Shoulder Pin Guard System Neil Melanson BJJ DVD Instructional Review
In a Neil Melanson Instructional, you are guaranteed to get several things. First of all, it won’t be anything shorter than four volumes. next, you won’t get a crazy amount of chapters per volume, but only a few. However, each of those few chapters lasts at least 10-15 minutes, meaning every chapter is a mini system of its own. That’s is one reason why his instructionals are so effective – you can use chunks of them and still have systems that include multiple options.
The Shoulder Pin Guard System features four volumes, starting with some basic info on the innovative guard. Several pretty painful submissions and the odd sweep or two are what comes with volume 2. The third part cover even crazier moves, all of the submission variety, and mostly focusing on shoulder locks. Finally, volume 4 goes over some of Neil’ssingature attacks – triangle chokes and some other originally stuff.
Volume 1
In the first part of the Shoulder Pin Guard System DVD, Neil shows several different grip variations that will allow you to control people from the bottom. Moreover, they help set up, and maintain the shoulder pin guard, after you learn all about the angel that makes it possible. A triangle choke from the basic shoulder pin guard position, as well as an entry into the Neil Knot, wrap the first volume of the Instructional up.
Volume 2
In part two, there’s not too much positional talk. But, then again, there’s not too much mumbo-jumbo in any Neil Melanson Instructional. The volume begins with an armbar, followed by several different varieties of brutal armlocks. Most notable are the belly down shoulder locks, which are as crazy as they sound, but are equally as effective too!
The combat half hip bump comes as a break in between all the submission options in this volume. The Neil Knot touched upon in volume one is really dissected here, from both the closed guard and off of an armbar, all stemming from the shoulder pin guard.
Volume 3
The Omoplata opens up this portion of the DVD, and in doing so, announces a full volume of shoulder locks. Omoplatas, hammerlocks, Kimura locks are just some of the submissions that are readily available from the shoulder Pin Guard System. A rolling belly-down armbar also makes an appearance, but the real underhock pin and the Boston handshake are the real stars of the show in this volume. You’ll have to see Neil demonstrating them to understand what they’re all about.
Volume 4
In the final portion of this Neil Melanson DVD, you get to learn the gogo clinch, which, simply put, is something that you’ll fall in love with immediately. Plus, it looks really fancy to spectators (if you can pull it off ina tournament). There are a few more armbars in this volume, but the real star of the show is the triangle choke.
An opposite hip triangle, the pullback triangle, the kingpin, and several other crazy things are a part of this volume, before a section non the butterfly guard, and some interesting ways of putting everything together wrap this typically atypical Neil Melanson BJJ DVD up.
Wrapping Up
There’s nothing too surprising about the Shoulder Pin guard System Neil Melanson BJJ DVD. It is yet another great instructional that will make you a better grappler. Moreover, you’ll not only learn a different approach to the guard but you’ll also start to think differently about every aspect of your game. Why be like everyone else when you can develop something unorthodox that will blow everyone away?
