The reviews

• Game-Changing Concepts – Way Beyond Just Moves

  The insight Gordon provides in this one is incredibly valuable. It’s one thing to memorize a bunch of isolated techniques, but this instructional actually breaks down the bigger macro outlook of the sport. Understanding the overarching strategy and why you should be doing things proved to be way more valuable to my game than just drilling another random submission or sweep. If you're trying to tie everything together and see the whole board instead of just the individual pieces, this is exactly what you need. Highly recommend.
