• Another Great One from Neil

  Once again a video from Neil that I really enjoyed. The Way of The Goose is a great addition to his Headhunter series, with lots of fine details and little things that make a big difference. Neil is honestly one of the best grapplers I know, and every time he puts something out there are new techniques and concepts that are just spot on. What I love is that he doesn’t just show techniques, he explains the why behind them, the little shifts in position, the way to think through control and transitions. You can tell there’s real depth behind everything he teaches. If you liked Headhunter, this one gives you even more to work with. Definitely worth watching.

• Head Hunting 2.0

  I have been training for over 20 years and I have always been technically good. But every video from Neil not only shows me new techniques and entries but above all also nuances in techniques that I always use, making them even more effective or small changes that have an impact on my entire game. This video is no different. Once again... absolutely superb!

• The way of the goose

  This video is based on a particular finishing detail, but it has a lot of chokes and entries in it. A lot like how his modified guillotine video was on a bunch of entries to different guillotine type chokes, this is a bunch of entries to chokes you can use this finishing detail on.

  Daniel N.January 29, 2025United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Details

  Love the details and already seeing some growth

  Jesse V.January 29, 2025United StatesVerified buyerPurple belt4-6 yrs training

• Useable in no time

  This gave me a great option to use with very little practice. Quite effective without even getting all the nuances right.

• Way of the goose

  Neale first of all is really funny and makes learning the chokes fun. This video gives the extra you need to choke out your opponent. Glad I bought this!

  totally changed my perception of front headlocks.

• The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg

  Coach Neil's "goose" modification to your chokes will add stank and brutality to your techniques. As always, Melanson deep-dives into a lot of things you think you know, like the arm-in guillotine, and provides us with a ton of breakdowns and details to tighten up your subs. As with any Melanson instructional, his insights and experience are worth their weight in gold.
