Excellent.
It's short, but it is well worth it- Absolutely incredible breakdowns on the decision making process
Great details
A rare instructional that actually tackles the engagement phase instead of jumping straight to passing techniques — the messy first few seconds of contact where most rolls are actually decided. Chen breaks down posture, grip precedence, and when to commit vs. reset, which filled a gap most guard-passing content skips over. It's concept-first rather than a step-by-step technique list, so it rewards people who already understand passing fundamentals and want to sharpen their entries — if you're newer to passing, the payoff may take longer to show up on the mats. Short and dense at around 70 minutes across two volumes, so it's easy to revisit before class without wading through hours of footage.
I really enjoyed the concepts and philosohphy behind engaging without regrets. Hoping to implement them with some of my buddies.
Good
Good tips for engaging in different scenarios
Very practical approach to handfighting. Great concepts with no fluff. Definitely recommend!
very good for people wants to take the first step on atacking
Great insights from one of the best passers in the game
Incredible!
Very insightful with dealing with opponent's grips as the top player and get into passing effectively.
Highly recommend.
Something about this one just didn't resonate with me. A little too wordy, not as systematic or clearly organized as most of the other titles I've purchased here. Still, probably worth buying if you already know and benefit from Chen's teaching style.
The instructional is quite clever, but short. Jo outlines tactics, their underlying principles, and gives a few examples of how to get into passing positions. I can’t believe I had not considered this phase in a no-gi setting until now. It seemed brief, but it’s so hyper-focused that it’s understandable.
Good concepts to start passing guards
Typical intelligent Jozef Chen ideas.
Game Changer. A lots of solutions
very nice concepts to remember while passing! I love josef's instructionals!
nice
Quick technical passing what's not to like
Jozef is very analytical and is very well versed in teaching concepts
I did 1 practise with these techniques and instantly was way more effective against elite grapplers
Interesting and insightful concepts for when approaching a guard player
My guard passing improved a lot after watching this dvd
