Game changer
A very interesting system to control your opponent while playing open/butterfly guard
Great concept but I do not see it in modern Jiu-jitsu
Very good content. Good details.
This system is great. It gives your opponent the illusion he can still move at first, but he'll be frustrated and surprised soon after. Recommended !
I like short instructionals that present a system and new ideas. This was exactly that and the second time i studied this I was able to catch some valuable insights on other positions as well. Thank you Steve and bjj fanatics for this instructional! I will be implementing this system to my game asap.
works great as an older player. Some interesting ways to overhook and entangle the arms from bottom
Great content!
This is such a well thought out roadmap of grip fighting strategies. Very much recommend for all.
Use a lot of this in my game
Great System that and techniques that the teacher shows in the arm entanglement series. Great concept that as a white belt was easy to grasp. Very good explanation and visual of the technique. Will recommend to others.
This is a great system to have for smaller guys like me. Steve uses solid techniques and focuses on stuff that will actually work instead of teaching stuff for the heck of it. The only downside is that he's a little boring but overall it's a solid purchase.
Steve is a great teacher with an awesome system. Really enjoyed leaning some new concepts.
great arsenal to have.
He has a great take on grips. The witches brew and the ball and chain are excellent!
I've been using the techniques and ideas in this series a lot lately after a recent knee injury and it has really helped my game! It's full of super helpful concepts and will really help you control people and stay safe!
I have watched lots of videos over the years. I have always felt like I needed to drill them to get the concepts to work live. This series I just played with the position and was able to transition easily from bad positions to advanced positions and not really allowing my training partner anything other than lots of frustration. I am excited to develop this into my game and would recommend that you do as well.
This is genuinely one of the best and most interesting instructionals I've purchased from BJJ Fanatics. Lots of great techniques and very well filmed and produced. I do think bits of it require good hip mobility but that's something you should be working on regardless in my opinion. Overall fantastic!
This has been such an amazing resource for me to learn the vitally important gripping concepts and strategies that I can really frame the rest of my jiu jitsu game around. Professor Steve is a phenomenal teacher and. has even been a huge help via messaging in addition to this DVD. I can't recommend it enough.
