardo on YT and I had been working on my guard retention and wanted to check it out because I love concept based instructionals. This instructional is guard retention and he does have concepts to his retention (diamond, elegant, shield, peddle). But about 90% of the instructional is retention from bottom Half Guard. My biggest problem with retention is getting people into my half guard to begin with :rofl:. If you are looking for bottom Half Guard retention than I highly recommend this instructional. If like me you need more general retention help (people trying to go around, using angles, etc.) I'd look elsewhere. As John Danaher has explained Half Guard passing is its own type of passing system very different than passing that tries to avoid guards.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Game changer
Great system for guard retention that doesn’t rely on a high level of flexibility, just good structure. Definitely recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Some really easy to remember
Some really easy to remember concepts. Definitely Worth watching a few times!

Philosophy, Concepts, and Techniques
Xande has provided a great approach for retaining guard which promotes movements you may be new to or need to refine. You’re going to need this instructional if you want to bump up your defense game. Expect nothing but the best from one of best.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Absolutely changed my guard.
Implementing Xande's Diamond Concept had an immediate impact on my ability to get out of situations where my opponent was using heavy pressure and my understanding of guard retention. He teaches using a concept and principles approach that can be applied to limitless situations rather than teaching techniques that are only applicable in a specific scenario. I recommend this for any belt level.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:A COMPLETE guide to improve your guard.
Several detailed explanations about how to use the diamond guard in every possible situation. If you are struggling with guard retention and reguard from side contron and half guard, you have to buy this.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:This has become fundamental in my guard retention!!
I cannot recommend this instructional enough! I was able to immediately utilize the concepts in order to keep people from pressure passing me! The best part is that the instructional does not have a ton of content that can overwhelm you. Xande has just a few principals that apply to almost every situation. Get this instructional today!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Excellent!
Utter brilliance!
I highly recommend this instructional.
I highly recommend this instructional. It is very simple but effective guard retention. You don’t need to learn fancy inversions movements. If you’re someone with poor flexibility or don’t want neck issues that come from inversions then this is for you. Xande’s guard was unpassable for this very reason.
Easy Guard to perform
Very educacional video for an effective and easy guard to perform. Highly recommended
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:up your game with this video
Great instructional!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:It works!
Xande explains a simple rule to reestablish your guard and to make it hard for your opponents to pass your guard. He is a very good teacher because he shows exactly in what direction your pressure has to go. I tried it and it works!
Simple and Effective
This instructional shows some very effective guard retention techniques that really stuck with me.
