The reviews

• Quality Instruction

  Lot of good technical knowledge shared here

  I was looking for a way to take down really strong opponents without shooting on their hips and getting underneath them. There is a big guy in my gym who always goes for my neck, and when I get tired, I slow down and he tends to go for neck cranks on me. So I was looking for a better way to take him down and keep my neck safe at the same time. I decided to try out this instructional, and it has been awesome! A lot of the moves he shows allow you to end up in better positions, and also set you up for attacking submissions. It opened up a whole new range of options from the upright standing position. In addition, I finally found a proper way to set up the arm-in guillotine! This instructional has been so helpful, and has nicely filled in some gaps in my game. Highly recommend!
