Ever wondered how you can use the K Guard to its fullest potential? No need to wonder, as you can now bank on the experience of Mateusz Szczeciński and his detail-oriented approach to BJJ tactics to turn this notion into reality.
The Shotgun K Guard Mateusz Szczeciński DVD offers more than just a collection of techniques to attack from the most offensive guard in the history of Jiu-Jitsu. It delivers several different versions of the guard — one of them brand new — creating the most elaborate trap system I’ve seen from the guard in 15 years of grappling.
The Ultimate No-Gi Guard
A guard in No-Gi that allows you to attach effectively to an opponent, prevent them from standing up, and tangle them in a way that allows you to attack both upper and lower body sounds too good to be true. In fact, it was — until someone came up with the K Guard.
These days, there’s hardly a high-level match that ends without at least one of the grapplers turning to the K Guard. And why wouldn’t you? It offers quick sweeps, even quicker submissions, and is easy to use to secure the back mount. All in all, it has everything you want from a guard, be it Gi or No-Gi.
Still, people tend to have issues with the guard, as there are certain specifics that are far easier to figure out when someone is guiding you than when you have to experiment on your own. Stuff like knee placement, scoop grip tactics and alternatives, and off-balancing are just some of the things perfectly explained in the Mateusz Szczeciński K Guard DVD.
Polaris Ruler Mateusz Szczeciński
You know the name, you’ve seen his game, and you definitely do not want to be on the receiving end of his ankle locks. Mateusz is one of the baddest lightweight grapplers in the world at the moment, and he is only gaining momentum.
The Polaris 170 lb champion and UWW European Grappling champion, representing the notorious Gorilla team from Warsaw, has an impressive record of 56 wins and 11 losses, which is only bound to increase — mostly in the win section.
A submission hunter by trait, Mateusz has been forcing people to tap in panic with all kinds of leg locks, earning a 91% submission win rate in the process. He is particularly nasty with his ankle locks, but it is not the finish that makes them so effective — it’s the control.
That’s exactly what the Polish No-Gi standout now shares in the Shotgun K Guard Mateusz Szczeciński DVD.
Shotgun K Guard Mateusz Szczeciński DVD Review
This Mateusz Szczeciński DVD is a No-Gi instructional, organized in four different volumes of varying length. The video material runs for almost four hours and spares no details on the subject of the K Guard:
Part 1 – K Guard Basics
The first part of the Shotgun K Guard Mateusz Szczeciński DVD contains more info than some full instructionals I’ve seen on the subject. Szczeciński does an incredible job breaking down the essentials of the guard and putting them back together into a system.
In this part, you’ll understand why the guard works, how to position your knees, optimal grip configurations, and how to use scoop grips. He then launches into examples that include backside and frontside K Guard options, as well as supine applications — in other words, an overview of what follows.
Part 2 – Backside Attacks & Transitions
Part two of the Mateusz Szczeciński K Guard DVD focuses strictly on the backside K Guard variation, which, as those already familiar with the position know, is a hub for inside heel hooks and Reverse Aoki Locks.
The 50/50 position features as the natural follow-up — or better said, stabilization point — for heel hooks. After initially starting in the K Guard, this is the backside destination you’re after, so you can set up a bunch of evil leg locks or complicate things further by using the Matrix to expend way more energy than you need to sweep/take the back using X-hooks.
Part 3 – Frontside Aoki Locks & Heel Hooks
The frontside version of the Shotgun K Guard Mateusz Szczeciński DVD is more direct, since it doesn’t require a stabilizing position like 50/50. This portion of the DVD includes mostly outside attacks, featuring ankle locks, outside heel hooks, and Mateusz’s preferred Aoki Lock.
Mateusz also provides several dilemma attacks here, mostly involving leg lock pairings or leg lock–sweep combinations. Towards the end, a new version of the K Guard, dubbed the Far Side K, also appears, giving newfound depth to the already elaborate guard system.
Part 4 – Shotgun Armbars & Triangles
The final part of the Shotgun K Guard Mateusz Szczeciński DVD moves away from leg locks (for a bit) and introduces lightning-quick upper-body submission options directly available from the position.
A K Guard classic comes first, as Szczeciński offers some mind-blowing shotgun armbar details that I haven’t seen before. He expands on that with even more unexpected armlocks by breaking down how to use Choi Bars and the dreaded Mir Lock.
A few carefully selected triangle choke setups and finishes bring this volume — and the entire instructional — to an end.
The Baddest Trap System in BJJ
So, why is the K Guard so effective in grappling? It all boils down to one thing that is at the essence of the position: it is a trap system, rather than a control-and-domination one. And we don’t have many guard positions like that in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
For the most part, we tend to use submission-based positions as traps — the Kimura trap, guillotine, triangle-armbar, etc. We then build on these with sweeps, passes, and/or takedowns to end in a position of dominance and finish the submission we’re already hanging on to.
With the K Guard, you get all this, but you’re not limited to one submission. It has the clutter-free effectiveness of a submission position (as opposed to mount or back mount), but also the access to various immediate attacks that only a high-scoring position in BJJ offers. This perfect blend is outlined in great detail in the Shotgun K Guard Mateusz Szczeciński DVD.
