Defensive Tactics In The guard by Neil Melanson

Build a Better Guard

Coach Neil is my go to! The explanation of positioning has helped instantly. He created a mindset change. Neil’s techniques are timeless and efficient. BJJFanatics has brought another awesome instructional to the table.

Another outstanding instructional of Neil Melanson. The principles and concepts are mainly shown out of closed guard. To make it better to understand he shows the same principles and grips out of standing. The given techniques are easy to get and kept simple. He goes over every main aspect inside the guard and how to avoid compromising or get back to neutral with clear paths. Highly recommend!

You’ll Never Go Wrong With Neil

I’m like a broken record whenever I review a Melanson instructional. His outside-the-box approach to grappling, coupled with his concise, concept-based instruction, will make you think differently about your game. As I learn more about BJJ, I didn’t want to be one of those players with little understanding of closed guard tactics—in this instructional, Melanson delivers a treasure trove of essential concepts you can apply immediately to your defensive game when you’re caught on someone’s guard. Yet another standout from the Ground Marshall.
