  Great content again from Bernardo, straight forward system focused on fundamental moves. Although focused on older practicioners, applies to everyone

  Tyrone K.May 18, 2026CanadaVerified buyerBrown belt13-15 yrs training

• Great and simple

  Bernardo emphasises some simple framing strategis for the majority of guard retention, along with some guard pass specific retention tricks, this is not just a project for older of inflexible people, this is is the style of retention you need when you’re opponent gets by your leg pummelling and other such strategies and manage to close the distance

• Guard retention

  Great instructional on a fundamental skill.

  claude g.May 8, 2026CanadaVerified buyer13-15 yrs training

• Jiu Jitsu for Old Guys: Guard Retention

  Content was presented in an easy to understand manner; guard retention using four moves. The four moves are explained and then put in context with a variety of scenarios. As an older grappler this video is very good for me because the four moves provided do not require flexibility or that much athleticism.

  Douglas P.May 6, 2026CanadaVerified buyerPurple belt7-9 yrs training

  As an old man of extremely advanced years, I found this instructional to be invaluable. Also prune juice and Werther's.

• It’s Bernardo of course it’s good

  It’s great, definitely gears towards the 1/ guard retention, which if you know Bernardo’s stuff or have followed his old guy stuff, it should be expected. That being said lots of this is transferable to all aspects of the game

• Nice and Easy

  At first glance, some of the techniques shown might seem basic — but don’t let that fool you. This instructional is full of effective, high-percentage movements that work at all levels. There are no flashy or overly complex techniques here, just solid, well-explained fundamentals that truly make a difference. Everything shown is practical, reliable, and adaptable to any age or body type. A great resource whether you're just starting or have years on the mat.
