Clamp is a life saver
It's be amazing to watch Bodoni teaching clamp guard. It's a really good way to create distance, control posture, attacks: omoplata, triangle, kimuras, strike from the bottom ( self defense). I'm so glad to learn a lot of details from BJJ Fanatics.
This is one of my favorite courses. Giancarlo teaches in a succinct, clear manner.
I really enjoy Giancarlo way of teaching. Breaks down concept in simple way
Excellent. Well structured explanation of purpose of the clamp, entries and submissions, all integrayed into manageable understandable chapters, Recommended i really learned a lot
I really love Bodoni way of teaching. He is super clear in his explanations and does not go too much into the details while keeping a certain fair amount. Furthermore, there are not a lot of clamp instructionnal
All of Bodoni’s products are solid. Rooted in danaher’s system, he puts his instruction concise and detailed
Excellent instructional covering one of the best attacking positions in the sport. The clamp is widely underutalized in high level competition outside of team Danaher, which is truly a shame. Get this instructional as a base to a highly effective attacking position.
The clamp has become the north star in my BJJ game
Awesome instructional! Very helpful against strong pressure passers.
good
