Very good, he says shoulder a lot tho hahaha.
Mikey is a genius. I feel like this one is perfect if you already have a decent understanding of guard concepts. So detailed and packed with so many gems to take your guard to the next level.
Excellent and very detailed
Great instructional . Everything is really well explained. Explanations are maybe a bit repetitive at times but the techniques are really good. He likes to keep things simple, and his techniques are simple, yet very effective. That's the way I like it too.
This instructional is well made and very technical. The details are clear, and there are some smart ideas for guard retention and back takes. For me as a heavyweight, it felt a bit too technical in some areas and not the easiest to apply. Overall, it is a solid instructional, especially for people who like a more technical style.
This is a really good instructional to master guard retention from almost every position
Good to understanding how to escape and improve your position from guard
Great content, was able to apply them in live rolls.
Nice guard ideas, more applicable to the flexible ones, though.
Good concepts, well explained
Good concepts, well explained!
Some golden nuggets from a world class grappler. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 starts was in comparison with some other courses I’ve done one this platform the content density is much lower. But the price is much lower too, so I should have guessed!

This BJJ video, "Power Switch," is a real gem for any practitioner of the gentle art. It contains a wealth of detailed information, so much so that I've had to pause and rewatch several parts to fully grasp everything. The approach is extremely scientific, offering insights I was previously unaware of, significantly enhancing my understanding of BJJ. It's highly recommended for those looking to improve their technique in a meticulous and well-founded manner. Without a doubt, I would buy it again.
The video "Power Switch" is very detailed, offering a wealth of useful information. However, some explanations are not as clear as they should be, which will make certain parts need to be reviewed in slow motion to understand all the concepts. Despite this, the video includes many good small details that make it worth buying. The depth and precision of the techniques presented provide significant value to those looking to improve their skills. In summary, "Power Switch" is a valuable and recommended video for those willing to invest time in unraveling its complexities.
Don't get lost in the details, think first in what Mikey says. Where is the power and never go against but with. Great stuff, perfect for any level.
