Well explained and easy to implement. Will definitely incorporate most of this in my gameplan.
Überblick über verschiedene Möglichkeiten, bodylock passing und high stepping in sein game zu integrieren. Nicky ist ein toller instructor
Very helpful
very very good instructional, if you want to increase your passing percentage, you need to watch this, very clear and concise
one of my favorite passing instructionals. Nicky gives alot of important details in regards to where your feet point vs how to engage certain cross faces and why he favors some controls over others. very detailed
Game changing details!
Exelente information
Lots of cool details about highstepping and bodylocks
great overlooked skill!
good
Has helped me 10 fold with my passing. Not just postions but the little mental notes as well.
Good video
Great detail
Covers bodylocking, half guard passing and high stepping
So much info! Awesome.
Great techniques and concepts, easy to understand
awesome on body lock passing
Great experience
Comprehensive instructional on the difference between tight and loose and how to mix them.
Great and complete coverage for body locking and half guard passing, some great points to apply
Shows a bunch of great body lock and high step techniques but fails to really show a way to connect them. One chapter from the entire series shows a high step and body lock combination. It was also disappointing that the chapters are all named "high step 1", 'high step 2", etc. because it makes it hard to go back if you wanted to review later. Overall, not the best.
Super helpful passing
This was an easy to follow instructional with modern Jiu- jitsu content.
Nicky breaks it down in an easy to follow way that keeps you interested. great series at a good price
good body lock options
Great entries into bodylocks
Great instructional.
Top passing content. clear explanations and examples. Good job.
mixing the high step passing with the body lock is a game changer!
Very detailed instructional that makes guard passing easy
Professor Nicky Ryan explains both worlds/concepts/funamental techniques and their variations and connects them in a very sysrmtematic way. The setups for each and the switches in between are taught in the same way. As always he gives us several angles in moderate pace so that it is easy to follow. Highly recommend!
Interplay Between High Step And Body Lock Passing by Nicky Ryan is a must-have DVD for grapplers looking to enhance their passing game. Ryan's clear instruction and detailed breakdown of techniques provide a comprehensive understanding of high step and body lock passing. With versatile strategies adaptable to any scenario, this DVD is essential for practitioners at all levels aiming to elevate their grappling skills.
Has helped my guard passing level up quickly .
great with lots of info.
good
please for future instructional label moves not just pass 1 pass 2
Amazing setups and details I was able to apply immediately in training
Nicky is one of the best instructors in the game and conveys the information clearly and easy to follow step by step. This instructional will be invaluable to anyone that likes to use pressure passing in nogi. The concept of mixing it up between the tight passing and high stepping keeps your training partners guessing and make it very difficult to defend the guard pass. Great video!
One of the best body lock passers in the game
Was looking for a way to increase my passing game. While I have loved watching body lock styles typically I have seen this reserved for larger stronger players. I felt that this series really broke down the concepts in a way that I could immediately start adding it to my game. Nicky is an absolute monster on the mats but I believe he is also one of the best teachers. Definitely worth the investment, can’t wait to keep repping these techniques.
Nicky Ryan does it again with superb instruction,
Amazing
As Craig's and Eathan's, Nicky's Videos are really helpful.
Excellent explanation of solid passing options
Detail oriented and complete.
Was able to integrate the body locks pretty easily into my passing after drilling. Pretty straight forward objectives to follow based on opponents reaction. Nicky is a great teacher.
Great for people who want to learn about the new meta game in guard passing. Nicky's instruction is super detailed without being overly philosophical. The rolling commentary at the end is worth the price by itself
Body lock....then pass. Pretty easy. I fall over everytime I try to high step though but that's a "me" problem.
very good so far.
good details, haven't seen anything like this before.
