Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:If people are passing your guard this is the product to buy
If you dont want to be passed ever again then this is your DVD. Some moves need flexibility or willingness to start to strech every day

Best guard retention instructional
Lachlan and Ariel do a great job at explaning the details of guard retention. All the positions are detailled, and the most usefull way to study is to go back at it when we have a specific problem and look for the corresponding chapter.

Retaining your guard, from anywhere.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Amazing
The different concepts related to the guard retention is clearly explained and showned. It will take me some Time to include them in my jiu-jitsu pratice. I really like all the tutorials that i purchased made by Lachlan Giles. Combined with his escapes and half guard tutorials, i think that i will have a strong foundation to improve my bjj.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:A must have for any advanced BJJ practitioner
This is one of the most unique instructionals in the sport of BJJ. I personally prefer teaching students guard retention without the use of any frames, but of course at one point you will need to improve the retention to an earlier more pro-active approach. This is were this course excels, it shows so many details on how to frame and proper postures to do so, While opening the fingers, to have a bigger surface to post, is more risky for injuring your fingers. It helps and it's a method I haven't seen elsewhere in 25+ years of BJJ. I would recommend less advanced people to start with the through the legs as they are more likely to end up there first, for the advanced student the around is probably the more interesting. Beginners should probably skip this course for now,
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Retention masterclass
