Very good but advanced
Bought this as a 6-month white belt and honestly a lot went over my head on first watch. Now that I'm a blue belt I'm rewatching it and it makes so much more sense. The content is exceptional but you might want at least 6+ months of training before diving in.
Best guard instructional on BJJ Fanatics, period
I've been doing no-gi for 6 years and this single-handedly fixed my bottom game. The seated guard section is the best thing I've ever watched. Gordon shows you a complete system for fighting from a seated position — entries to butterfly, SLX, full X, and how to chain them all together.
The butterfly guard bible
Gordon's approach to butterfly is different from Marcelo's but equally effective in its own way. Very systematic — he starts with grip fighting principles and builds up to full sweeping sequences. The SLX transitions are butter smooth. Competed with this material and won 3 matches by sweep.
