Absolute gold review of all basics
I needed a reminder to fill in all basics of guard and distance retention to carry out all my bottom sequences. This course filled in some of the core fundamentals that I became rusty on and helped me utilize it again on the mats

Very Good instructional. Teaches alot of underlying theory about the bottom positions & distance. Really helps you understand Brazilian jiu jitsu on a deeper level. He gives you a really good understanding of playing guard to manage distance, with good technique and concepts which you can apply to your game.

Concepts Based Instructional
As a beginner, I found this instructional very informative and useful. I’ll be watching it several more times as my training progresses. Mendes focuses on teaching some of his concepts about how he perceives various distances between him and an opponent and the approaches he takes from each distance. This is also a great introduction to the De La Riva guard for anyone who isn’t familiar with that yet.
