There is so much information on this DVD that it’s sometimes overwhelming. I have gone over the first couple of sequence and have taking notes. I was able to hit the collar choke to arm bar the first time I tried it. Lately I’ve been working on open guard and this DVD is full of information that can help anyone on all level of BJJ. The only issues I have with this DVD, is that it’s strictly a GI DVD. There isn’t too much on here that will cross-over to NoGI, but that’s all right with me. This DVD is a must have for any BJJer that wants to improve their GI guard game.
