• Shoulder pin guard

  This is an awesome guard. It is a lot like rubber guard in that it is a very secure, dominant position you can get to with lots of submissions from the position. It is my favorite guard at the moment.

• Neil is a master

  Neil has a really unique perspective that is second to none. Neil’s guard system is probably one of the best in the game especially for self defense and mma when you can’t rely on the gi.

• Shoulder on system

  Always good stuff. Not all are applicable to my game or movement ability - but some are. Can always take 3-4 solid moves.

• Adds to my clamp guard game

  Neil has some funny moments and is very detailed on how to get into his shoulder pin system. These details have helped my clamp guard game as well. There are many variations of submissions that you can do in shoulder pin guard that you can't from clamp guard so both guards supplement one another well.

• Awesome stuff

  I’ve got most of the stuff that he puts of and he never disappoints. This one is no different, full of really valuable stuff that I can’t wait to add to my game.

• TOP Knotch tool

  As always, neil delivers a great instructional. Full of concepts you don't typically see. Even if you can't set up or do a quarter of the stuff he lays out, the general concept and options from it can make you feel much safer but more dangerous in guard

• Fantastic Detail

  Neil is super detailed but not dry- engaging and easy to understand.

  James D.January 3, 2024USVerified buyer

• Great

  Nice instructionals.

  JordyDecember 28, 2023BEVerified buyer

• Really useful stuff

  My lack of flexibility and ongoing back issues sadly mean that rubber guard techniques have been and seemingly will always be beyond my grasp. This guard system is amazing it essentially does the same thing as rubber guard but without the need for flexibility.

• Top-notch

  A cool and unique position which cause your training partners to reflection. If you don't know this stuff it is hard to get out of these positions.

• Great instructional as usual Neil rules.

  Awesome guard to throw in your arsenal. Neil teaches his techniques even for a ***** to understand like me. Definitely a cool position to throw off your training partners.
