Simple to follow and use
As my review says, Priit make his instructions simple to follow along with and understand. I’ve really seen improvement in my defense by using his techniques.
Nothing fancy, just simple details to improve your open guard
This fits right in with Pritt's other videos, showing simple details to tighten up your structure so that your open guard becomes harder to pass.

Good content
Good content and a fairly simple concept. Took a while for it to click as it felt a bit disjointed but I think it’s a system anyone can pick up fairly quickly.
Very interesting
I get tapped out less.

Priit might be more known for his turtle and defensive bjj, but I found this guard retention instructional very helpful. He shows few very basic concepts that are easy to implement and improve guard retention. Great instructional.

I love Grilled Chicken! (the guard retention system and the food!)
I wish I could meet Priit Mihkelson in person to shake his hand for producing such a simple yet easy to understand video on guard retention - a system he calls "grilled chicken." Why TF did he name it that, you ask? Because whether sitting or on your back, the structure is similar to one of those grilled rotisserie chickens you get at the store - the headless grilled bird with its wings pulled up and tucked in close to its sides and its thighs flexed and externally rotated. The whole idea is to keep this structure when someone is trying to pass you. I was able to immediately implement this system with good results against same level people - higher belts can still pass me, but I am making progress. I love Lachlan Giles' ideas on guard retention, but at age 52, I found myself too inflexible to do a lot of that Gumby-like inversion stuff that Lachlan endorses (Priit also teaches inversion but his tips are more suited to a less flexible guy like me) - plus, I have started doing Yoga for BJJ app 10 minutes a day which has definitely helped. Anyway, I can't recommend this video highly enough. Well done, Priit! If I see you in the airport, I will buy you a beer!
Guard Retention - Passing Prevention - Guard Recovery
Professor P. M. created an outstanding instructional on keeping or regaining yout guard based on seated, supine or hip heisting moves and strategies. All movements and moves are fundamental and general so that they are applicable and adaptable for different body types and strategies. This should be everyones guard retention foundation!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Preitts instructions are great for
Preitts instructions are great for helping my guard retention. He is streight on point
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great retention instructional
My guard retention is weak and a work in progress. I saw this instructional and took a chance based off the stellar reviews. The reviews are correct, this instructional helped out almost immediately. Teaches you retention postures that make it harder to pass your guard based off of distance. Principles to understand and movements based off what the opponent does as well as drills. Solid instructional that I took notes on and have rewatched several times.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great instructional

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Will make you see BJJ in a different way
For me, this was a new approach to BJJ, and one that made me much more difficult to submit. Highly recommended.
Great Instructional!
Priit is an awesome instructor. I was first introduced to his concepts on Youtube. This instructional goes into great detail and is definitely worth the money!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Grilled chicken
Excellent instructional, simple minimal movements and works well on all training partners
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Grilled Chicken Guard Retention System by Priit Mihkelson
This video was a game changer for me as a purple belt. This simple rule-based retention system gave me the comfort and confidence to try new things without fear of giving up a positional advantage. The real benefit was developing an open guard game off of it. Grilled Chicken has become a staple of the class I teach.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A conceptual look at retaining guard
Priit's material is just fantastic, particularly if you are past the age where you can coast on athleticism. The grilled chicken is easy to incorporate in your game because Priit presents it as a series of concepts and principles rather than techniques.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great concepts
Priit explains some simple concepts that provided me with big improvements in guard retention. Requires some practice to get it right, but it can fit into almost anyone’s open guard game I think.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The Grilled Chicken Guard Retention System By Priit Mihkelson
