good details
Very good does simple transitions between very effective submissions together with great control positions such as top lock and clamp,
a interesting and digestible way to play guard
Maximize a very controlling position with the explanations by Prof Glick
The best thing about this DVD is the handfighting. The handfighting system Brian Glick used makes all his fancy guardplay immediately accessible, and I can't believe I've been doing jiujitsu all these years without it.
really informative and well structured with easy to understand instructions
My first Brian Glick instructional and it certainly won't be the last! Amazing.
