Really enjoyed the details and easy to understand for beginners - as well as a great refresher for experienced players. I’ve incorporated a lot of the side control hand placement details.
Great instructional!
excellent tutorials. so many options and coubters are covered there is something for everyone in here. Thanks Mr Faria
A really good look into getting out of troublesome and tricky spots. A great help to studying off the mats and getting the mental reps in before drilling live
Bernardo covers many fundamental escapes that every whitebelt should know and shares key details to the techniques taught. I'd highly recommend this product
Classic and helpful instructional from Bernardo - very helpful to round out approach to escapes
Bernardo knows his stuff. Some great ideas presented.
A great video for the fundamental elements of escape. I try and practice these as solo drills on my days off from class and rolling. I try and pay attention to the small adjustments to make to get into better position, like rolling slightly to one side as a way to help you eventually get to your side or not taking that tiny break after getting your guard passes. It’s the explanation of those details that helps me improve overall. Still getting smashed (WB < 1 yr), but I can feel minor improvements in my defense and escapes.
Everything you need to know about escapes. This is a must buy for any beginner in jiu jitsu or who just wants to revisit the basics.
Escaping certain positions sometimes needs just a plain answer - and this instructional is a great place to look for specific escapes after that randori when you felt clueless.
"Offense Scores Points, But DEFENSE Wins Championships!" never a truer word spoken. Escapes are the most important thing to build confidence in your attack. Bernardo delivers it really clear and in detail, thanks!
Everything that Bernardo makes is high quality! This is a fantastic escapes instructional that covers escapes from several different positions and submissions. Also, Bernardo makes videos at the same level as other “big name” players for a fraction of the cost!
This series is a great value. Bernardo explains the techniques clearly. He relays lots of great little details around gripping and gi use. This still my "go to" instructional for reviewing and improving my gi escapes.
Great demonstration on the series of moves and how they can be adjusted according to your own game
Incredibly generous of Bernardo to release a video for free!
Easy to understand and well presented, anything produced by Bernardo is well worth the money
Sometimes when I watch Bernardos instructionals I go "hey I've seen that!" Even certain simple adjustments that he makes actually now make more sense after seeing his instructionals
Easy to understand with good demonstrations
Exelent
This video has helped me see escapes that I have been missing and set my rolling partner up for the sweeps. Now just got to master the techniques so I can become the escape artist I want to be.
Awesome wealth of knowledge and escapes , details in depth how different positions require different modifications and techniques are broken down step by step!
Bernardo is a gift to the BJJ community.
Bernardo is an excellent teacher and gave a lot of good info on not just escapes but also basic set-ups. I'm now looking into buying more of his half guard passing video because he does such a good job explaining the technique.
Its my honor to say.... there is so much detail in this. Seriously! For a white belt this is where you want to start... because in your rolls you are likely finding yourself in all the disadvantageous positions like me. I haven't watched the entire series yet.. but Im frquently having my guard passed and being stuck in side control. I turned to that section first and have had some good ideas immediately help me at gym.
Great instructional clear and concise techniques
