Good System!
The Heisen Guard
Love Malachy’s stuff, straight forward tutorial easy to navigate, instructions are very clear. Looking forward to playing with this
Great
Good addition to my bottom game.
1st off, GREAT INSTRUCTION, TECHNIQUES AND BEARD. I would've given a perfect score but I really wanted to see it live in action and there wasn't any rolling footage. Also, the music was distracting. Other than that it was awesome and I can't wait to purchase part2 oss
Prof Friedman delivers again. This has to be one of the sneakiest techniques in BJJ. Very well taught and demonstrated, this one works right out of the box! Also works in no-gi so there's and added bonus! Brilliant!
Fun to play with. Mostly applicable in the gi.
Malachy is a great instructor, and this is a really concise instructional
Like it. A lot of opportunities to submit.
The idea of this Guard is interesting, I have been able to use it a couple of times.
Hadn't heard of this position before this instructional.
The Heisen Guard
I think this is a really interesting concept but I feel like the basics of it are rushed and there is more time spent on "breaking bad" style transitions than there is showing the technique from multiple angles. One time just isn't enough to absorb the information and it's a bit annoying to have to rewind constantly.
never disappointed when it comes to professor malachys approach to jiu jitsu his heisen guard system is unlike any other and is beneficial for all skill levels and all body types can benefit from this concise well put together easy to understand format that you can apply literally right after watching this
awesome stuff. great beginning to a really broad guard position
This seems pretty simple and usually a simple technique works. I look forward to testing these techniques. BIG OSS!!!
i'm a 60-year-old white belt started a year ago. I've been going three times a week and haven't missed. I needed something to give me an edge against these young guys. I think this is going to do it. Thank you so much.
unorthodox system but the techniques seem sound. will definitely be playing with this guard a bit.
nice open guard (if we can define so). different from anything else. the explanations are really simple and straight to the point. in the whole video a vol 2 i spoken about, will it be published?
Getting the angle from supine guard with a different approach. Reccomend.
Interesting guard, would've liked more detail on some of the instruction, like explanation around why certain grips/positions are better then others and setting up opponent etc. Seems to rush through the techniques at times. Still worth checking out.
I'm only 7 minutes into the DVD and I'm being asked to do a review so that I can continue watching on the app. So far, so good.
good instructional
Awesome instructional,
Great instructional. Just some fun things that are tricky when you’re rolling. Also good to know this in case someone tries it on me
Intereting stuff ! Gotta drill that ! ;D
Professor M. F. teaches a kind of in between guard where you can sweep and submit out of because you will surprise your training partners as well as out of a scramble!
I am enjoying this instructional. Malachy puts out quality instructionals, and this is no different.
This is a great guard option to throw your opponent off. The set ups are easy to learn too.
Great concept and explanation!
