I learned a lot
All of this stuff, it’s so well into what I’ve already been taught from John Dan and Gordon Ryan on open guard. It even fits well with the Giancarlo material too. Amazing details.

Amazing Detailed teaching. One of my fave reference video
Very detailed
A lot of information. Which always comes backs to the main idea.
Detailed study of modern guard play from a “maximizing” approach. 10/10 recommend.
Dealing with a pressure passer has been challenging and this program has been very helpful.
Great detail on basic strategies that work.
Great instructional that helped me go from clueless to comfortable. The details and explanations in the videos are extremely informative.
Delivers a clear, systematic approach to modern open guard, focusing on core principles that improve retention and attack efficiency. Concise, conceptual, and highly detailed.

Amazing as always
Such solid content, amazing
Amazing
Interesting instructional
Having many of the "Enter the System" courses i wasnt sure if "new wave" would be a re-tread but its stronger emphasis on tactics has been incredible to ingest.
I have numerous videos from the enter the system series so wasnt sure if this would be a retread but the added tactical nature of this course makes the previous courses so much more helpful
Good
very useful
Very good base for open guard, together with the other volume. Leg locks are a huge part in this methodology, consider it.
