The Pillars Open Guard Mastery System by Stephen Whittier
Master The Open Guard With Clear-Cut Controls, Sweeps, Submissions, Back Takes, And More From Stephen Whittier!
Stephen Whittier is a 4th degree BJJ black belt and has a unique open guard system that is highly effective for grapplers of ALL levels.
Utilize effective open guard concepts that will allow you to shut down your opponent’s passing attempts as you set up your offense.
Develop go-to attacks from both inside and outside foot positions.
Learn preventive open guard maintenance that allows you to avoid guard passes and keeps you in control of the action.
Discover late-stage guard retention that works against DEEP passes that are usually the end of the road for guard players.
Stephen Whittier adds another CLASSIC to “The Pillars” series of instructionals, this time centered around the Open Guard!
The key to Stephen’s system is to constantly threaten opponents with dominant grips, sweeps, submissions, and back takes. If opponents have to constantly defend instead of focus on guard passing, your job from the open guard becomes much more manageable. Develop a threatening environment for opponents with endless attacks from the open guard!
