This is a great video for anyone at any level. Good explanations, good fundamentals, and you take away a lot. Well, done and easy to understand.
Faria gives just the right amount of instruction to fully understand each technique. Really good explanations on his versions of escape. Highly recommended.
The course is excellent and comprehensive in terms of execution and transition techniques. Most of them relate to different stances, so if you consistently practice a couple of them correctly, you’ll have a repertoire of moves to choose from. The video quality is very good, and so is the audio.
Probably one of the best still!
Love defense. Great options for escape in a systematic game plan for lot of situations.
I usually buy anything Bernardo Faria puts out! Excellent instruction and easy to understand. The techniques he shows you can immediately put into play!
Un must. J'y retourne après chaque sparring pour ne pas refaire les mêmes erreurs.
As a white belt it’s easy to be put into bad positions. With these instructionals a level of confidence exists to comfortably and calmly assess, react and move to better positions. Faria instructs well and often which translates into success on the mat.
