I love all of the small details that Ariel goes over.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Great instructional, very clear and comprehensive
I discovered Ariel thanks to his Guard Retention DVD with Lachlan Giles. His teaching style really convinced. In this instructional, Ariel explains both the techniques and the concept so we understand how it works and why. He gives lots of details, I was able to apply very usefull advices from the first video. Ariel often refers to the weight distribution and the off balance we can create in each position, and different options according to our partner reaction. The summaries are very useful too. His pedagogy is on top!
