Professor Williams really does an exhaustive analysis of this position, and really helps connect it with positions that come before and after. A very detailed way to look at how this system works in the overall scheme.
Instructor Shawn Williams is excellent. You can buy this instructional with confidence; it will certainly help you on your Jiu-Jitsu journey. In addition to teaching the shin-to-shin guard in depth, he also focuses on the bear trap.
Great overview and details of the shin to shin position
great details
Great instructional all around. So much to take away from it, I'll be coming back to it for a long time
Awesome detail and really great camera angles
Great detail and I love all the camera angles
A thorough walkthrough of the shin to shin guard, entries, common problems, plus differences between gi and no gi, as well as a host of positional attacks from wrestle ups to SLX, X-guard, bear trap and cross ashi entries
Great details on useful techniques.
The practitioner demonstrates a wide variety of transitions from numerous bottom positions, going beyond merely explaining techniques from the Shin-to-Shin position. Their change to the X-Guard and its applications (sweeps, submissions, or further transitions) are particularly excellent. This material is considered the bible of open-guard play.
Excellent details and technique!

Extremely helpful series that bridges the gap between guard retention and half guard.
Great instruction by a great instructor. It will improve your guard game.
Awesome series!! Excellent instructional video series.
Great insights and details playing shin to shin
I love this lecture
I tried this shin to shin into single leg X a lot but felt like I would get stuck. This helped me evolve my game and give me more options, and even better, helped me to enter the dark side of attacking legs.
Love Shawns teaching style
