• Scissor me Timbers

  Neil is a great teacher. Importantly his instructionals are enjoyable to watch and engaging. He doesn't fill the tape with fluff, just hardcore techniques that work in MMA and jiu Jitsu.

• Outstanding!

  I bought this a few years ago when I wanted to stop playing closed guard and need an answer. I went to a retreat and met Gokor who played this guard the entire time with success. I bought this due to having info that Neil was a Hayastan black belt. I have a lot of Neil's instructionals and this is the one I find myself reviewing the most. Neil makes this a very complete guard and the attacks are from everywhere. If you are a beginner or advanced you will find this instructional very helpful in your game.

  Always great delivery from Neil. Gave me comfort in a whole new position, confident to get there and operate.

• Top-notch

  Great for MMA & submission grappling. Neil always shows (brutal) techniques you can not find anywhere in that depth. Outstanding if you love his style. Highly recommend.

• Love it!

  I literally have 9 of Coach Melanson's instructionals. Everyone is great. I can't get enough! The scissor guard video flows perfectly with the other guard videos. Thanks to Neil, my guard game is getting better and diverse.

• Improved Ground Game

  There is so much content to review and it's all relevant. I spent the weekend viewing and practicing all these techniques, something that I would not have being able to do in a seminar. I will continue to drill these techniques and also get better in my guard play.

• Scissoring Me Timbers

  I was skeptical of Coach Neil, because of his size. I’m 5”8’ and doubted the things he taught would apply to my body type. I was wrong. Neil breaks techniques, tactics, and concepts down in a way that they become universal. I have purchased many of his instructional products and have been able to use almost anything he presents. I cannot recommend his work enough.
