So much contents, I will be going over this for a long time
There is so much here that it is hard to summarize. As Lachlan explains in the introduction, this video series is best used to help troubleshoot areas where you have having trouble retaining guard. But since I am still quite new to bjj (started less than a year ago), I am gradually slogging my way through and picking up lots of ideas that are helping me learn guard retention and basic bjj movement patterns. This is an excellent series that will help you a develop a solid foundation so that you can pursue a more aggressive style of guard play knowing that you will probably be able to recover if things go wrong.
100% needed if you play outside position guards. Mountains of content with just the right way to explain in order to make the information comprehensive.
great content.
No one can pass my guard now
This series is a must have for anyone. Such a wealth of knowledge from Lachlan and Ari.
I did not even finished volume 1 that I got compliments from some blue belts and white belts for my guard recovery & retention (currently white belt 3 stripes level)
Lots of details and emphasis on movements
Fantastic Video! It is very helpful video.
One of the best instructionals around
Excellent reference
Never get your guard passed again
Exactly what I was looking for in terms of guard retention as someone new to the sport.
The instructional covers all the necessary details and techniques to be successful at guard retention, now I think I have a whole library!
Great instructional
This set contains a lot of concepts and movements to learn and drill, but appears to contain all you could ever need to avoid getting your guard passed.
I just bought this instructional, can't wait to go trought. What i can say from skimming all the titles, it's absolutely massive, the bible of Guard Retention. A must have for anyone serious about guard retention. Thank you bjjfanatics for spreading this knowledge, you're the best !
All the info on guard retention you need
Very improve my guard retention.
glad I bought this series, patching a lot of holes in my game
So many key details that are preventing my guard getting passed I highly rate the whole series.
Just got into this and as someone who is only just starting to play open guard this seems like it will be ideal to prevent getting smushed by the bigger guys. Nice to have Gi and Nogi breakdown and as methodical as ever from laughlan
So many small details that are just gold for retaining your guard. love the fact that it's a mix of gi and nogi as well.
GREAT CONTENT. VERY THOROUGH. WELL WORTH THE PRICE
thanks
