It Works!
I am a big fan of Professor Melanson and have several of his instructionals. In the instructional he once again shows his unique and effective approach to submission grappling. This instructional without a doubt will improve your attacks.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Melanson is the man
You will never go wrong with any of Coach Neil’s instructionals. The thing I liked most about this one is his unconventional approaches to side control attacks you might think you already “know.” Just awesome.
Fantastic stuff
So much in this download. Countless new set ups and subs to play with Great stuff
Very good
Very good information that has quickly helped my side control game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Outstanding
A different spin on side control that is different than your typical BJJ. Great explanations and details that really make the difference. Another quality production from Neil Melanson.
Filthy spin on cross side attacks
Just some real nasty attacks as expected :) and different from some of the more traditional BJJ instructionals!
Filthy
I had to shower after watching this.
Love his stuff

Filthy Cross Body Attacks By Neil Melanson
Awesome material. Such a wealth of information.
"Uncle" Neil Melanson's Cross Body Attacks
Neil Melanson has a strong background in Catch Wrestling under Gene LeBell and being a Gene LeBell guy, he is also very good at Judo style finishing holds. Neil is a master hybrid grappler, who spent a career training top level Mixed Martial Artists. His skills are applicable to all submission grappling styles including BJJ. I strongly recommend any of Neil's instructionals and if you're looking for nasty cross body (aka side control) attacks, this one's for you.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Coach Neil is a Wizard!
I have almost all of Neil's tutorials and each and every one of them is jammed packed with clear and efficient instruction. All of which is easy to follow and systematically applicable! Plus he's funny AF! Stay Filthy!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻This is quality! Neil shows
This is quality! Neil shows attacks from many different side control positions including scarf hold. It's all put together into a formidable system. Fantastic instruction!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Filthy Finishes
Awesome side control strategies here. Many of the techniques covered will force your opponents in very difficult dilemmas and trilemmas. This leads to great disguises and catching your partners with submissions they never see coming. Neil’s details on the Kimura-Sankaku dilemma is worth the price alone. 👍�
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Filthy
I new of some attacks from side mount but my main position for attacks was in mount. Now I don’t have to rely as much on getting to mount, on top of now having a very sneaky attack through just my side mount top control.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Doesn't disappoint!
Big fan of Neil's teaching style, and this hasn't disappointed.. the texhniquuesv were explained clearly and had massively improved my game.. highly recommended!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great - absolutely reccomend
Great instructional that I have already started to implement into my game. Melanson makes things very clear, gives straight analysis of techniques that are good but maybe not as high percentage as others and keeps things engaging and entertaining. Already picked up another one of his instructionals based on how much I liked this one.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome class and technique!
Awesome class and technique! It broaden my attack technique in arsenal! Pure Go l d itself!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great
Great summary of side control techniques and submissions. Neil gets to the point and explains why he does it a certain way and always hat tipping where credit is due.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻My FAVORITE System followed by
My FAVORITE System followed by Dave Petrone’s BlackOut Hybrid. My Game is based around this. I’ve been doing No-Gi on/ off for 18 years (No Belt Ranking because we didn’t use a ranking system but I am a White Belt in Gi since I only started training in it within the last 1.5 yrs.) and blending these with the Catch heavy Hybrid system I’ve trained in keeps me competitive at 53 y/o even though I’m not as actively consistent as my Training partners are
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Unique and interesting approach to side control
Neil's techniques are very different and interesting than what you normally see. He goes over a number of triangles and interesting arm attacks. His style is a bit different from what you normally learn in BJJ, but they techniques are very effective.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻filthy cross body attacks
like all coach Melansons instructional awesome easy to follow and horrible submissions
Incredible content
I am going to go broke if this guy keeps making videos. His instructions are great and I love his brutal style. I am going to try to gain as much knowledge as I can from him.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Filthy Indeed!
Melancon knocks another one out of the park, this might be in the top 2 of all of the programs of his that I own!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excellent content
Coach Neil bringeth the filth as always.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A new contender for my favorite Neil Melanson instructional
Out of the 6 instructionals I own from Coach Neil, his arm triangle one (Off With Their Head) is my favorite... but this Filthy Cross Body Attacks instructional gives that one a run for its money. I'm probably stating the obvious when I say that offense from top side control has to be one of the most popular topics in BJJ. However, what I feel sets this instructional apart are the methods of controlling an opponent that Coach Neil teaches. Those methods might be a little more physical and hands-on that what's commonly taught, but in my opinion, that's what's needed when you're rolling with people who are stronger and more explosive than you, and just want to escape -- they don't necessarily care about proper technique or if it looks pretty. I especially like the tight waist position and turn-away sequence from this instructional. All of your favorite Coach Neil submissions are in here, such as the arm triangle, Turk choke, and switch D'arce. He even gives a couple of new pointers for the arm triangle that I found helpful. I prefer using chokes over joint locks, but Coach Neil's way of doing the spinning armbar makes me want to actually use that technique in sparring now. If you're already a fan of Coach Neil's instructionals, I recommend this one because I think it does a really good job of providing context for techniques he's shown in other instructionals and links the techniques together well.
Filthy Cross Body Attacks by Neil Melanson
Coach Neil has a method for instruction that is precise, conceptual and entertaining. The content of this video like any, Mr. Melanson puts out has fluid concepts to maintain success from the top position. His Kimura understanding comes from a great lineage, and is very scientific.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Outstanding content
Excellent instruction and very implementable techniques. This is my first instructional from Neil and I'll definitely be getting more - I love the effectiveness and brutality. Highly recommended.

Another outstanding instructional from the "Godfather of Filth"! This product is fantastic, and Neil's method of instruction is clear, concise and easy to understand. There are some unique techniques and concepts in this instructional that I will definitely be adding to my game. THANKS NEIL!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome
Another great video by Mr. Melanson. Love how he addresses typical problems with his unorthodox but simple tips!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Outstanding

Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥Clear and detailed instructions. Another
Clear and detailed instructions. Another excellent video from Neil!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Neil is the man
Loads of content and finish. Greath product.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Oui oui my grappling boi
Phenomenal stuff, have been a big fan of Neil's instructionals for a long time and he's done it again with another quality series. I'd recommend this or any other of his stuff to hardcores, flithy casuals and the like. For me personally he is one of few people that has both the breadth of knowledge of all things grappling but also has the unique ability to articulate and contextualize what is to be believed best practices in the art of man touchy man time. His style is easily implement able and doesn't require the athleticism or flexibility that other grappling games do. Plus seem like a good dude. Support one of the unsung grappling legends.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Just fantastic!
Neil does it again! Another well put together instructional, packed full of concepts, strategies and of course just filthy techniques. The step over sequence a lone is worth the money. Can't wait to see Neil's guard passing instructional when it comes out because these will merge seamlessly. If your reading this and have not purchased a Melanson instructional yet, well this is as good a place as any to start. Embrace the filth.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Neil’s best dvd
Neil definitely has some great tricks the Turk choke is $$$$
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Beautiful Brutal
If there is a new Melanson instructional, it is an instant buy. If you want to learn brutal grappling which works for bjj and MMA you want to go with Neil. This instructional is beautiful in every aspect. Technical Details, tactics and strategies. We really need Neil to release CJJ and MMA instructionals :D
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome instructional
I just finished this instructional and wow there is A LOT in here, the step over series in itself blew my mind. I was also impressed by how many entries and finishes Neil has for the Sankaku series. All in all this is a series that is dense with high level technique and tactics from one of the best in the game! Highly recommended.
