Scissor me Timbers
Neil is a great teacher. Importantly his instructionals are enjoyable to watch and engaging. He doesn't fill the tape with fluff, just hardcore techniques that work in MMA and jiu Jitsu.

great info while I'm off injured
Neil never let's down always the best
Neil is the best
Outstanding!
I bought this a few years ago when I wanted to stop playing closed guard and need an answer. I went to a retreat and met Gokor who played this guard the entire time with success. I bought this due to having info that Neil was a Hayastan black belt. I have a lot of Neil's instructionals and this is the one I find myself reviewing the most. Neil makes this a very complete guard and the attacks are from everywhere. If you are a beginner or advanced you will find this instructional very helpful in your game.
great stuff
my first ever instructional was from Neil and he never disappoints this one is no different
Great Content
Always great delivery from Neil. Gave me comfort in a whole new position, confident to get there and operate.
Top-notch
Great for MMA & submission grappling. Neil always shows (brutal) techniques you can not find anywhere in that depth. Outstanding if you love his style. Highly recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great insteuctional
I love the way Neil breaks things down in his videos, this one was a boon to my guard game.
Interesting
Neil Melanson takes an interesting approach to a common technique that you learn early on. Always good to have a trick up your sleeve.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Love it!
I literally have 9 of Coach Melanson's instructionals. Everyone is great. I can't get enough! The scissor guard video flows perfectly with the other guard videos. Thanks to Neil, my guard game is getting better and diverse.

It is Effective and helpful instructions
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Improved Ground Game
There is so much content to review and it's all relevant. I spent the weekend viewing and practicing all these techniques, something that I would not have being able to do in a seminar. I will continue to drill these techniques and also get better in my guard play.

Scissoring Me Timbers
I was skeptical of Coach Neil, because of his size. I’m 5”8’ and doubted the things he taught would apply to my body type. I was wrong. Neil breaks techniques, tactics, and concepts down in a way that they become universal. I have purchased many of his instructional products and have been able to use almost anything he presents. I cannot recommend his work enough.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Neil is awesome!
Great instructional. On a mission to own all his downloads.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Just what the doctor ordered
Great instructional
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Another one
I love this dvd, i have been a big fan of this sweep for a long time. So many new options in here. Super effective!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Review of scissor guard
Another great instructional on scissor guard. Great insight on utilizing a scissors sweep to create a whole entire guard game. Thank god for great instructional like this, I do not have the time or creative mind to expand my game without these., I feel like I’m cheating.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great instructional video !
Great instructional video !
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻In Neil we Trust
I was really curious about this one when I heard it was in development, because I thought what the F**k is a scissor guard? sweep yes, guard no. After watching it I have to say it's a real game changer for me, not just with the techniques but the concept and strategy around the scissor position. I'm sure most people have encountered that moment when you try a scissor sweep and the person just won't budge so you either have to revert back to closed guard or other open guard that's if you haven't been passed. This instructional goes into great detail on creating offence from the scissor position so if the sweep fails, fear not, start working offence with a two on one from the scissor position, or attempt to take the back, transition into K-control or even the shoulder pin all of which is possible from the scissor guard. I really had no idea there were so many options. Highly recommended, you can not go wrong with a Neil Melanson instructional. In Neil We Trust, The Filth is the Way - stick that on a t-shirt I'd buy it
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructional
As with all of Neils videos this instructional is packed with very detailed technique, high level strategies, words of wisdom and a bunch of entertaining stories! It's a mix you won't find from anyone else, definitely recommended.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Filthy Good
I'm one of those "beautiful creatures" that buys everything Neil makes. Filthy good!
