Jiu Jitsu For Old Guys Bottom Game: Half Guard And Closed Guard
Bernardo Faria shows his half guard and closed guard packed with adaptations to slow the game down even more and increasing leverage and efficiency. He points out how and when to replace athleticism with proper positioning and persistent movement. Highly recommend!

as an older big guy, I get caught or catch folks in half guard a lot, good stuff for me to review and improve on as I work through my BJJ journey, thank you Bernardo!
Concise and high value
This isn’t an encyclopedia of half guard and closed guard but what Bernardo does share is amazing
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great for guys who arent old too
The king of deep half shares his secrets with us here. I'm early 30s but it can be tough to keep up with very athletic guys sometimes and the content of this instructional has helped tremendously.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Good content
Faria is master of half guard. And this video is he’s contents Great contents
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Works for me
Early in my Jiu Jitsu my professor at the time said, "you should learn deep half" and urged me to get a Prof Faria video. Overnight I went from getting my butt kicked everday to at least holding my own. I've polished over the years, periodically revisting Prof Farias videos. It this series has the details to help me continue to progress. At 55 I don't want scramble. My greatest deficiency is coming up on top without that occurring. The details in this video look like the solution. Thank you Prof Faria!
Response from BJJ FanaticsCongrats for your hard work! Keep dedicating yourself!Great for guys over 50!
The Jiu Jitsu for Old Guys Botom Game has been super helpful in keeping me on the mats with my younger teammates. At 54, I am sweeping guys from deep half, single leg, and dog fight half guard, and passing with over under. Everything about this DVD has been helpful. Pair this with Bernardo's Over Under DVD for old guys, and you won't be sorry...your teammates will. Thanks Bernardo! Always the best.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very useful and easy to
Very useful and easy to apply game for older persons or people less phisically skilled.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Simple and efficient
Bernardo makes bjj simple and efficient for everybody! He turns a chess game into a game of checkres! This is a very safe guard game and Bernardo gives all the details to make it easy for everyone
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻very useful
I've been looking for some strategies to better deal with some of the young guys that I train with, and this has definitely helped. I already caught a few of my training partners with some of the techniques shown and look forward to continue rewatching and perfecting the moves.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Perfect for "Old-Guys" or anyone who is not an athlete.
Bernardo Faria does an excellent job at presenting bottom game for old guys; Bernardo method of instruction is entertaining and educational. I found success with the techniques taught in the instructional videos, that I went on to purchase Bernardo Faria's Old Guys Over-Under passing. I look forward to more from Bernardo's Old Guy series of instructional videos. There is a charm to the deprecating but realistic title "old guys". I am sure we all love BJJ but it sucks getting old and out-of-shape, us "old-guys" need every advantage we can get. It was a huge honour for me to learn Bernardo Faria's techniques :smiley:. Please keep making more in the "old-guys" series.

Professor Faria's instructional address the less than perfect scenarios. It is a great instructional with a lot of practical take home techniques. I preferred Michael's Unicorn and Rainbow crushing questions. A big benefit to that was to watch a 5 -time world champion problem solve. Does not take away from this video but it the passing video had some real-world icing on the cake. Plus, it was nice to see a highly skilled player not get it the techniques perfect right out of the gait!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻I am 66 years old
I am 66 years old and just got my Brown belt and I wish I had this dvd for older guys 5 years ago. It is packed with sound concepts and practical techniques on how to compete on the bottom game against the younger age players and still come out on top. If you want to hold your own without being totally exhausted then this dvd will be a great help. Recommended. Graham
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Outstanding video on strategies for older grapplers to game
Great tips & tools to make your game age-proof and help slow things down for those of us that have been around the block a few years.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Holy grail for older white belts
As a 33 year out of shape white belt, this course is holy grail for me!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great information , exactly what
Great information , exactly what an old guy who has been training for 12 months needs.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great for the old guys!
Starting to slow down - great strategies and techniques to control the young guys! Really improved my deep half entries. Bernardo does give a guy a complex with how many times he reminds me hold old and unathletic I'm becoming (just kidding)!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻I’ve been reviewing the content
I’ve been reviewing the content and have found where I have clitches in my techniques and have tried the newfound knowledge. Our teachers are not aware of the every one of the hundreds that are not taught. This has been a good tool
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Perfect guidance
I develop my half guard for last two years and this course is the most clear, structured and detailed guide I have learned before. I feel much more confident while rolling with younger teammates who has better physical conditions and speed. Thank you.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻BJJ for old guys
Could used better camera angles, but informative.
Very good
As always mister huge honor for me delivers. Great not just for old guys but for younger people who do not have a physical advantage.
