Awesome! Very very detailed and thorough. I love that he instructs on the different distances of guard. This is a concept Ive become familiar with through experience, and if I wouldve had this when I first started it wouldve helped my game so much more!

Great high level concepts
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Very interesting
The instructional categorises the type of guards according to the distance between both opponents and comes across general concepts implied at each situation. Although this instructional is not approached from the perspective of a fixed system but from general concepts, it gives some insights/techniques to be used in the situations considered. That information was quite useful to me so I recommend it.

Great instructional!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Useful but lacking
It’s instructional has its value and use butter someone who’s been training for a while, I feel like it’s lacking crucial details. I would recommend it for blue belts and under but if you have been doing jiu-jitsu consistently for a couple years, you shouldn’t expect to learn anything new.
