Leave no chance of escape with the Double Sleeve Open Guard!
Give your open guard an OVERHAUL with Jonathan Thomas.
What Will You Learn?
The Double Sleeve Open Guard instructional is packed with more than just techniques. Many instructionals give you techniques, but no gameplan. A major difference with Jonathan Thomas’s approach is that he dives into the theory and concepts that have helped him win several IBJJF tournaments.
The Double Sleeve Open Guard is such a tricky guard because it takes away your opponent’s ability to grab you! By controlling both sleeves you free up the ability to use your feet to further enhance your control over your opponent. So who can this guard benefit? EVERYONE!
You don’t have to be tall, strong, flexible, or fast! You simply need to understand when and where to put your limbs to become an aggressive guard player. One of the major benefits to the Double Sleeve Open Guard is that you will be able to launch multiple attacks at all times. This makes passing the guard quite the endeavor!
Right about the time when your opponent gets frustrated with being trapped in your Double Sleeve Open Guard web is when they will make a mistake. Waiting for them are tricky techniques like the Wheel Sweep, that Jon uses to catch his opponent slipping!
Once you get the hang of the basics, Jon keeps the evolution of your Double Sleeve Open Guard going with more advanced variants. As you progress Thomas will show you how to incorporate other aspects of your Jiu-Jitsu. Lasso guard and spider guard are both easily accessible through the Double Sleeve grips. If you think you felt control before, wait until you start to use your feet!
Double Sleeve Open Guard By Jon Thomas packs in the details that will keep you covered from white to black belt….and BEYOND!
