Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥Easy to follow, good instruction
Easy to follow, good instruction to get the angles to land the techniques against big dudes
Great collection of techniques
Great collection of techniques to use against bigger opponents. Heavy emphasis on butterfly and X-guard.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻My favorite gi instructional
Highly, highly recommend. As a smaller guy from an MMA background, I've struggled against bigger opponents in the gi- the prevalence of grips in gi made it so that I had a much harder time evading them and "squirming" around them into advantageous positions. This course has really helped with that- obviously big guys are usually going to pose more of a challenge than small guys, but I feel much more comfortable defending and counterattacking in the gi now.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻For smaller and bigger guys as well 😊
B. M. provides his open guard game based on butterfly guard of course. He gives you sweeps and bake takes as well as straight forward submussions. He connects it with his x-guard game out of butterfly and shin to shin in the same manner and with DLR guard too. He is shiwingcthe entry and the key points ifxeach given technique several times with clear explanaitions folliwed by the whole sequence out if dufferent angles and from moderate to full speed. Highly suggested!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻good content with many info
good content!
Nice
Nice dvd, it is interesting to see the techniques developed to utilise maximum efficiency. I would have liked to have uke and tori in different gi colours but that is all.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A must buy
This will help anyone serious who wants to practice jiujitsu for the long run. Going against bigger guys doesn't necessarily need to equate to being smashed any longer!
Major advantage having this guard game
Bruno's game is very specific but being a bit shorter myself I was able to adapt most of these moves into my game.
Game changer
This was a great guide to go against big strong dudes. Being able to get under them and use my legs against them instead of my arms makes a HUGE difference. Playing butterfly guard, and even x-guard are fairly new concepts to me, but I’ve been able to implement them in my game and honestly I can already notice a difference. Highly recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Well explained, much also applicable to no gi
Bruno doesn't waste time with an intro for this instructional. He gets right into explaining everything in just the right amount of detail. Some techniques require a collar grip but others could work just as effectively in no gi. Good length / amount of content for an instructional too.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great!!
Great against bigger opponents!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Simple and effective
Simple and effective
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great for those with speed
Many of Bruno's techniques involve being quicker than your opponent and being a step ahead. However, they are quite powerful provided your timing is down.
sweeps galore

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻the amount of details you
the amount of details you get to learn from bruno malfacine from all the videos is amazing. All the instructions he is giving while doing the technique is very clear and he provides good angles all throughout the content you get with all his videos
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excellent!
I've applied several of the things Bruno teaches in this instructional. I really like all the options from Butterfly. Highly recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Misleading
The instructional is not aimed to "smaller guys". It's aimed to whomever doesn't want to rely on the strength in his rolling, which I believe is the ultimate goal of any BJJ practitioner. Given the above, everybody may have benefit from this video, especially small guys (obviously), older mates and also lower belt, since the earlier they stop relying on the strength the better for them.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Proven techniques
I highly recommend for lightweights and below! This helped me refine some of the techniques already in my game. The sequencing is on point.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻More technique centric and conceptual.
Good techniques although I would prefer something more conceptual as I’m already too overwhelmed by techniques as a white belt.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻GameChanger for the little guy
I was a closed guard player for the longest time, gradually I knew I needed to adapt to a style that suited my body type against some giants at my gym. This instructional has been great for my guard revolution.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Good content , I am
Good content , I am a white belt and I understand that the butterfly guard is a little more advanced so for me I would have liked to had a bit more fundamental technical breakdowns. Still great though just means there’s some other things I need to focus on before attempting to work this into my game.
Response from BJJ FanaticsKeep studying and practicing! 🤗Awesome!
Such a great instructional video, absolutely must buy if you’re usually getting smashed by the units at the gym! Make them run for the hills with Professor Bruno’s techniques! Amazing content!

Response from BJJ Fanatics😎🤗Beating Bigger Bros
I've always been one of the lighter guys in Judo and Jiu-jitsu. And being taught techniques by beefier dudes has never really worked out for me. This instructional has really played to some of my advantages I have and really helped me out.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Good material, can’t go wrong.
Whatever lessons you get from a champion like Bruno Malfacine it has to be good. Thumbs up.
great!
great!
