Very good instructional. Have implemented many of the techniques against even higher belts. Alot of the most common and highly effective techniques are categorized in the beggining which is really nice.
Makes it very simple to understand and doesn’t waste time with unnecessary information
Marcos explains each technique with great detail and his instructions are incredibly clear. Not only are the techniques of great quality but you can see that he has a complete understanding of the lasso guard.
As I get older I can't scramble the way I used to anymore. As a smaller guy I find myself on my back quite a bit. Rather than traditional closed guards which a lot of the sweeps and submissions can be stuffed by more experienced level above white belt, the lasso guard works well. It connects you to your opponent, there's many options for sweeps and submissions. There are counters, for different reactions. I do like Marcos opinion about sticking to either the lasso, or the spider guard separately rather than a combination of both.
awesome explanation and concepts
Great instructional, a lot of interesting techniques. Marcos shows that the lasso guard can be a lot more than a defensive postion.
Very clear instructions. Concise and minimal repetitions. Good change of angles.
Great instructional I have big floppy feet and am finding this guard working for me more and more thanks to this instructional.
Best person to learn the lasso from; has dedicated years of their BJJ learning all aspects of the Lasso guard. I've picked up the video to support a great teacher and to learn a game works in high level competitions.
Admittedly, this move feels a bit above my skill set, but I've been seeing Lasso work so well in my club that I wanted some insights. There's nothing not covered if you want to understand it from every angle.
the approach is quite old school, especially toward the teaching method. in any case, it's a really good introduction to the position.
Excellent transitions and attacks from the lasso. As a smaller grappler this is a great guard when going against larger opponenets. I've used it several times to sweep bigger, stronger guys.
Have really enjoyed playing more lasso after continuously getting stuffed. After this series, my percentages have gone way up.
Great vid !
Makes understanding it so simple
Top of the game. Very useful. Thank you
Great material. Gets right into the techniques. It’s definitely helping to enhance my lasso game.
This instructional has helped improve my understanding of the Lasso.
Great instructional video, helped me very much with the sweeps. This is an amazing instructional and it has definetly improve my guard
Amazing breaking down of set ups and working from lasso guard. I would always get to lasso position and was not too sure how to take advantage of it. Really benefited from the different sweeps and inverted submission options. Many of the techniques were very easy to incorporate once I started bringing them into training. If you are looking for more options from lasso, this instructional is an excellent choice. Very happy with this instructional.
A must for any lasso player! This is the best lasso instructional I have seen to date. Marcos does an excellent job of explaining the finer details in regards to grips, angles and positioning. I am extremely satisfied with this instructional!
Good
Great details took my last game to a new level! Thanks so much....
The video gave me a basic blueprint of how to use the lasso. Simple to understand and I was able to implement some techniques immediately.
i am a guard player and lasso is one of my fav positions, even after years of abusing it i still learned from this. does not require flexibility or athleticism, just positionning and leverage. Great instructionnal
Good Techniques ! Good explanations ! Improved my lasso game and it works in sparring very well!
The techniques help me to understanding the position and variations to defend and attack better.
Nice
One of the best videos out there. Lasso is very sneaky and hard to pass. Marcos is true wizard in lasso and he shows lasso from every situation. Great sweeps and finishes.
I never knew the lasso guard could be so versatile! Great teacher! Great video! Highly recommended!!!
Brilliant details from a true expert of the lasso!
If you're a smaller guy like me, it'll be an excellent skillset to utilize against bigger guys. I've been able to hit some of the sweeps on larger opponents while shutting down other moves by the grips. The explanations are great while building a good foundation off the initial sweep. He goes into further details based off other situations and counters. I've watched this instructional the most out of all the ones I've bought so far!
10/10 awesome skillset to learn. I've been hitting the sweeps on bigger guys since I've watched this video. The moves are fun to learn and the instructions are easy to follow. Definitely give this one a watch!
very well explained, perfect details, this video is one of my favorites.
Instructions are kept super clear and I learnt some really cool moves.
One of the best Dvd that i have ever watched. Learned tones of knowledge :top::top::top:
I've used this instructional to drill with upper belts and to teach my white belt girlfriend at home. Marcos's teaching is clear and straightforward and he demystifies techniques that can seem complex. Because of this instructional, lasso has become a foundation of my gi game.
Awesome instruction from a world-class competitor. These techniques took my game to a higher level. Highly recommended.
Learned some basics of the lasso guard, but will defnitely review once we get back into the gym.
I have been training the Lasso Guard more and more recently and this instructional helps me very effectively in training. The explanation is detailed and Marcos system opens a wide range of sweeps and attacks.

The details and angles are great. The instruction is clear, giving a precise objective for each move and counter. Marcos is awesome, highly recommend.
Good

yo juego mucho el lasso guard y este instruccional me ayudo muchu gracias
I always enjoyed a bit of lasso guard but this has really opened up a lot more options for me. Easy to understand and very detailed with options for every eventuality.
I bought this after watching one of the demo vids and I haven’t stopped watching since. This gave me an instant advantage in the gym against ALL size training partners. Instantly heightened my game!
I've been working the lasso for sometime to help control the pace with the younger I train with (I'm 42). This video breaks down the basics of the lasso, as well as the more complex sweeps, submissions and retention really well. It includes alot of submissions I've never even seen. I highly recommend the video.
Helped me a lot to improve my Lasso Game!
Loved it. Lasso is a game i love and i really enjoyed this one
