Fantastic video from Aaron. Second instructional video that I purchased from Aaron. Eeasy to understand
Really cool instructional Aaron always knocks it out of the park💯💢💥💫
Aaron is very detailed and articulate in his teachings.
Great Stuff
This is timeless jiujitsu expertly taught. I will be re-teaching this to my students!
So much great information packed into this instructional, I wouldn’t hesitate to get any instructional Aaron puts out.
I’m only through the first 3rd of the instructional but Aaron has so many gems playing this gripping combo from your closed guard. It’s relatively easy to ****** and people seem perplexed when you take these grips which in my eyes immediately puts them into defensive mode. It’s a highly effective gripping strategy for controlling strong people as I’ve seen. Marcos Tinoco originally gave this 2 on 1 strategy idea to me on YouTube which let me to Aaron’s series on this as I wanted to explore it deeper. Looking forward to completing it and using it more as my go to when in closed guard.
plenty of options with context
I love controlling one side of the body. What is especially helpful is Aaron's explanation of transitioning from closed to open guard.
Aaron has obviously put a lot of work into preparing the instructional before filming it and it shows. Best value for the money, especially for beginners. I will slowly make my way through all his instructionals. Thanks Aaron and thanks BJJ Fanatics!
Professor A. B. delivers an amazing series about the technical/mechanical aspects of the 2 on 1 closed guard independent of certain grips as well as mechanical details of certain grips. He covers how to deal with opponents dependend if they are standing straight upwards as well as bent over or kneeling on one or two knees. He gives you very clear indicators when and how to tranisition to other gaurds like butterfly and half guard to gain better kuzushi and easier sweeps and submissions. He covers pure kuzushi based entries as well as sweeping based entries to sweeps and submissions. Cristal clear without sugar coating! Highly recommend!
So nice! I've improved my closed guard!
Thanks for Effective and helpful instructions! It help me alot to upgrade my closed guard!
This is a well thought out instructional Succinct Well organized Awesome information for beginners and advanced practitioners
You read the title! It’s a closed guard game that is realistic for any body type. It will change your perspective on the 2 on 1 Grip aswell on how to play closed guard effectively for anybody type being short, flexible, wide, and long. Good stuff Aaron :fire:
Being an older featherweight I'm looking for instructionals that work well for people that are not very strong. Aaron head great details in the instructional. The 2 on 1 helps to control the opponent. The build up of the instructional is perfect. The only thing that could have made it better would be the inclusion of a few narrated rolls. Aaron in is definitely one of my favourite BJJ Fanatics instructors.
At the moment I'm working on my Closedguard. It helps a lot👍�:slightly_smiling:
