Think You'll Get It All from YouTube? Nope!
The Split Guard System by Karel "Silver Fox" Pravec
This instructional inspired my Jiu-Jitsu game. Silver Fox essentially shows an improved clamp guard. As someone who loves Danaher and has the entire New Wave series, I was intrigued by this idea! After playing around with split guard, I have to agree with Fox. Even though this instructional is several years old now, I think he's on to something. How many guards make your opponent unable to strike you, move away, or move forward? Being in split guard makes me feel under immediate threat. It's perplexing that this guard is not better known. But, I think I know the reason for that. Marketing. Fox is a good teacher, don't get me wrong. I love this instructional. But is he a great teacher, like Danaher? No. Fox tends to ramble and go on tangents. He'll tell you all the necessary details, but often won't frontload them. He'll intersperse them throughout his instructional. He'll show a move with slightly different set ups, and sometimes it's unclear if there's an essential order or not. Even though Danaher is verbose, he's much more organized and clear. One example is Fox's "Look, Ma, no hands" for his arm pit grip. From his instructional and his YouTube videos, he critiqued the "shotgun grip." I thought that mean holding the elbow was inefficient. However, a good ways into the instructional he says he actually doesn't hold it the way he demonstrates it, but just to emphasize the main power of the grip. I was grateful for the clarity, but the original way he explained it was confusing! Which leads to a final point. Fox is super generous with his content on YouTube. His content with Firas Zahabi should be studied (Firas tends to help him focus, too). His video on the arm triangle cleared up a lot of confusion on that strangle for me (and is actually superior to the way Danaher teaches it, in my opinion). Because of that, I thought I didn't need this instructional. He has so many videos on the split guard for free! If you're hesitating like me, don't. He goes into much more detail here, and even though Fox isn't as organized as Danaher, he does explain his system well. I'm very thankful for this, and I hope Fox gets more love.
Neil has super great attacking systems!

Master Class
Introduction To Pressure Passing by Murilo Santana
I always appreciate a complex sequence broken into digestible parts, small details sprinkled throughout. It teaches both the over under and the technical application at the highest level of guard play. I would think most people would show it at the simplest level of guard play and spend allot of time on explaining the points of control. the points of control are instead taught passively through a strong conceptual underpinning that allows some freedom to the player who is learning. great class
excellent
