One of the best things that GG has opened my eyes to is the importance of the mental aspect of training. Using the wealth of knowledge built by the community at GG, I was able to study not only techniques but also philosophies, mindsets, and gain a better understanding of how / why certain techniques work in given situations. I can't measure how much my game has changed since finding GG.
~Jason D.
Things that most beginners will miss are covered extremely well through the GG forum. Whether you are just starting out or trying to bring your game to a new level, the Grappler's Guide forum has something to offer to anyone. I'd recommend it to anyone.
~Kyle
The premium membership is a must for anyone who wants to improve their physical and mental game. My advise to anyone looking to kick their grappling game up a notch, is to invest in the premium package. It is well worth your pennies and will definately improve your game.
~Christine
I hesitate to call it a 'discussion forum' site. It's far more than that! It's a total grappling resource; technique videos and drills, play by play grappling match analysis, sport psychology, conditioning routines, and yes there is a discussion forum. There is just a huge amount of information here for the money. Joining grapplersguide is probably the best thing a grappler can do off the mat to improve their game.
