Simply Amazing, a really good quality of the video and really simple tecniches to apply during roll but they work really well in the battle, nothing fancy only good working tecniches: what I was searching for.
Great video. lots of great details that really have helped understand weight distribution and pressure
Great instructional. Techniques can be applied also by older grapplers (like myself).
Awesome instructional by the over under master! A lot of really good details to learn how to apply maximum pressure without having to be super fast or explosive.
ive passed a couple black belts guard with your pressure passing over under!
works great! i love it for my game
I love this instructional. Bernardo does an excellent job explaining each technique without over explaining. I was able to quickly implement a number of the skills and techniques into my game and improve my basics as well. The has allowed me to maintain pressure while passing. This instructional seems to serve as a part 2 to a previous instructional, I did not know that at the time of purchase by I am glad I bought this one. The video quality is high as normal . I especially like how he shows each technique from several angles.
Bernardo’s pressure passing is top notch — excellent details here, especially on the over-under pass.
great instructional by Faria! does the job very well.
Wonderful as always.
This is a very good collection of proven guard passing techniques. Well explained.
Most guys at my gym are over 200lbs everyone is surprised when I pin down heavyweights with ease. They think I have super strength
Overall ok, shows some good details
I was able to start using these techniques later the same day during a live roll.
My favourite style of passing, nice details!
got this trough the yearly free offer from Bernado. such a great opportunity to learn. thanks
Bernardo answers many questions and shows various techniques, I highly recommend to have and watch the first DVD (Pressure Passing Encyclopedia) . Makes much more sense with the first one, great as always, thanks.
This breaks pressure passing and the over under down in a way I was able to literally use the day after I watched it. Great for older guys who want to shut down some of those new guards before they get started.
Over under is my go to pass since watching all of Bernardo's instructionals on it. It's a super powerful pass and he explains it very well in these videos. If you're having trouble passing, this is a great instructional to pick up.
Just a great over all product. Easy to follow and incorporate during live drills. These are the big a that needed brushing up on after my blue belt test
Pretty good one
It was the product that helped me the most when I was blue belt. Faria's over-under pass is easy to understand.
Great technique for older rollers!
I am passing everyone’s guard after this! It is the absolute best! Highly recommend!
Very well done instructional
Great
thanks, i'll test as soon as the covid will
Good stuff
Good passes here!
I received this as part of the FARIAFREE campaign, and am working through it. I'm only a white belt but it's super helpful, and I am incredibly grateful to Mr. Faria for his generosity to the BJJ community during this difficult time.
Great instructional! Big Mahalo’s to Bernardo!
Bernardo’s game is perfect for older less athletic grapplers or just someone who wants a more thorough understanding of basic half guard concepts!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was lucky enough to have trained with and was taught by Bernardo when he was at Marcelo's. Love revisiting his teachings as well as seeing his updates. He's a great teacher and a great guy. Love this series.
Great break downs and enough detail without being overly complicated
Thank you
Awesome instructional. You can easily see how Bernardo became a multiple time world champion with how his brain organizes this information into a clear system. Thank you!
This was a very good base to improvement on my pressure passing. This video not only showed me great technical ideology of pressure passing but showed great defenses and counters to many defenses and set ups. I highly recommend this video to anyone who is looking to start pressure passing.
Very helpful for beginners.
Mr. Faria does not disappoint. He does a great job of breaking everything down. I really enjoyed the section of live rolling and his breakdown of why and how he dealt with deferent situations.
Greta content solid passing information. Bernardo never disappoints.
Solid stuff from Bernardo Faria. I didn’t expect anything less, because he talks about his signature pressure passing moves.
Brilliant, Bernardo puts across techniques in a way that are easy to understand and therefore to utilise quickly in rolls. Huge Honor for me!
Great work Bernardo!! So many details with simple yet effective technics. PS: We really hope to see you in a seminar at Alliance Athens, Greece. All the Best
Solid instructional!
More than any other video on this site, this series propelled my game in a giant leap forward. I have passed so many people's guards so many times, some having much higher rank than me, that it is almost like magic. I also got the first "volume" titled just "Pressure Passing", as it is different, and also the no-gi version, because couldn't figure out on my own how to apply it no-gi until I watched the no-gi series a few times. I am not a fast passer. What works for me is this version of the over-under and sometimes the half-guard passing game. There was a bit of a learning curve--at the beginning I got triangled quite a few times when I did not control the leg well, or passed the legs right into a choke a few times with higher-ranking opponents. But that was still so much better than what was typically happening before: fumbling helplessly in other people's guard making zero progress. Like I said, I have seen 100s of videos, but nothing else ever remotely worked so much from the get-go for me than this particular video and then the other two related series.
Great stuff
I have only been training for about six months and my guard passing is trash. I watched this instructional in one day, then tried to hit the over under during a live roll that same evening and...it worked. I’m sure this was part luck and part that I was rolling with another white belt (albeit with a few years experience), but what’s important is that Bernardo teaches in such a way that it’s easy to understand.
In my opinion this product meets expectations
This product is ok
I love this product
