The X-Guard series from TFW had me skeptical at first. I have never really been a big fan of the X-Guard, and never really been able to utilize it. While Marcelo Garcia has released numerous resources covering the X-Guard, I find it difficult to utilize. And if the guy that invented the position couldn’t get me interested in it, then I figured I would surely hate this video set. That being said- I was surprised. It is obvious from the beginning of the set that TFW put a lot of time into the production of this video. The content is well laid out and the techniques chain together nicely. I think that what sets this video apart from other X-Guard explanations is the setups. The hardest part about X-Guard is getting into the position itself, and this set does an excellent job explaining how to do that from numerous positions. Since watching this video, I have been a little more turned on to the X-Guard. While it is not my “go-to” guard YET, it is quickly becoming more and more of a tool that I use.

I suggest checking out this video set if you are a guy that plays a lot of guard. If you like to sweep from the bottom, then you might think this is the best thing since sliced bread. Overall, I give it 4 stars!
