Bloody Elbow DVD Review - The HeisenGuard by Malachy Friedman

We’ve covered Malachy Friedman’s work before, and I’m glad to share the verdict on his latest work, the HeisenGuard DVD.

Previously, he devised a system around defending the D’Arce choke, as well as a whole mini-system focused around the Flower Sweep. Different from his previous two works, this is going to be centered completely around the HeisenGuard, an unusual position that relies on grips and being under an opponent’s side.

While somewhat unorthodox, Friedman breaks down how to work different entries and setups just to get there, and then works some magic from there.
