  This product helps to understand the objectives of both top and bottom players. Helps to understand major key points and to negate opponents ability to pass

• Great Instructional, truly.

  I think what Gordon said in the beginning about knowing WHY someone passes your guard is so important. Sometimes knowing is the mental boost you need to push through temporary failure.

• Guard retention MUST!!

  I have a love-hate relationship with my guard. It’s good when it works, it sucks when passers know what they are doing. This is becoming a key part of leveling up my knowledge and proficiency!

  i've been looking for information and concepts, not just moves. then i know what to do in any situation even if i haven't learned a particular position and move. when you know the why, you can always figure out the what.

• Staying in the dance.

  Gordon does an amazing job showing you what to focus on and when to prioritize you focus on something else when you opponent changes tactics. Then he give you some example techniques to stimulate thoughts on how to achieve your goals and deny there's. Not like a step by step recipe but a strategic understanding. Seeing it broadly so it can be applied broadly. I highly recommend this for all belt levels.
