A must have , for good guard retention, sweep set up , and escapes . One of my favorite dvds .
The concepts taught here are gold. Nothing fancy but super effective. This has definitely helped me get passed a lot less and attack a lot more. A must for beginners and senior students alike.
Most comprehensive defense concept in BJJ !!!!! totally worth the price!! This video include solid concept of defense.
Xande is one of the best, game changer.
This video has been amazing. I was lucky enough to find this instructional early into my white belt. The concepts shown here have been immensely helpful in my progression through green belt. After months of practice with these concepts I am confident enough that I can roll with anyone in my gym up to purple belt and not get tapped out. This instructional has helped me survive on the mat so I can begin to thrive in my rolls. Highly recommend.
Excellent instruction of how a fundamental movement can be expanded into a near universal guard system. Instead of looking for specific solutions to specific problems (giving a man a fish) ,this system allows you to use a simple but very powerful movement in many defensive scenarios (teaching a man to fish).
This instructional is perfect. Simple concepts to improve your game immediately.
Alexander put's his point's across well and show's you a systematic way of having layers of defence your opponent is gonna have to peel away before passing.
Very helpful and this has allowed me to conserve more energy when live rolling especially with the younger guys.
For anyone looking to improve their guard retention and escapes this is the set for you, great concepts, simple to learn, very well explained by one of the best ever. Guaranteed to improve your jiu jitsu. Very pleased with my purchase.
Love his framework process! especially like an older grappler like myself
The diamond concept has opened my eyes to something that can be found almost everywhere. It’s too bad I had to learn it many years into training.
I've watched a lot of Xande previously... this is all of the best concepts & applications of his guard game. No matter your level or age, Xande's techniques can be used & applied by all, that's what makes this pure gold... furthermore, much of what is covered here can be applied to No Gi game.
outstanding video! i was able to start using these principles after watching it once (ie extension, getting my guard back, etc)
Great content, Xande is a great instructor.
I definitely recommend the Diamond concept of Defense. I tested the system in my game and its a concept that will help your game not only on the mat but also for self defense. I'm satisfied for sure with Xande's system and looking forward for future vids! Nice and excellent job:call_me_hand:
A+++
Watched the clips and used it in friendly rolling. Works for me. Ofcourse practise makes it better.
I really like that the same concept is used in a number of different applications. I used it in training and had immediate success with it. I would love to see more instructionals of Xande in the same format (application of the same concept in different situations).
Very good for all practitioners and especially for those who begin. I hope that Xande Ribeiro will continue publishing works with this quality of practical and real information in the future.
This is very good stuff. Xande is very clear and concise. The principals are solid. Highly recommend it.
I love it, Xande is a bad man!
I'm a fan of simple things. When it comes down to it in pressure situations - it's the simple things, the straight forward concepts I can remember and execute. I find Xande's explanations very helpful and his approach fits my style. 10 thumbs up!
I wish I had invested in this years ago. Some basic concepts however the small details make all the difference. Has helped my half guard game immensely
Excellent instructional video on guard retention. Xande goes into great detail to explain the mechanics of his guard retention system
