Williams Guard - Traps and Submissions - 3 DVD Set
I had the opportunity to take some privates with Shawn a few years ago. Literally changed my game. One of the best instructors I've ever had the privilege to train with.
Just bought the set ups. Some really good details in this. I like that this guard is so easily transferable to mma. It's been helping me lots lately and hopefully this instructional will help me more!

Did you go over the Williams guard in your private?
I just did two privates with Shawn on Monday and Tuesday of this week, while I was out in Los Angeles for work-related stuff. He is a truly amazing teacher, and literally EVERYTHING that he showed me has worked yesterday and tonight in class. He has a way of converting problems that I think are huge into fairly simple solutions that I can't believe I didn't think of on my own.
You don't have to be flexible to use the Williams Guard. At first I thought you do, but you just have to escape your hip a little to the side you want to work on, and that will allow you to get your leg up high enough without being very flexible.
I picked up the DVD while I was out there, and it's excellent. Anyone who can get the DVD - and train with Shawn at some point - should do it. Once you train with him once, you'll make it a point to go back again.
