Great instructional!
Great instructional
Shawn is a great instructor
This is one instructional I comeback to over and over again. The pummelling section alone is gold! So many hidden gems in this. Highly recommend this.
Great details
This is a great, underused guard, that works for all games and solves several problems you will find in no gi, Shawn takes you through all the details that makes the guard work, and make sure to watch the entire instructional as there is a lot of gems scattered throughout the instructional
I think my closed guard will improve. Thank you 👍�
Clear and Practical review of williams guard as well as relationship to other guards like the clamp

A helpful instructional on the Williams Guard
If you like to keep things tight and slow down your opponent check this out
This instructional covered a ton on the Williams guard , Omaplata and just sold fundamental for closed guard. This thing is full of good details that can be applied broadly. Highly recommended 👍
💯
everything in the guard position
what a gift to have this tutelage
A true masterpiece! Shawn Williams breaks down his signature guard with the same level of detail and precision as when he commentates. His explanations are incredibly clear, making even complex concepts easy to understand and apply. This instructional is a must-have for anyone looking to refine their guard game with a structured, high-level approach. Highly recommended!
This has become quite easily one of my favourite guards! Loads of control, loads of options from this position will have you're opponents guessing what the **** is going on time and time again 😂
A guide that will help you improve your control over your opponent.
If you like the clamp guard or want to build a solid closed guard system that works especially well against bigger stronger people then get this.
Super accessible and usable content that is really well explained.
Lots of helpful pointers, insightful
Great instructional
This has been a great option from the guard. Super frustrating for opponent. Shawn is a wonderful teacher, very clear and concise.
He's one of the best there are at grappling. here's what he came up with. it's what gave birth to a lot of guards. great addition to full and rubber guard players
good
I wish there were more video's like this. Properly dissecting a (sub)-system and make it possible to add as much or as little as you want to your own game
Shawn Williams is one of the greatest teachers out there so it's a privilege to learn this very useful guard from the man himself.
Well explained and easy to follow
Great instructional
This instructional has so much in it it's worth the buy just for how much is here, has great unique content, explained well with multiple angles, shows care and respect by making people aware of dangers without shying away from more difficult or risky techniques, and most important explains very small concepts that are VERY useful. Explained in an easy to understand package.
Very simple explanations of systematic techniques. I immediately integrated so.e of this into my game.
Shows many concepts and techniques you can apply outside of the guard and very easy to start using
Great unique guard.
I follow Shawn on his Instagram and he always produces nice tips which I use to improve my game. I've been working on clamp guard and his instructional provides seamless transitions between his guard and the clamp guard as well as numerous tips on transitioning from closed guard etc.
nice breakdown of the williams guard with intricate detail
Great content
game changer
even works for non flexible dad bods
I have been using this for engaging and attacking from closed guard and super helpful in bringing to the table a "new" approach to attack. This position leads to a more safer rubber gaurd and the mechanics are very well explained.
