A note from Matt:
I have to say Christian did a superb job editing this set! It is by far my best looking product to date.
Also, I watched the material Christian captured, which includes some of my best stuff. . .like our MMA guard drills (anti-ground and pound). Which is perhaps my most popular subject. As well as some really good gi and no gi attacks, breaking posture, attacking combat base, use of the "safety position" in the guard, dealing with a standing attacker in your guard. . .and all kinds of stuff.
There is also some very nice segments featuring BJJ black belt Michael Chapman on taking the back. And a good head and arm sequence.
There is no doubt you will find some drills or movements that are high percentage, and probably new to you.
If you like SBGi material at all I am confident you will love this set. And it also reflects the type of product we will be marketing in the future. As well as the direction we will be working towards when we shoot series 3 in a few Months.
For those who don't want to order through the toll free line now, I will drop a note when the online store has the product.
Also, just a note. Mike has moved on to another job and we wish him well. The new manager for SBG Productions is Molly, and I think you will find the customer service to now be second to none. She does a great job, and can help answer any questions you may have.
Enjoy the day!
