The reviews
Excellent
Learned new ways of using lapels to sweep and attack. Very well explained without being long winded.
Good stuff
Alex Huddleston’s instructional is very good and easy to understand. He shows the Squid Guard in a simple, clear, and practical way. The techniques are explained step by step, so it is easy to follow and start using them in training. I really liked how direct and specific his teaching style is. There is no wasted time, and the details are shown quickly and clearly. I learned some new ideas about control, timing, and transitions from the Squid guard that I can use right away. Overall, this is a very solid instructional for anyone who wants to improve their Squid Guard and add something new to their game.

I'd recommend this for white to purple belts. It's well explained but pretty basic.

great video on lapel guard
This is a really excellent concept based DVD. I'm a small guy, not particularly talented and I've been able to implement a good chunk of it in live rolling

grear guard dvd
great guard dvd
Great system to start with to add to fundamentals
Instructional was detailed and gave me a good set of sequences to branch out from fundamentals. Watched several times over to make sure I understood some of the more detailed movements positioning and was able to implement the entry’s and following attacks in live sparring fairly quickly. Overall great and helped me improve

The Lapel Guard Blue Print by Alex Huddleston
Alex is great teacher and explains things well. Camera angles are good as well. The course goes over specifically Squid Guard as well as a lapel attack sequence from the Closed Guard. Great series focusing on the Squid Guard
amazing instructional
This was my introduction to the sling and to squid guard. It was so detailed and has really made me think of my lapel guard game in a different light. Excellent instructional.
Lapel's made simple
Lapel Guard for bigger - and not so flexible players!
Excellent!
This is easily one of my favorite instructionals!
very nice
excellent techniques very effective
awesome but prob to complicated for some
I don't use the lapel much in training besides the basics. I got this instructional in hopes of it helping so far I like the concepts but I don't know if it's for me yet.
Great lapel content!
Great content! very detailed!
this lapel shoudler lockdown system is so #%^#%€~ good
This lapel lockdown system was something I've explored in the past, but didn't get too deep into it. I saw this instructional on a discount so I decided to pick it up. I got this for $40. I can tell you that this instructional is not $40. It's worth atleast $150. The system of the lapel shoulder lockdown and the strategies that he describes in this guard is incredibly detailed, with many options, counters, submissions, sweeps, and transitions to improved position, you will certainly see me playing with this guard system going forward in the future.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent Resource
I’ve recently started playing the Lapel guard as my main guard, but I’ve really improvising and trying to just make anything work. This is helpful in that it provides a set of instruction to give me a good base and help me figure out what needs to be done to maximize the guard.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Big fan of the guard series
this instructional changed the way I play guard. the sling armbar DEFINITELY became a part of my attacks.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Lapel Video
Alex Huddleston gives great instruction and explanation as to the "why" and the "how". My new favorite series.

Have been looking for a lapel instructional like this for a while. This is a great instructional for someone starting to learn the lapel guard. He breaks things down so they are easy to understand and apply. I highly recommend!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructional!
Great intro to open stuff, also very practical !
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤙🏻Love it
Incredibly good instructional. Even for a beginner, the explanations are easy to understand and complement fundamental jiu jitsu. I especially like the transitions shown here and you always get a complete sequence of positions over attacks, fails and sweeps.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great video for bigger guys
Huddleston presents a good lapel system for those of us that might not have the flexibility of some of the current "worm guard" masters.
Awesome Lapel Ideas
I have taken many of Professor Alex’s classes and had the opportunity to take a few privates with him as well. Love his approach to Jiu Jitsu and especially his cerebral style. I’ve just started watching his lapel blueprint and am sooo excited to start drilling some of these ideas - Americana to Lapel Ezekiel to Pendulum Sweep! :smiling_imp:
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Mel Alexander
Professor Alex Huddleston is an amazing instructor. He delivers complex instruction and concepts in very smooth comprehensive steps that can be easily understood by everyone, including beginners. Very excited for this to come out and I would highly recommend it!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The Shaved Gorilla
Ive personally taken multiple classes with Prof Alex Huddleston on the lapel game. I 100% use his system in every roll. I cant wait to watch this over and over again. I've been waiting for this video to come out so I can clean up my lapel game. Highly recommend this video.
