Today I learned a bunch of guard passing concepts and what the word "Heuristic" means. Thanks Lach!

[danythegrappler]

This is a guard passing gold mine. Excellent stuff coach Giles!!

[SoyChemist]

Absolutely fantastic! Please consider making more content in this Concepts & Heuristics format!!!

[chrisrdba]

This should be required viewing before actual techniques on guard passing. Absolutely awesome!

[davidmccormick]

This is incredibly helpful. I am a white belt, and am frustrated with the move-of-the-day approach to most classes. A more conceptual approach like this helps me to be more dynamic in rolls and figure out what specific techniques work for me.

These wardrobe changes are legendary!!!
Concepts are cool too.

[LadHusbandDad]

I love how cranial your approach is to analyzing techniques. Thank you!

[geraldnasco]
