This is a very big Instructional, but the details in every technique make it truly a masterclass. I finished ~30 other BJJ Fanatics Instructionals and this is my favorit so far.
Great instructional. Detailed from all elements of side control.
This DVD is full of details on side control and attacks. It’s a great buy for the value you are getting.

This instructional has about everything you can try on side control. What makes this unique is that Matheus shows you how to get to side control and how to get from side to other positions. He literally shows you how to pass to side, countless options from the side, knee on belly, north south, back takes, how to mount step by step etc.....
Very comprehensive
Effective and helpful instructions
M.G. provided such an amazing instructional about about side control like it is an art and sport itself. He is a master of giving you an overview and an overall picture on one side and technical to the point on the other. You get maintainance. You get recovery. You get entries straight from guard passing. You get knee on belly concepts and techniques. And you get attacks He focuses a lot about proper weight shifting and angling to get the positions and attacks which are available or you will be able to generate! His dedication to teaching can be felt every split second!!!
you'll see tons of things here... lot of them seen elsewhere, lot of them new
I already own Matheus's closed guard passing course and this was obvious purchase for me. Great teacher, affordable instructional, very detailed.
Picked up plenty of new details on techniques I already knew that are game changing. Definitely worth it!
