Review of New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Closed Guard System
There is so much information here in this 8 Volume Instructional. I was interested in the side scissor but there is so much more here to try and add to my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Now a strong part of my game thanks to this
My sweep/submission % from closed guard has gone up dramatically the last 3 months (since getting this). Thanks!

John is so thorough and gives so many options for all types of opponent reactions.
Amazing instructional 😀😀
This was a great instructional that showed the basics and beginnings of guard retention, and we'll see how the rest plays out, but from the first hour it's an amazing and enlightening map of the strategy and aims of guard, retention and offense!

I have always been very comfortable in the closed guard but I had no idea how effective the side scissor could be. So much to work with in this instructional. Well worth the price.

John is bringing back a well known position but giving precise details to allow you to use this position against trained opponents.

Effective system for closed guard
A highly effective and complete system for closed guard. As usual for Danaher, the DVD is filled with useful concepts and systemized attacks from different variations of the closed guard.
CLOSED GUARD
Excellent instruction sur la garde fermée John Danaher est vraiment le meilleur.
New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Closed Guard
Very comprehensive look into one of the basic positions in Jiu Jitsu. Started Applying the Side Scissor and the Double Unders techniques and it works wonders even without prior drilling (atleast for me since I''m very comfortable in Closed Guard)
Closed Guard
Exellent for learning closed guard in no-gi. After loosing the grips you have in the gi it can feel like you dont have any control and this instructional helps a lot.
Great instructional
Worth the investment to improve your closed guard
