What Will You Learn?

The X Guards are some of the most versatile positions in BJJ - applicable in both gi and no gi THEY WORK.  All of the X Guards, Single Leg X, Modified X and traditional X involve getting underneath your opponent so once you become proficient in the position you will find yourself sweeping MUCH bigger opponents easily. They are also excellent for getting into popular leg locking positions. 

Aaron is a black belt under Bernardo Faria, and an instructor at The Bernardo Faria Academy. He has been refining his x guard system for over a decade. In that time he has developed a high-level system that applies to ALL levels of Jiu-Jitsu. He is a smaller grappler who also received his brown belt from Marcelo Garcia. 

The X Guards have exploded with popularity but many people lack the technical depth that you need to truly understand and master these positions. Aaron is an OUTSTANDING instructor with a meticulous approach to producing these series. He spends month planning the structure and technique so YOU can EASILY learn. See why thousands have bought his previous material and subscribed to his YouTube.
