TOM DEBLASS – CLOSED GUARD DOMINATION

As you start to train and roll, slowly, surely, you start to learn more and more about what goes into real ground fighting, and how the guard is really one of the most dynamic and dangerous positions in all of BJJ. Now, the only question is, what kind of guard? Sometimes it seems like everywhere you turn, someone is telling you about some new kind of guard, worm guard, snake guard, squid guard, reverse lapel de la who knows guard! These approaches are great, but we have seen time and time again, that the basics must be mastered and respected, and it doesn’t come anymore basic than the closed guard, a position everyone learns first, and everyone must have an answer for.

That’s where Tom DeBlass comes in. As one of our favorite BJJ Fanatics instructors, Tom has a unique blend of experience, knowledge, and coaching skill that has set him apart as one of the best grappling minds in America. He’s always working hard to push grappling to new and interesting places, and his instructional sets have already helped thousands improve their ground game. He’s competed, won, and even coached at the highest levels, including giving tutelage to world class grapplers like Garry Tonon and Gordon Ryan. Now, the Ricardo Almeida black belt is turning that grappling wizardry to the closed guard, and he’s here to show you how he attacks when he is on bottom.
