great details
This is one of the best instructional video that Ive ever watched. The concept about frames on top is simple, but very revolutionary. Mikey always provides super efficient instructional. People must watch!
Great concepts for beginners and helpful for advanced people who struggle with certain guards.
Many instructionals or gyms will go over various passes and techniques, but Mikey is on another level. He breaks everything down to the component parts you can build a solid foundation brick by brick.
The title is exactly what it is - teaches you how to neutralize a lot of the common guards. We need volume 2! And a whole passing series!
It is good instrustion
Noice
loved how much detail on concepts that allow you to fully neutralise guards to begin attacking!
great systematic way of approaching guard passing- easy to break it apart and game it. Being able to work the parts of this makes this so much better than simply techniques to drill. It's more of a framework to use for guard passing.
I was struggling passing guard against brown and black belts, but after watching this video, I am having way more success. The emphasis on creating safety within the guard before passing has completely changed my mindset.
Musumeci is incredibly inteligent and his lessons are always enlightening.
Very detailed and easy to follow

Easy to digest and system based. great details!
Super solid
Very, very nice done and well developped. Some easy new insight, that are easy and clear and make you think why you were never thought about it. I was not expecting too much, but I have been gladly advanced in my expectations. I will buy it again.
good video
oyu will learn how to pass the most used guards in the gi game
Everything Mikey teaches is very informal just buy them all.
great detail and easy to execute. Get this and you will disable any guard.
Here is the Order of Operations: 1. Watch Mikey Musumeci’s Neutralizing the Guard 2, Drill it, A LOT 3. Start passing guards like a Banshee!!! Amazing instructional from a conceptual and technical perspective… Note, this really is an instructional on how to neutralize the guard and doesn’t go into specific passing techniques but neutralizing is the first step (and most important step) to passing (any guard). I would say this is a better instructional for higher level practitioners… probably at least purple is the right level to really get something out of it…
