• X guard review

  One of the most effective open guards ever. Marcelo Garcia teaches it with incredible clarity—focused on off-balancing, control, and high-percentage sweeps. Works at all levels, but especially powerful if you like a technical, control-based game.

  Altough Marcelo didn't create the X-guard, he is basicaly its father and helped popularize this kind of guard.

• Just Buy It

  This is the natural continuation of the butterfly guard-the most logical next step once you've been working with it. her you get the foundation of the x-guard and everything you need. this blend af Jon Satava's approach and Marcelos's x guard book will turn you into a dangerous player.

• A Masterclass on how to get, Control and Sweep from the X Guard!

  Marcelo begins by doing an amazing job of demonstrating and explaining how to achieve and gain control from the X Guard from various entries. This is followed by an in depth look at how he combines various sweeps against different positions and responses that your opponent gives you. Highly recommended series from the man who made X Guard famous, the legend himself, Marcelo Garcia!
