Aprreciating Gui Mendes for putting this out and explaining the concepts of their guard from diff distances. Each techniques explains concept and shows the drills and technique chaining, this for me is the best way to learn. Light bulbs goes for each details explained.
I received my Black Belt a few months ago. I still had holes in my guard. This instructional is so amazing 👏�. Highly technically and easy to understand. The conceptual perspective and the illustrated techniques and scenarios are phenomenal. This is a must have for any rank. Level up today buy this ASAP!
great!
Smart concepts easy to understand and acquire instead of specific techniques that would work only in given situations. Great to start building your own game!
This instructional had a great way of breaking down the concepts at all of the distances in guard. It has been very helpful to my game!
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!
I learn best when the instructor breaks down the philosophy of the position. Doing so helps me understand what techniques work best under different circumstances. Professor Mendes does this exceptionally well. I've already incorporated a lot of what I learned into my fledgling BJJ game.
Quality of the instructional is next level. Techniques are broken down to easily follow. Just an awesome instructor who you feel is passing on genuine information that is immediately effective
Really great instructional and step by step analysis on the moves and techniques! Would highly recommend
Great details
The best class of The planet
The Fui brothers shows you how to manage each distances from bottom guard and to understand when and how to hook, scoop and frame. When to retain. When to sweep. When to attack submissions. Highly recommend!
Gui does a tremendous job of connecting various guards based on your opponent's distance. Really helpful stuff!
It is great video!
Great high level concepts
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.
Gui Mendes shows you how to manage each distances from the bottom guard perspective and to understand when and how to frame. When to retain. When to sweep. When to attack submissions and when to chain. Highly recommend!
good for your guard game
Super interesting video to improve your game and understanding of BJJ.
The Breakdown on the distances from Gui provides invaluable insight to your game immediately.
Great instructional!!
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.
it change my bottom game
helped my open guard
This is a great instructional as it offers a different perspective on approaching jiu-jitsu. Rather than playing different guards, it shows how to manage the distance and use different positions/guards as tools and not as end goals.
