What Will You Learn?
If you have been paying attention the Closed Guard has seen a surge in use at ALL levels of combat. Jiu-Jitsu and MMA have surely seen it’s fair share of adaptations to the closed guard and its effectiveness. For sometime people have shifted away from this classically effective position because they lost the ability to be offensive, with The Closed Guard Compendium you can bring back the effectiveness of this position that put Jiu-Jitsu on the map!
Matt Thornton is the founder of SBG international and is a black belt under Chris Haueter. In The Closed Guard Compendium, Matt provides 45 lessons dedicated to sharpening your closed guard. Matt takes a unique approach in this instructional. After demonstrating a technique Matt takes a step back and has his demo team step in. This allows Thronton to go deep into the details of every technique. Here you get to see common mistakes as they unfold, and Matt is able to use his expertise to show you how to fix them.
The Closed Guard Compendium dives deep on creating advantageous angles of attack. Sometimes instructionals can breeze over what actually makes the technique work. That is not the case here, with three decades of Jiu-Jitsu experience Matt knows a thing-or-two about making techniques work. What’s even better is you don’t have to be crazy strong or flexible. The Closed Guard Compendium covers how to create angles and situations that maximize your leverage.
Re-define your Closed Guard. Once you understand how to approach and attack from the Closed Guard, you will start to look at the position in an all-new light. Thornton will cause a shift in perspective and your game will benefit greatly from it!
