• Succinct and Well structured.

  I found the instructional useful but a little disappointed that there wasn't a greater level of exploration of the X guard, particularly leg lock entries. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to develop a more nuanced guard game in No Gi

• Modern X guard Jon Satava

  Very creative, great techniques, only issue Is that as someone who is big and experienced, I wish there wee 2-3 good entries rather than just going for 10-15 moves that assume your opponent fell out o the sky and into the x guard. Dude is very good from here and is fluid between technique. Ashi Kari is a great follow up, yet I think for the average person entries are imperative. One y

• Clear and step by step - x-guard explained.

  I think he really decodes the X-guard and for sure made me understand the angles and how to make it more effective. I think he breaks down the components of x-guard with excellent explanation and really gives good hints on how to. Also different situations that will evolve your xl-guard position/ing. Well worth the buy - you won't regret it.
