great instructional !
Firas zahabi is unlike anyone when breaking thing down he give you the reason your doing certain thing. He explain that if this occurs you do this, if this happens you do this. Giving you a never ending answers so your never lost
Excellent instruction, clear and straight to the point.
Great work!
Not bad the videos were not long and on point.
This is a methodical instructional about the goal and concepts surrounding guard retention. Firas is an amazing instructor.
At first I was concerned that the instructional had small, short clips. But was pleased on the precise explanation and ease of instruction. I will be able to retain the information and use as a reference.
Great overall experience.
Very easy to understand teaching style with great information
Easy to follow and understand. Clear and accurate without being too wordy

I've always admired the technical prowess of Zahabi, it was nice learning concepts of guard retention from one of the greatest minds of the modern MMA world. Very afective for grapplers of all ranks.
Magnifics concepts
Good technical breakdown with limiting energy expenditure and risk. Outstanding for nogi or mma students.
My guard has always been lacking and this has greatly helped
Firas is a great instructor, capable of simplifying and demonstrating techniques in an easy-to-understand and concise way. I really enjoy learning from his videos. He provides useful and highly practical techniques that truly work. This isn’t a comprehensive instructional covering all guard retention techniques and systems, but rather a collection of highly effective and applicable techniques that can make a real difference.
Top level coach
This is the best guard retention instructional. The basics are all here. My game improved with the first section alone.
Very good instructional that makes guard retention easy to understand and do.
Learned a lot here and cannot wait to add it all to my game.
Straightforward, efficient instruction on guard retention. Firas does not go into nearly as much philosophy, repetitive angles, different scenarios or the minute level of detail of Danaher, Ryan or even Giles. But, for most students, this instructional is enough to really improve your retention skills. Highly recommended for those working on this part of their game.
full of great details
As someone who's played primarily off their back since starting Jiu Jitsu, I've learned a ton in just part 1 of this instructional. His instruction is so clear. I really appreciate how he doesn't over explain, but clearly demonstrates and keeps things concise and to the point. Will definitely be looking at his other instructionals.
Great retention concepts taught in an easy to learn mannner
Top quality instructional.
