Great for lighter and less stronger players, who can use the physicals of jiu jitsu to compete against a bigger and stronger opponent.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Excellent video!
Excellent video!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:5 stars!!
I love using the side scissor position and in new wave closed guard John found ways to make the position even more over **** than it already is. This section alone makes this instructional a 5 star rating. I’ve also been taking pointers from the trap triangle and top lock section to play a trilema between opponents hands on mats and elbow positioning. Like all of johns instructionals this will take way more than 1,2,3 full viewings. In the first viewing I watch for genera concepts to improve the way I play from the position and I also pin point techniques I would like to implement. From there my many other viewings of the instructional are to trouble shoot the things I’m working on. I usually work on this for a few weeks-months and then come back to watch with a clear mind and pick up on concepts I may have missed or forgotten about. Enjoy
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:game changing
Watching these instructionals has definitely changed my perception of how to attack from guard. Price of admission is worth it, when it changes the way you think about sparring.
