Great instructions, easy to follow. I was able to start techniques immediately and start passing pretty consistently with people my level and below. And give a hard time to people slightly higher. Because of my age (46) passing a bunch of super athletic 20 year olds guard was ****. This definitely put me on an even playing field.
Excellent course. I recommend it to everyone. Essential course.

Very clear and useful lessons from the master of the position.

Good instructional in learning Nicky Rod's style of guard passing
I can honestly say I use the Rody lock practically every time I hit the mat. Very detailed descriptions, streamlined content. Only the good/useful stuff
Great techniques
Great details in such a popular position. Nicky is one of the best at this pass.
Excellent explanation of the concepts for good body lock passing. Shows the body lock as a comprehensive system that can be used from many different positions and setups. Can't wait to implement more body locks into my game!

good

Best body lock instructions
I really liked Nicky Rod's body lock series. I also have Gordon Ryan's. Ok, I spend too much on tapes! Nicky Rod really brought out some key details that I've not seen elsewhere. One thing was his careful distinction between 2 on 1 leg control vs. half guard. I also liked Nicky Rod's detail on the sprawl from body lock to get rid of a butterfly hook. I've been using body lock for several months now and have been struggling with people getting underhooks. Nicky Rod gives a solution to this and to what to do about frames on the face/head. Gordon Ryan's body lock tape is also very good. There is much more detail in terms of alternatives in Gordon's treatment. Gordon also shows himself rolling and explains what he's doing which is helpful. If I were just starting out in body locking, I would start with Nicky Rod's product. One final point, Gordon's training partner is much better looking than Nicky Rod's!
I have found myself obsessed with the body lock passing as of late and this video is a huge reason why. Nicky Rod breaks down the principles of body locking and shows the moves multiple time from various angles. Extremely happy with my purchase of this video.
I haven’t done a lot of body locking but after this I feel a lot more comfortable with the style.
These details are really helpful for getting into the body lock and using it to pass!
Really good series of the body lock pass
A lot of work todo, I hope smaller people can do such things as well
Simple but effektive demonstration of the body lock
I love body lock passing and this instructional provides so much information on how to set it up and the various steps to passing the guard
His body lock skill is world class that changes my game all!
I really like the systematic approach used in the instructional. Nick breaks it down by explaining the position, entries, controls, and finishing the pass. There are a lot of details and options on how to make the body lock pass work based upon your opponents reaction. I highly recommend this instructional to anyone wanting to add this type of passing to their game. Hopefully, he does a submission based instructional next.
