Great instructional. I love the
Great instructional. I love the way they break it down into different areas and the instruction is top knotch. So good techniques in there and some new things that I will try and add to my game.
Great retention. NO pass!
Great instructional about retention It is a bit an advanced level game But surely this video worth the money Highly recommended
Fantastic instructional!
Bought this and the around and under instructional. Both improved my game. It also made me more comfortable trying new techniques because i am not as afraid of getting my guard passed. Highly recommend going back to specific sections when you have assessed what situations you usually struggle with
Best video ever on the topic
Best video on guard retention (2 parts)
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:I have bought a lot
I have bought a lot of instructional videos from BJJ fanatics. Until now, I've believed that Dahaner's instructionals were the best. This one and it's companion around and under are now my favorites. Watching these two videos immediate improved my game. Two things you should know before you buy. You need to be flexible and very comfortable doing inversions to really benefit and to be able to use the most effective techniques from these two instructionals.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great
Great!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Very insightful
I’ve dedicated the last 6 months or so trying to up my guard retention as much as possible. I’ve watched so much content but this is by far the best. Very detailed. Nothing left out. Would absolutely recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great stuff!
I wish I had found this when I was white belt/blue belt. Completely improved my guard retention, and given me more confidence in my bottom game. FYI, some level of flexibility is required for some of these techniques.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Best instruction from the best to do it
Helped me a tonne with under the legs passing defence in particular
