The X Guard book by Marcelo Garcia

Marcelo Garcia, winner of five Brazilian jiu-jitsu world championships and a man many feel is the best pound-for-pound submission grappler of all time, unveils the secrets behind the most effective guard system in existence—the X-Guard. Unlike most jiu-jitsu instructional books, Garcia leaves no stone unturned.


Not only does he show you how to sweep your opponent using the X-Guard from nearly every control position, he shows you how to do it both with a gi and without. Covering everything from grips to timing, this book will be a saviour to anyone wishing to compete in jiu-jitsu tournaments, no-gi grappling competition or mixed martial arts.
