Side Control Mastery
Very well explained
Rock Solid Jiu-jitsu!
The difference between being good and being great is having a solid grasp of Fundamental position and a systematic strategy for pinning and attacking. Prof. Eliot is a great competitor and one of the best coaches out there! In this set he give the information and gameplan to build a rock-solid foundation in Side Control position that works great on its own... and is also a solid platform to use to continue growing your side control system as you get better. This is one of those 'Must Haves' sets. Well done, well explained and presented.

Good systematic explanations for beginners
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great Side Control Instructional
This instructional is great at explaining how to maintain the side control position along with how to deal with common reactions from your opponent. Each position that is taught leads into a submission or another dominant position such as the back take. If you're looking at building your side control game, I highly recommend this instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Being a beginner, I don't
Being a beginner, I don't have the refinement in positions I would like. Elliot breaks it down simple for me, and I'm able to maintain side control better because I'm not blindly trying.

Great
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Very Thorough Explanation, Great Key Details
I'd only heard of Eliot Marshall as a competitor, but I was very impressed by his level of detail in his explanations. As a smaller guy and a relative beginner to the sport, I struggle a lot to hold people down in this position, but I feel like Eliot did a very good job of highlighting the most important details in every variation of the position attack without losing control of the position. I'm just now finishing volume 1, but I can't recommend this enough, especially to beginner/intermediate grapplers
