Highly recommended been helping me out with my armbar game
Still working through it but good so far.
Theirs a reason Katel Pravec is called the Silver Fox. The first time I saw the Fox was on the Tristan gym channel. I have love his tips and tricks ever since. Though Karl shares a wealth of information on his own YouTube channel there is a lot more detail in his paid instructional that you will not find there. If you are like me the Fox has been giving me a solid preview of what he has to for years. If you are wondering if it is worth picking up his instructionals , the answer is YES!
Awesome information
covers concepts that had a huge influence on my armbar technique. I apply his details to all my armbars and not just the armbars covered in the video. This is one of the videos I revisit periodically to re-review
Love it
great
Great learned a lot
Pravek armbars use better mechanical principals.
I enjoy this guy's stuff, really worth the time to learn his details, you'll love it ******* your bros up with it
Great tutorial to clean up your technique and to prevent escapes. The more technically sound you are, the better you perform against higher ranks. I have purchased other videos from Master Pravec and watched some of his pupils and they all are very sound in their techniques. He has a great style of instruction that works well with me.
Loved it - love Silverfox - but rather than showing each move 12 times, cut it in half and explore MORE positions
This instructional has made my armbar game more creative. Lots of great details and techniques as well, if you want to be good at armbaring, this instructional is a must have.
Great armbar instructional for beginners to intermediate
A much clearer understanding after studying this instructional
he goes into great detail on each technique.
Up your armbar game!
Professor Pravec has to be one of the most technical instructors yet. Brilliant instructional with amazing detail. Strangely enough what fascinates me is when professor Pravec is teaching, everything he does is so smooth and precise. His transitions are like silk and just reinforces the notion of technique first over everything. Great instructional to show how to keep attacking from various positions with minimal brute strength. This is just amazing! Buy it for sure!
great detail on the fundamentals!
Awesome
Karel's Instructional methods are top notch
Awesome stuff!
another great instructional by Karel.
Change my arm bar game very good instructional
I have followed Silver Fox's YouTube channel for a while, but I'm glad to have found this instructional. A very clear and complete guide to armbar entries/attacks, with great advice from a guy who's as knowledgeable as they come.
Good stuff with plenty of details
great instructional
One of the most conceptual teachers out there. Loved every single instructional he did. Just perfect.
All the details on the different grips and how to break the posture really helped my game.
I follow Karel Silver Fox Pravec on YouTube since her videos with Firas Zahabi and His Lockdown Series. Karel is very technical and conceptual. All his tutorials are game changers.
This is hard to master.
This instructional was great. I enjoyed all parts of it and have been able to get armbar positions more frequently during my live rolls. Personally the lesson on armbars from the top was my favorite. This instructional was great because a lot of the moves are able to be practiced on a grappling *****.
It changed the whole way I understand armbars. Karel is a great instructor and the lessons are extremelly rich in details. If you really like bjj, watch it today!
Help you understand different ways to finish armbar from different positions
This video with change your thinking on how to finish people with an Armbar.
Professor Karel Pravec shows how to identify circumstances and guiding into situations to control and submit your opponent via the armbar. Key details on point included!
A very in depth video with lots of great details for attacks.
Great instructional
Good instuctional. I like his flow style of bjj.
Great instructional. Fox has a very unique flow style jujitsu and this helped my game.
Great instructor and great video with lots of focus on key small details that make a huge difference. All of Karels videos are fantastic and have helped improves my game.
I love how each of Karel Pravec’s series is loaded with content but easily accessible. I think in particular this armbar series is a perfect companion not only for his triangle series but also for Danaher’s pin escapes.
