Eduardo is the man!
Really great instructional, especially if you want to introduce standing guard passes into your game. All the techniques would no doubt fit into someone's game. I really believe you'll find at least one gem in this instructional. His teaching style is very laid back as well which is always great.
I love it
Clear, direct instruction with great examples throughout.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Short but sweet
Really nice principles for dynamic passing
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Playful
Nice ideas and drills very detailed. Wheter you go “real” or playful when passing guard, this turorial could open some doors.
Must have!
Very good to watch this

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A champion teaching you how to master the things that make him great
The first instructional I ever purchased was Telles' first, The Turtle and Octopus guard. I leaned heavily on that series during my first tournament and took double gold in the adult heavy weight white belt division with no wrestling background and no previous grappling experience. In fact, I'd never even rolled without a gi and still won my 3 no-gi matches. All of that was due to Eduardo Telles' instructional. Now, his modern instructionals haven't lost any effectiveness and his teaching has only gotten better and more precise. I love the 2 new series he's put out on Surf Passing and Turtle. Both are easily implemented day one and EASY to watch. He's as gifted a teacher as he is a grappler and I desperately hope he'll do another series on the Octopus guard. So many effective techniques and systems in these instructionals it feels like they should be more expensive to learn a championsship caliber jiu-jitsu game from the master himself.
Surf Passing
Everyone has those techniques that work for them and this dvd fit me like a glove. I surprised lots of my younger training partners with the surf passing approach.

Surf's Up!
Eduardo's "Turtle Revisited" instructional helped improve my game, so when I saw this Surf Passing vid, I knew I had to grab it. Prof. Telles' approach to jiu-jitsu is unconventional and 100% accessible. He breaks down concepts (e.g., circling, or "surfing" to pass your opponent's guard) in ways that make them really easy to understand. I love his kimura attacks on both his Fanatics instructionals, too!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻I'm a big fan of
I'm a big fan of Telles, and his techniques are effective. The concepts shown in this video, the couple that I have a chance to try so far, fit into my game and definitely worked as advertised. Thanks for making the techniques available. Would buy another instructional from BJJF+Telles again. Osss guys.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Surf passing Eduardo telles
It's good to learn different passing styles and add to your game. Telles' passing style is unique and fun to learn. Pulled off some of his moves in my rolls with good results. I hope to see Telles come back to bjjfanatics to create more instructionals.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Easy additions to your game!
Effective and easily executed passing options. I tested some of them with good results at training the same week I watched it. Definitely worth adding to your game.

Very good concepts, even a beginner can follow.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Surf Passing
It's always great to watch a DVD technique video and then watch Youtube videos of the instructor using the exact techniques in blackbelt tournament matches. Makes the DVD techniques being taught so much more valid. Professor Telles uses all of the techniques in his rolling and has proven their effectiveness. I've also had the privilege of experiencing his "Surf Passing" as he used to pass my guard over and over during our rolling!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great material!
Great material!
Although somewhat short and more
Although somewhat short and more about concepts then techniques. Still a very good instructional that helped to expand my game by exposing me to the concept of “surfing”.
Cool!
I remember this guy's films about the Turtle Guard and the Octopus Guard. This new video gives me new nuances and makes me more agile.
