The reviews

• Mr D

  Pretty good info but, the sound needs work.

  Dante P.September 28, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Excellent detailed instruction...

  I really enjoyed the detail shown within a smaller, yet applicable dynamic of the transition between half guard and passing. Audio gets a bit spotty at times, but not a real issue.

• great solutions to hard situations

  Great solutions to hard situations and regaining the chest to chest. Only thing I would ping this video is the sound is a bit off when his face is away from the camera.

• Game changer

  This video brought by guard passing to another level. Many well explained ways on how to get to chest to chest and how to progress to a successful guard pass. This has worked super well on more athletic opponents. Giancarlo does an excellent job teaching.

• The ultimate website for jitsu

  The ultimate website for jitsu instruction has done it again. The structure of the of the video clearly lays out the sequences for success. Giancarlo is a top notch player and passes his hard earned wisdom onto the viewer. Worth every dime!

• Giancarlo Bodoni

  Thorough, concise instruction delivered in a down-to-earth manner - as opposed to an overly philisophical or analytical way. Giancarlo walks you through a front headlock series starting from standing to turtle. He mixes all the relevant elements of wrestling with BJJ in a seamless way. Highly recommend this video to add to your grappling arsenal.

• Great but disappointing at the same time

  Honestly probably one of the best half guard passing instructionals I've seen. Structure was clear and easy to follow and the instruction was great. Its just let down by some audio problems which can be quite distracting.
