Amazing video
Help me alot with my frames and escapes from the bottom
Great concepts!!
So many details, concepts , tricks and micro adjustments that will improve your escapes.
This is a good course that boils down the central ideas you need for defense and escapes.
Good
Great fundamentals
Great instructional . Everything is really well explained. Explanations are maybe a bit repetitive at times but the techniques are really good. He likes to keep things simple, and his techniques are simple, yet very effective. That's the way I like it too.
Excellent detail from the man ! Escape system that works !
Great resource!
It's the basics that work man
It's the basics that work man!
Excellent, a new set of basics
Phenomenal basic movements that translate to the real roll.
dope stuff from xande
The diamond concept changed my entire defensive game.
Really good to boost your defense
Drills and fundamental escapes with key details you are missing
mobility drills are surprising revealing about intricate details
hip movements for each solution, explained both alone and with a partner. The basis for all future work
It was such a well structured video with tons of knowledge. It included breakdowns of the movements and exactly when and where to use them. The diamond connections are the way to go!
Side control and mount escapes
techniques that should be basic are explored in depth by one of the leading experts
very interesting works and details from positions that are of interest to both beginners and experts
Very elegant!
as above. getting older in this game you have to play safe and effective. this is great advice about body positioning to that effect
I really feel like I have a strong base of knowledge to execute pin escapes after watching this video. Xande also does a good job of pointing out the similarities of the escapes when the top player is in various positions. I've rewatched this video many times in various orders to really cement the ideas.
Great instructional
I realized the importance of the good security aspect, so I bought this course, and the previous diamond. I am happy with the purchase, and have been building a game using this system for several years now. The only thing I would like to see here is a move away from the knee on the belly.
hip escapes
Grandes conceptos de una de las mejores guardias la historia

I owe it to this instructional on greatly improving my mount and side control escapes, through concepts and positioning

Ecellent instructional
Very useful. I recommend
Great instructional and great teacher. The exercises are really usefull.
The accompanies exercises are a great addition. useful right away.
A great video especially for those new to the sport on how to create angles and control space.
Very detailed.
Explanations are detailed and include common mistakes to avoid, making it an invaluable resource for individuals looking to improve their bottom game.
Really helping my defence. The exercises are a great addition for building the muscle memory for these techniques.
Amazing course. Very thorough and detailed. Helped a lot with my progression.
Concepts and techniques that seek for comparison. Broken down and demonstrated with different technical solutions for specific positions. So really applicable for everyone!
Xande's step-by-step guidance makes the techniques accessible, emphasizing both technical precision and timing.
Learning defence and escapes from best one in the world ? Nothing else to say! Great techniques, awesome principles. Very well described.
Definitely game changing... this video has helped me open up my game. I definitely don't get stuck in bad positions as much after learning the Diamond Guard and how to use it.
Xande Ribeiro is a great teacher and is laying out the diamond concept with great details. Just follow his lead and you will be a master of the elbow escape. I implement a lot of his techniques into my bjj which help my whole bottom game a lot. So I can highly recommend this instructional.
Instantly added these concepts to warm ups and positional escapes. If you're struggling with explosive concepts from the bottom, this series is an excellent guide through the hip escape and framings concepts. Easy to implement moves, improves your game or your instruction.
