SPIDER GUARD MASTERCLASS APP 1 OF 5: Learn the hidden principles and strategies for a modern BJJ guard domination.  

ABOUT THIS APP

In this app you'll learn exactly how world class BJJ competitors control and submit their opponents with Spider Guard.  Crazy flexibility and athleticism are NOT required.

With these easy-to-use techniques and strategies you'll keep your opponents off-balance and set up your own sweeps and submissions.  This is a critical aspect of an aggressive guard, because if your opponent is off-balance and on the defensive all the time then he can't really launch his own guard pass attempts.

You'll learn detailed gripping strategies to control your opponent, lock him down, and make it even more difficult for him to pass your guard or escape your attacks.

You'll get the core drills that will make the spider guard an effective position, allowing you to respond quickly and instinctively to your opponent.

In this app you'll ALSO get amazing gameplans for the two most effective Spider Guard submissions, the Omoplata and the Triangle Choke.  

These two attacks show up again and again when world class competitors use the Spider Guard, and they're two of the highest percentage submission techniques out there.

You'll get the blueprints for these submissions.  The adjustments and details that make them work against much bigger opponents.  You'll also learn the combinations, counters and follow-ups to effortlessly flow around your opponent's defences and submit him no matter how he tries to defend.

Volume 1 of Spider Guard Masterclass goes into detail about the exact grips, techniques and drills to create pressure and control your opponent.  This will give you a rock solid foundation for every one of the Spider Guard techniques we’ll be covering in the other apps in this series

Much more than just a random collection of techniques, this is a competition-proven system for building an aggressive, attack-oriented guard.
