• Simple, Concise, Effective

  I was very fortunate that my coach (Coach Jun, SBG, who is also starring in the video as uke) taught us this very very early on and so I have been using Henry's style of pressure passing for the duration of my BJJ journey. This instructional is a collection of Henry's live seminars on the topic and so there is some repetition and its perfect for picking up added nuances when it comes time to review. As usual Henry's uses a very simple concept and enables you to find solutions for an array of problems when guard passing. It's all I've been using for the past 2 years when I guard pass. Combine this with Henry's Soul Stealer instructional and you will enjoy collapsing ribcages and sternums of your partners and they groan in agony during your rolls!

• Details you missed

  Never a miss with Henry Akins. Akins is extremely good at the fundamentals. There are a ton of little details here that everyone misses, which will totally transform your understanding of what guard passing fundamentally is. It's just weight distribution and angles. Akins demonstrates these simple high-level concepts beautifully. The best thing about Akins' instructionals is that since they tackle the "why", you can apply these concepts to other areas of your game too. Akins is one of the all-time great BJJ teachers, up there with John Danaher.

• Guard Passing Mastery - Title is Content

  Professor Henry Akisn created a true masterpiece! It is all about concepts delivered to pass no matter which guard you are facing. It is taught by showing it passing all common guards. It is all about wight distribution and shifting agles. Weight distribution in terms of your bodyweight against where your opponent finds/keeps contact to your body and then shifting your weight around the given frame and addressing where the hooks are you have to negeate. Highly recommend!!

• great as usual

  everything perfect. starting from the concepts deemed as relevant by the Professor, he makes an excursus on the main guards.

  Riccardo C.October 7, 2023USVerified buyer

• Excellent teaching & inspiring concepts

  Henry Akins helped me remove all doubts about committing my body weight to passing (previously, had fear of getting swept) by using angles. One day after making a start on this instructional, I already started floating like a butterfly passing training partners' guards in the gym. There's much that's simple yet profound in this instructional. It's also very useful to see the concepts reinforced through different Q&As that arise in the different seminars shown in this instructional. Top Notch!
