Return To The X Verse by Chris Newman
Return To The X Verse is Chris Newman’s complete blueprint for building an unbreakable lower-body guard centered around single leg X, X-guard, and shin-to-shin
Instead of isolated techniques, this series teaches a connected system—how to enter, control, off-balance, sweep, and transition seamlessly as your opponent resists.
This is not flashy theory or outdated sport jiu-jitsu. It’s a pressure-tested approach designed for today’s fast, scramble-heavy game—equally effective in no-gi and gi.
Chris breaks down the subtle details that actually make these positions work: angle management, inside positioning, weight distribution, and grip choices that shut down common counters before they start.
Modern no-gi grappling is built on leg entanglements—but most people only scratch the surface.
