One of the best instructionals on pin escapes
I struggled with escapes for a long time. John Danaher’s pin escape instruction first changed all that. Recently, I felt the need to grow in pin escapes again. Gordon’s instructional helped me to add that little extra and go for counter attacks as I escaped. Awesome concepts and a great way to advance from escapes to counter attacks.
