• Encyclopedia of Lower body guards

  Ari goes over many different types of guard, but mainly focuses on De la riva. This instructional covers almost everything and Ari gives solutions to almost any problem you could have. It is a great value considering how much info it contains.

• Open Guard Compendium: Lower Body Guards by Ariel Tabak

  Extremely detailed DVD covering DLR and RDLR. The DVD covers all areas of the DLR and RDLR, including off balancing, transitioning, hook placement, common problems and trouble shooting. In my opinion, to get the most out of this DVD some basic knowledge of the DLR/RDLR is beneficial. As an experienced BJJ practitioner, this has helped fine tune my bottom open guard game so much!!

• Unparalleled look at the guard

  Lachlan Giles went to Ariel to improve his guard work. After viewing this instructional you can see why. The level of detail is unparalleled. He has the ability to give you the big picture philosophy you expect from a Danaher video and the detailed competition technique you expect from a Gordon video combined with the perspective of a lightweight athlete that you get from a Lachlan Giles. I recommend getting all his instructionals for a full picture of the modern guard game

• Understanding of the open guard game

  This is an open guard series based on DLR and RDLR. The given szenarios are szenarios against standing opponents as well as against opponents in the head quaters position. Furthermore you get some transitions to other guards such as x guard and k guard. The teacher focuses on very clear examples and explanations of every techniques and positional aspects. It is about the position first followed by how they get dismantled and how you can counter that to reset or attack. And of course offbalancing and attacking is deeply coverd too. Recommondation!
