Marcelo Garcia's X-Guard

Post by Grandpa's Spells »

Flipped through this in Barnes & Noble. Not qualified to judge its content, but VB put out a very well laid out product. It's organized well and has much better detail than lots of MA instructionals I've seen. Covers a lot of material.

A great feature: at the top of each page, there are two boxes "Gi" and "No gi" with a thumbs up or down in each, indicating whether the given technique is effective with/without a gi.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.
