Nice basic side control escape info from Joel Bouhey.
I own a lot of side control escapes videos. Still, I feel like I learned a lot from this instructional. It primarily focuses on guard retention and guard recovery. Most of my other videos focus on reversals. I like this one even more that the first white belt escapes video Joel did. It was pretty good too. I recommend it.
Very important fundamental principles
As promised, a solid white belt course for side control defense
A good variety of side control escapes/guard retention.
Good bjj fundamentals.
simple and easy to understand
Short input, big outcome! I like!
great fundamentals.
learned lots of good fundamental defence advice.
This instructional is worth 10x more the asking price. I’ve learned some incredible escapes from this that have gotten me out some bad situations lol. Highly recommend.
great training for a white belt! and i'm sure it will serve me for years to come
You know we're on the receiving end of the "smashing!" Our goal is to survive. If you are just starting out or new to BJJ, this resource is a great supplement to what you get at your gym. Learn it, know it, live it!
Great for starters, side control is a really difficult position to be in as a white belt and Joel is doing a really good job explaining the dynamics.
I enjoyed volume 1 so much I had to purchase volume 2. The depth of understanding and details is truly impressive and he breaks down all of the movement in a way that only an expert in the art with a Jiu Jitsu can do. Joel clearly demonstrates these key techniques that everyone should be mastering from beginners to advanced practitioners. I highly recommend it.
Very helpful instructional for white belts. As a whit belt I spend a lot of time on defense so with Joel’s breakdown I can retain guard or work my escape. Great book and instructional
Great
Helpful for not getting smashed.
I’ve purchased two of Joel’s video series and they have both helped my game immensely. I really struggle with this sport. I am not very good at it. But the details presented in this video series have really opened my eyes and my thinking. It reinforces what my instructor teaches and provides additional insight into things that I need to know as a white belt. Thank you Joel!
This instructional video was great. It's worth the money, and the five stars are fully deserved. If you are starting, you should definitely purchase it.
Very helpful
