BJJ Guard Game Formula for Android
There's essential concepts, knowledge techniques, tips & tricks that in almost a year of BJJ I've never been aware of. I know after one viewing of this, and a few additional viewing for certain techniques, my game will be so much better next time I roll. I can't emphasis enough how much this will change my guard game, my sweeps and escapes.
Anyone beginning bjj should get this app.If all beginners were taught the concepts shown on this instructional then more people would stick with bjj!
This app shows the fundamentals of the guard system. Instead of showing guard techniques in a step by step plug and chug format, mr Kesting and Mr. Biernacki explain the theory of how a technique works. This is awesome its the physics behind jiujitsu!
This is such a great instructional app, I have learnt so much, Rob's levers and frames mindset had really hit home with me and it's improving my game immensely!
Whilst you may already apply some of the principles unknowingly, now that they are made clear you can sharpen and use those skills in different positions.
Not a collection of moves but rather a series of concepts which force you to think differently about your guard game. Very helpful and useful. Thanks Rob and Stephan.
Great app. More than just a collection of techniques. A great supplement to go with your regular classes
Great content as always, probably the best guard material I've seen.
really good system level thinking of the bottom game. learned a ton from this app
Awesome app, organized in a helpful way and easy to review.
Another well produced instructional by grapplearts.
Very good series or apps.
Great series
Jiu-Jitsu's obsession in becoming the foremost authority on fighting from a position of weakness has led to a dizzying array of techniques & strategies. The Guard Game app does an amazing job of organizing this information into an impressive taxonomy. As both teacher & student, you basically have lesson plans ready to deliver & review, & the structure in place to easily add more to your growing library of moves. No doubt the best in the series so far.
This is the best guard retention instruction bar none. And like someone else said your Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor will not teach you this stuff so get the app now!
This is the 3rd release in the series. I have been applying some of Rob's advice for a few months based on Youtube videos and as an old man, my preference is to play bottom and absorb my partner/opponents attacks before turning the tables ( that is the plan but of course... ). This is a great app and it takes a very different approach to your typical "cool moves" approach and teaches in a way that Brazilian instructors don't, with much more attention to principles and the underpinnings of technique. I like to think of it as Jiu Jitsu Engineering with theory of structure. My ability to repel an opponent even when they have beaten my legs has been greatly enhanced just with the collar tie. I was able to apply the stiff arm counter to the knee cut the morning after watching the video. This stuff is going to accelerate your progress towards your black belt and raise your standing at the academy. Poppa will have a brand new bag ( of tricks ).
Great information and lots of it! Guard is probably the most complex position and this teaches great fundementals good for anyone to learn and/or review.
Stephan Kesting is the name for quality BJJ instruction. Biernacki and Kesting highlight principles I can remember and practice while sparring. It's helped my guard game already. Thanks!
Only giving this 5* because there is no facility to give 10! Great concept based teaching
I've long been a fan of Stephan & his guests videos but this series of instructionals with Rob, have been amongst the greatest I've ever seen. Well done, you've produced a fine app, guys.
Simply put, if you want to really understand the concepts involved in bjj, this app is a great investment.
Concepts and ideas that can be put to use instantly! I recommend this app to anybody who trains JJ!
Wise words as usual!

The section on guard replacement/ recovery alone is worth the price. I don't usually submit my reviews online as other people are much better at words than me, but for this i have made an exception. This is in my opinion the best BJJ instructional i've purchased in years! The price is a steal! Thanks Stephan and Rob!
