• Great intro to K Guard

  Neil is hilarious and longwinded so it balances out. This is a great resource for big guys with ADCC , MMA or self defense in mind.

  I was already a big triangle guy, but this has given me a ton of new ways to threaten any time my partner is seated.

• Great contents, Slow pacing

  There is a lot of philosophy. But a ton of great techniques that didn’t see before or saw and didn’t understand. You may need to watch on fast speed at some parts. He is still the best.

• Great help - if a trapping system isn´t working

  That one makes the Guard Game complete. Love all of the trapping system instructionals but this is must.

  Neil makes what seemed like a complex guard style very approachable and usable w practice

  Scott L.April 14, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Great Instructional

  Great breakdown of the guard especially if your new to it.

  Richard F.April 12, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlack belt16+ yrs training

• K gaurd

  It is great. You can use k-hairs as an off balancing system without even specializing in it. It reinforces how important hip movement is.

  Philip E.April 6, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlack belt16+ yrs training

• Neil is awesome

  Learned a lot

  Mark H.March 28, 2025CanadaVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Neil is a mad scientist

  I love coach Melanson’s ability to merge MMA , BJJ, Catch Wrestling and Judo (any other grappling art that I forgot to mention). This guard system looks to be complicated but effective if you spend the time developing it. I love that you can keep from getting knocked out on the bottom while attaching submissions from everywhere. Highly recommended.

• Splendid K Guard Instructional

  As usual I enjoyed every moment of Niels very own brand of "dry" humor and his Uke chuckling under his breath during the entire instructional. Niels' K Guard was just what I needed to experiment with. I've had success getting people into K guard and they often don't know what the F to do as I off balance. Submissions and sweeps next.

• Amazing!

  Really enjoyed the ideas and concepts in this video. Easy to follow along, takes a little time to get good at but worth it.

• Botherhhod of the filth

  I own over 40 instructionals, and I always come back to this one. its worth every penny {English saying) it changed my game at purple belt. Once i added it to my game my closed guard was massivly elavated. i have triangled so many people in class and comp. it made me better looking too. Neil is hilarious and full usefulful concepts and detail. i don't really want people to buy this instructional as if feels like a secret weapon. if you buy this don't share the techniques with anyone in your club (joking) seriously this material is priceless.

• Building on my Lachan Giles style K-Guard game

  This is really helpful in giving me options when an oppent is trying to just defend back side 50/50.

  Randall D.December 28, 2023USVerified buyer

  Neil is one of my favorite grapplers to learn from. solid technique through and through.

  Alexander M.December 26, 2023USVerified buyer

• Excited

  Just picked this up. Really excited to try it out at the gym. I believe Neil is the bets instructor on BJJFanatics. I know that’s saying a lot but all his material is practical, efficient, and effective. Plus his humor makes it easy to keep your attention!

• 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.
