Buy this if to never have your guard passed again
this instructional is a gem. your defensive bottom game will greatly benefit from this. always been a fan of the Ribeiros and followed their instructional from the really begin... Xande is like a good wine, the older the better. Highly recommended with his “paired” instructional.
Great video
I've been lucky enough to attend Xande's seminar on this topic and the information in these videos is just as good. Nothing was left out. Of course, meeting the guy and rolling with him is the real treat but if you want to improve your game this course is gold.
Instructional very useful, practical and effective. A very must have.
the concept alone will immediately improve your game. Instructor will then teach you the mechanics and then techniques to use in practice. Excellent video!
Love it.
Great solo-drills and concepts, elbow to knee-connection etc. Its the stuff that when you are aware of and apply more consiously it starts making a diffrence.
Great concepts. Has improved my defense!
This video series is fundamentally in line with the philosophy Saulo Riberio put into "Jiu Jitsu University" with "the goal of the white belt is survival." Professor Xande Ribiero covers the fundamental positioning, framing, and options in depth and in a way that new white belts looking to improve their guard player game. You'll still get crushed, and your guard passed by the colored belts, but applying Professor Xande's concepts to your game now will make your time on the mats more valuable in that practicing sound fundamentals builds a more solid foundation for progress. Well worth the purchase, and time to watch and review. Remember BJJ isn't about who is good, it is about who sticks with it.
What’s a great instructional, complements his other instructional “ side closed guard” definitely recommend.
Diamond Concept opens a new window to your guard game, Xande is a great teacher. Must have!
Xande's approach is time tested and he's a great instructor with solid points on improving my guard retention --
Diamond concept with framing is amazing, this has already improved my understanding to the next level in defense, with little waste of my energy in my efforts. I recommend this selection to anyone that wants to improve the defense game.
Great concepts
Very informative
This can be put to use right away. I am a big proponent of getting back to my knees and attaining top position but sometimes it may take too much energy. I love Xande’s simple concepts and he thoroughly explains and demonstrates from different angles. Love the frame, knee shield, elongate, vortex terms. Thank you!
This is another must have for anyone that is serious about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.. Everything that is covered can be applied at every belt level. Some times the most basic things can be applied and drilled with little time..
Great concepts from one of the best guard retention players in the game. I feel my defense has jumped up a pretty good amount with this instructional.
Xande is one of the best competitors & teachers in BJJ. He breaks down the concepts in a clear easy to follow way. The video itself is structured & organized. A must have for people who struggle with guard retention like myself! OSS!
Good framing and knee shield reference.
As an older practitioner this technique has helped my guard retention & I expend less energy. Easy to follow & highly recommended.
Timeless technique. Well explained.
I really like the content and way Xande goes through it methodically what suits my way of learning as well as teaching. Love small hacks he shares to each concept. Honestly well self invested money and time 👊�
As with most white belts my guard retention is horrible. Xande breaks down what is necessary to elevate this part of my game in great detail. Would defin Recommend
