This pressure passing system is easy to understand and highly effective. My students have used it in competitions woth huge success in India 👍�:muscle:
Bernardo is the best! His techniques are taught well, high percentage, and I impley them when sparring. He's a great instructor and more importantly a great person!!!
It was huge honor for me ! Bernardo is excelent teacher. Easy to understand, conceptual, step by step aproach, with all the details and answers for your oponents contras. Technics itself are ,, simple " in mechanics, everybody from white to black, old or young can understand and do them. No power, flexibility, speed or gymnastics are needed. Nice follow up for Battle tested pressure passing DVD with gi.
nice and simple
Great instructional. It explains the details of the presure passing very well. You are able to use it effectively......if you do the time with the video and break down the movements into what is useable for you. Teacher outlines the concepts very well and explains the material in a good layout and well thought out manner. I am able to use the concepts in live sparring, review adjustments needed after.....it works.
Professor Faria does it again! Clear, effective instruction! Simple enough to start applying right away, detailed enough to make you watch again and again and again. Excellent! 5 Stars!
Excellent content
Absolutely beautiful execution. Bernardo Faria is a legend!
Great detail!
Amazing video. Bernardo is one of the best teachers on bjjfanatics. He breaks down things in a very concise way, so that it is easy for everyone to understand. You will learn a lot with that instructional, whether you are a white or a black belt.
Very good!
Great breakdowns of the moves and reasons why to use them in each situation.
all instructional videos i choose is perfect also to my body structure some other techniques is not fit to my body example long legs they can shoot the technique right away like triangle choke, my body type is like garry tonon that some of techniques like chokes and arm triangles can easy to execute for me. i hope next time i can buy garry tonon video stuff when they have big discount thanks a lot bjjfanatics for instructional video who can help a lot 4 me
HAVE NOT WATCHED THIS YET, BUT JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO BERNARDO FOR HIS GENEROSITY ON PROVIDING ANOTHER FREE INSTRUCTIONAL FOR 2021. RESPECT!!!
Bernardo does an awesome job presenting simple and effective techniques to passing the guard. I took many of these techniques and applied them immediately in my training sessions. Oss!
I’m quite light so lots of pressure passes don’t work well for me, but this instructional made it super easy to follow and use my weight more effectively! I still have a long way to go but it’s working well so far! The over under is now my go-to pass! Video quality and demonstrations are great, and it’s helped me look for my opportunity to pass! Thanks Bernardo!
Great concepts. Really picking them up fast. Huge honor
Solid video. Bernardo is really great. Aside from his ability as a grappler he truly understands the art of teaching as well and his warm personality makes from a great watch. The transitioning to passing in the Gi to No GI can be incredibly frustrating but Bernardo having experience with both modalities allows for him to be very clear on what grips are essential. Must buy!
Very comprehensive and deep
Very easy to UNDERSTAND and LEARN!
Good
If you know anything about BF, you know his over/under is legendary. This video is informative, easy to watch and implement. Highly recommend.
Fire
This is a great series with excellent details. I would recommend this to everyone.
Such a well laid out and taught instruction from one of the best in the game ever!
Over/Under has been my main pass since I was a white belt. This Instructional provided some great details to transfer my favorite pass to no gi.
Amazing tips and techniques from one of the best guys in BJJ of all time.
I stopped BJJ for like 8 years and came back more than a year ago , off course some things changed and evolved but this kind of passing is still one of the best and while I feel super young at 34 I want to do things that keep me in BJJ forever so even volumen 1 by itself is super informative about this pass and gives you details you can add inmediately. I can only recomend it but for older grapplers is the way to go, don´t waste your energy training with those young monsters you find today !
It feels funny to review BF but this trully a great one
I love the fanatics!!!!
Great clear instruction
good
Awesome content. Great to drill this during lockdown.
Excellent stuff on pressure passing. Bernardo explains thoroughly various scenarios on how to use pressure passing. Bernardo really knows what he's talking about. Highly recommend this!
Extremely detailed
Wonderful full of great information!!!!!!
Especially Thankful for BJJ Fanatics in this unique time in our world. This video tutorial has been a great study as social distancing has kept my school closed. All in all great video with great techniques!
I purchased this during the covid19 pandemic , but from what I seen so far it's been a great tool . I plan on testing out what I learn on live opponent when I get the opportunity .
Bueno
Great pressure passing instructional definitely recommend !
Very concise technique, plus the added details made it a complete tool for my bjj. Can't wait to try it out.
It was a super instructionnal , with a lot of details from Bernardo . Very helpful. Thank you a lot bjj fanatics
Always good stuff great video
First off big Props to Mr. Faria for supplying the BJJ community with so many great deals during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I am new to BJJ and have seen some of his videos but did not know who he was and his history in the community. I also did not know this awesome library existed until I saw his video promoting the COVID-19 free instructional opportunity. I really appreciate you giving me this video! It means so much to me that you dedicated a piece of you to help me succeed while getting nothing out of it. It really shows who you are and makes me proud to be your Student. As far as the video it is just straight dope. It is everything I wanted. There is so much content that I know it will last me my entire career in relevance. Bernardo is articulate and concise with his instructions. He does not merely show moves but even further provides the core concepts to them while giving in depth examples of their applications in his extremely successful experience. I could have gotten so many of his videos first. Omoplata everyone, submissions, etc. But whats the purpose of all of that if you cant pass the guard???? Thank you for this opportunity Mr. Faria. I wont let this go to waste!!!
Awesome instructional, it covers a lot of high percentage moves,
This instructional is fantastic. Giving one strong position to start from simplified my approach to passing and stopped me from getting inside my own head trying to make a decision on which pass to initiate. Great details on how to create and maintain pressure.
Rather than fooling around with fancy dance moves, Bernardo's over/under methods of pressure passing is great. The video production value is very good and the demonstrations are thorough and straightforward. I'm glad I added it to my library. Thanks!
I use Bernardo's Pressurepassing system with Gi training. I was having some trouble applying the method to my NoGi training; good or bad, having a Gi to grab on to changes things... The NoGi Pressure passing system is the perfect complement to Pressure Passing DVDs. It's a useful guide for those looking to apply the same Pressure Passing principles to there NoGi game. Anyhow, I am a big guy (MASTERS/HW), and my Professor (I train in San Diego, you can figure it out) has commented about how well my passing game has developed. I know if I get the right opportunity while I roll, I will not fail my pass. If you have any questions about the DVD, feel free to email me at brian.dawi@outlook.com. A+ Bernardo. Great DVD. It's a good buy.
Very knowledgeable and straight to the point makes it very simple.
Bernardo's No-Gi Pressure passing has improved my game so much. His teaching is clear and I love that he addresses different pathways to get to the pass.
