Awesome guard studies. All flow into each other as well Perfect for my game.
Even thought gi is for old men this was still interesting
Amazing techniques. I've always loved playing open guard and this DVD has taken that part of my game to the next level.
Creative and beautiful BJJ!

great guard dvd
They keep asking so I will keep giving this video its props! I love this right here!
One of the best instructional I own for sure. Would def. suggest it.
Informative
Very clear instruction by Tommy and Espen in various open guard scenarios. They each teach a systematic attack sequence from their preferred guard. This is easy to follow and apply on the mat even though they are showing some complex techniques with many steps involved.
This is one of the best videos I have purchased. I would encourage anyone to buy it.
Perfect Video

One of if not the best instructional I have ever purchased.

Quality instructional showing techniques you see these guys regularly hitting in comp
Awesome
really enjoyed this
Really good videos. Langaker and Mathiesen teach very well, and show modern techniques that work!
This has since become my bread and butter when I play guard! That omoplata detail has been incredible!
Good teach
Nice teachers
Buy this. It is pure fire.
Small details make a big difference! It works well! thank you! This video makes me better than before
good DVD
Great collar and sleeve details
T. and E. created a great open guard series which first introduces you to the positions by pointing out the core concept and keyfacts of colar and sleeve and DLR. Then they build up main attacks and follow ups based on given reactions. They start qith sweeps followed by submussion attacks and/or backtakes. Well combined with X Guard.
I frequently attack the omoplata from collar sleeve guard and this one gives great options if your opponent postures up. Highly recommend.
Some good specs about collar&sleeve and dlr. A lot of the stuff was pretty complex for me but definitely useful to learn.
amazing guard techniques that are unorthodox compared to generic jitsu
Fantastic series on the open guard. Littered with tips and details that will make your collar sleeve and de la Riva so much more difficult to pass and offensively dangerous. Personally found Espen Mathiesen segments to be a little better explained, but could person preference! Grab it. Itβll expand your knowledge in the open guard for sure.
Good Collar Sleeve
Great instructional.
After watching them demolish the UK team at Gi Squads comp. I wanted to learn. This instructional has all their major attacks from guard
Incredibly well explained. Fantastic technical breakdowns. Next level open guard game.
