What Will You Learn?

Unlock a new level of control and wrap your next opponent up in lapels, with this new guard instructional series from Alex Huddleston. Attack in new and creative ways by using the gi to the highest levels, sweeping and submitting while your opponent has no idea what you’re doing. Take modern positions like squid guard and learn what makes them work and how anyone can use lapel guards for their best jiu-jitsu, with the help of Easton BJJ coach “The Shaved Gorilla” Alex Huddleston.

Alex has an entire system for playing closed guard that is built around his special version of the squid guard. The lapels act like a safety net, letting him work without having to worry about his opponent’s best attacks. Now you can use Alex’s secrets of the gi to work for sweeps and submissions without ever needing to break your own grip, with Alex’s 4-volume Lapel Guard Blueprint.

The lapel guard is a way to maximize your leverage and maximize your results against bigger, stronger, younger grapplers. You can slow the fight down and use the techniques Alex shows here to attack with dynamic moves. With flower sweeps, triangle chokes, ezekiels, armbars and more at the tip of your fingers, you have tons of strong moves to use while your opponent is wrapped up like a mummy. Alex’s full blueprint for how to connect these moves into powerful combinations is now available for anyone to learn and use.

Alex is a thorough and detail oriented coach, teaching out of Colorado’s Easton BJJ. “The Shaved Gorilla” is a BJJ black belt and former MMA fighter, competing in Bellator’s heavyweight division (with a 2-1 record). Alex is a big man who moves with the technique and fluidity of a much smaller guy, and because of that he is never relying on his size. This unique blend of technique and size has given him a unique style in BJJ that he is now sharing across 4 volumes.
