Very good
It helped, but it doesn't seem to have dealt with Malfacine's signature techniques
I'm one of the smaller guys at my gym, and this instructional has helped me gain a lot more success!!! Passing everyone's guard a lot more. Bruno is definitely a master!!!
Liked the instructional. Bruno has a fast passing style but shows the mechanics and body movements well.
I'm a smaller guy at my gym and every other gym I've trained at. This instructional, like all of Bruno's instructionals have been super helpful!!! I'm already having more success passing the guard against everyone I roll with, and of course, everyone is bigger than me!!!
This instructional immediately helped me to improve my guard passing in training!!! I can't wait to implement my new skills in competition!!! Bruno is a master, and this instructional helps prove it too!!!
some really good details. definitely worth getting, especially if you like more athletic style passes. probably be 5 star rating but the echo made it to hard to understand.
dynamic great content. audio is not the best, hard to hear.
Really helpful for those absolute divisions!
very good

I LOVE THIS INSTRUCTIONAL!!! My guard passing has become a lot better from watching this instructional and I'm able to attack more against the bigger training partners in my academy... Which is mostly everyone. LOL
Definitely a necessary instructional for smaller guys!!! Bigger guys are getting better at the guard, so I needed to get better at passing their guard. And these video have been helping me a lot!!!
my game
nice details and easy to learn!
This was a great instructional. For context I am ~140 lbs (63kg) and always run into these scenarios when practicing with guys 75kg+. Great, realistic sequences when you grapple bigger guys.
Great instructional
as a lightweight I tend to get bumbed all over the places in side control. This content really show you how to control your opponent and preassure point to focus on to mantain and keeping the control.
Professor gives his indepth details of his passing game!
Awesome instructional
As a smaller guy this has really helped my passing game. Highly recommend!
Good teach
Game changer
Top knowledge and details for passing techniques.
Good stuff, love the insights from Bruno,
As a smaller fighter I was always struggling to pass bigger guys' guards. They would just hold me and prevent me from moving. I have made the moves of this instructional and integral part of my game. Strongly recommend!
Technique works well in the actual situation. It would have been better if the sound is more clear.
Contains a wide variety of highly dynamic guard pass types
Highly effective, simple pressure passing. Does not rely on strength, but it can be easily adopted by larger fellows
Now I understand better his guard pass when I atch his highlight. Very impressive
It is great video
Bruno really teaches the smart way to pass a guard! This is how can beat bigger and stronger opponents!
It has taken my game to new levels. Probably the best instructional that I own
I find his style very easy to fit into my game

This dvd is about Professor brunos passing methodologies. I really liked learning how to pass using the lapel grip and pants grip and all of the reactions that the opponent may have. I also really liked the kimura trap and torreando because I know professor is really good at those.
