PURCHASE: X Guard 2.0 Masterclass by Tainan Dalpra
X Guard 2.0, the second installment to Tainan's X Guard system, builds on the framework with updated details, introduces new positions, and explores variations and adjustments to the X Guard.
Positions and topics for the series include: from the open guard using the cross sleeve, the 2-on-1 control, from the reverse de la riva, incorporating the leg drag, finishing with the waiter sweep, and more.
