Les gradés de mon club de JJB utilisent énormément la half guard et je ne peux quasiment rien faire contre eux. Ils me renversent, me soumettent systématiquement depuis la half guard. J'ai désormais des solutions de la part du maitre en la matière .
Consegui encontrar boas passagens que me ajudaram bastante em situações que me travavam.
Loved it! Bernardo is very thorough with the explanation of the techniques and I have applied them during my classes. So far, been very beneficial as it helped me more technical.
Great instructional!
Great instructional! His instructional upgrade my top game
If you want to learn to play on top of half guard, this is an essential instructional.
Helps completing my library of essential BJJ knowledge.
This is one of the most useful instructional I ever watched. Professor Faria is one of the best half guard player ever and he's giving you the keys to pass his guard. throug experience, he understood what it really bothered him on the bottom, and being a clever fighter he studied all the details. the case of the "thumb in" pass is e perfect example (technique 2). on the other hand, it's not a "how I pass the guard" video - but "what bothered me". it means that he shows also a lot of techniques "out of his game" but he had to face in competition. recommended.
I don't usually write reviews, but I own Bernardo's entire video series minus 1 or 2. These videos are all wonderfully connected and easily consumed. I apply these every time I roll and have been able to pass tough guards and get many submissions. if you want to improve at a highly accelerated rate get his whole series. i refer to his videos after rolls if i get stuck or have trouble finishing and get real detailed information that is easy to apply because it is explained well.
