Helped my passing
I have A TON of videos. This is one of the best. No joke. Leo’s 50/50 arm control passing system is simple, yet effective. Since first learning it, I’ve had consistent success passing guards (even on higher ranked opponents). The look of bewilderment on an opponent’s face as you take the 50/50 arm control is so fun. Leo takes his time as he goes through the system, it’s entries and finishes. As a bonus, Leo lays out gems of techniques regarding approaching opponents in sitting vs. supine, preventing arm drags, proper knee cut technique and a bunch more. Really, REALLY good. Don’t hesitate to grab it. Thank you Leo for releasing this!
Great instruction from a legend! 50/50 arm pass is very effective. Not sure why this isn't gaining more traction. Once you obtain this grip. It's pretty much a done deal. Recommend getting 50/50 arm pass in the gi too. More overall knowledge of the position and it's possibilities.

High level
For those who want to learn a new type of passing technique, with more control and without exposing themselves, this could be an interesting course. However, because it's something new, you might find it strange at first, but it could be useful for you.
This concept is really good for me. I am getting slower and find difficult dealing with more speedy youngsters.
I have never hear dof this in the past. But it is a good way contorlling distance and determining when/how to pass with your arms only.
very innovative system to pass the guard. I will work on this system!
A very innovative system that will improve your passing game
Next level instruction
Top!!!
Leo V really is one of goats. This system creates big problems for your opponents, it's very unorthodox. Leo's teaching is top notch as expected, easily explains the positions and concepts. If you want to add another variation of passing to your nogi game I highly recommend this. I'll be picking up his gi version of this as well because it looks even more frustrating to deal with lol. Highly recommend this
Excellent blend of concepts and usable techniques. Taught in a way that is easily remembered1
Professor L. V. provided a great instructional of his signature passing system. It fits perfect for me. Because of my stiff knee I am vulneralbe against triangles and so I looked for a method to overcome this with a minimum amount of effort when dangerous szenerios in live rolling arise. This system helps me a lot to confuse and pass my training partners and opponents. Highly recommend!!!
First time coming across this 50-50 passing with the arms. Really innovative stuff. Leo also goes into this technique comprehensively and explores all the different entries and options from the 50-50 based on the opponents reaction. In between his explanations he also highlights fundamental concepts related to passing and body positioning. Highly recommended for all levels.
I'm glad more people aren't aware of this.
This odd looking but logical position is killer. It works on the higher level guys in my gym, giving me a great go to setup when passing
I really like this style of passing. Thanks
Excellent instructional.
Excellent detail would recommend!
This was easy to implement and instantly became my go-to pass. Great instruction and details.
A very innovative passing system. Highly recommended for someone wanting another effective tool in their passing toolbox.
A really innovative take on a position that presents itself a lot of the time but was never really dissected until now. This can be an excellent take off point for passing just like the HQ position.
