After almost 6 months of planning, filming and editing Spider Guard Masterclass is now ready for release!
I’m biased of course, but I think that this is an absolutely amazing project. It’s an A to Z reference guide for the Spider Guard, which is arguably the most dominant form of open guard in modern BJJ.
Checking out this instructional is also risk free: if you don’t absolutely love it, then I’ll buy it back from you anytime in the first year!
You can click here to get the full story, but for now here’s a list of every technique we cover in the set
DVD 1 – Understanding Spider Guard
Volume 1 of Spider Guard Masterclass goes into detail about the exact grips, techniques and drills you need to create pressure and control your opponent. This will give you a rock solid foundation for every one of the Spider Guard variations we’ll be covering later in the set.
In addition you’ll also get detailed breakdowns of the ‘heavy hitter’ submissions in the Spider Guard – the omoplata and triangle attacks – including how to shut down and/or bypass the most common counters and escapes for these submissions. With this material you’ll be able to keep on attacking your opponent no matter how he tries to defend.
