Love this sweep great core movement
Excellent well articulated material
Excellent clear material. Lots of good content that you can adapt right away
over clasp sweeps
Focused on one move, but an excellent study on the butterfly sweep.
Really enjoyed this subject, details great on technique and follow ups. Rewatched loads of times just to get the concepts it's very in-depth!
Excellent details on butterfly sweep
Very comprehensive and detailed. I like the summary chapter where he goes through the series with less detail. One of my favorite things is that he is smaller than his uke Placido.
Great follow up on John’s New Wave open guard 2 where he touches on the fundamentals of no gi Sumi Gaeshi. Brian builds on that with more set ups and context. With the whole instructional dedicated to Sumi Gaeshi Brian is able to show a lot of detail on how to use the sweep even when it fails. Brian does a great job explaining what to do when they defend the sweep and see Sumi Gaeshi as a gateway into other dominant attacks and positions.
this video changed everything for me
good
Everything from Danaher and his students is a must have. If you put in the work and train the material you will reach new levels.
Glick goes in depth on one of jiu jitsu's most versatile moves. Highly recommend
Absolutely great
Good info. Good instruction. Wish it was longer. I will still buy his future instructions.
Have all Professor Glick’s instructionals. Always shows great detail. And love the summary video.
This video is a good compliment to John Danaher Go Further Faster Open Guard Video
I really Brian Glick's instruction, thorough helpful details without an overwhelming amount of repetition.
Very thorough in the mechanics and strategies of sumi gaeshi
Easy-to-understand explanations with attention to detail. Go beyond Danaher.
Love all of Professor Glick’s instructionals.
Very concise and well organized content. Applicable immediately in live training
Very in depth, highly recommended
Really appreciate Glicks’s teaching style. Clear, concise, and thorough. Highly recommend.
a masterclass on the butterfly sweep
Clear concepts, detailed instructions, organized lessons. Everything you need on the subject.
useful and informative
Professor Brian Glick offers pure dedication along excellent knowledge and the ability to break down/simplify every aspect/relevant detail. Great content!
he seems humble and tried to do a good session. that is good enough for me. doesn't claim more than he knows, does sell more than what is there. plenty of butterfly instructional out there, i think this should be okay to buy and add onto your library.
Great explanations, very thorough. Excellent instructor
Really great instructional. Learned a lot of details on mechanics and entry of sumi gaeshi. Also interesting is looking at a failed sumi gaeshi sweep as an entry into other guards like ashi and clamp.
great content, simplified but not simple
Been looking forward to this one for a while. Worth the wait!
