• Side Control Game Changer

  As a black belt, I pass guard relatively easily on most ppl but it's still tough to submit brown and black belts unless I can get to the back or mount. This instructional was the key to unlocking side control submissions for every defensive position. Thank you Professor! Alliance eu sou!

• Side Control Attack Mastery from Professor Fabio Gurgel

  Professor Fabio Gurgel provides his deep knowledge of how to control and attack from side control. He offers attacks based on the position the near side arm and the far side arm. He refers to if your opponent's arm is placed on your far side hip or near side hip. He shows primary attack/submission options and connects it to follow up attacks and teaches you how to switch in between them. He also shows how to regsin control when your opponent was ablecto progress with his escaping attempts. All this is underlined by getting taught how to keep maximum pressure on your opponent all the time andcthe principle to attack the easiest accessable submission first and switch to another when needed. He always points out one to two key details per technique so that you really able to catch it immediately. ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE
