Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Conceptual and Techniqual Masterpiece about the Foundation of Berimbolo
Professor Mikey Musumeci demystified the berimbolo for older jiu jitsu players! I like his detailed and systematic apprach about each part of the body and how to utIlize it in the most efficient way! I bought this series to understand the berimbolo better because a lot of the young guns in the gym are using it over and over and I want to became able to deal with it safely so that no one of my training partners get hurt and I do not to. It opend my eyes about inverting in general no matter for which purpose. I almost always struggled because of my neck. Since I use my shoulders to invert if I want to invert it is a way safer and easier. Highly recommend!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Amazing!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The Berimbolo System Part 1
This instructional about the Berimbolo is one of the most profound on the market today. Mikey always teaches the concepts of his systems with passion and great detail so that you may know the science behind every move. Truly another classic from Mikey.

There aren't a ton of berimbolo instructionals out. This one does a great job of breaking everything down in extreme detail.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻OMG...

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻All questions answered and more
You can tell Mikey is really passionate about getting you to understand the Berimbolo. Some instructionals are monkey see monkey do, but Mikey breaks stuff down and covers every pitfall. Your bolos will be better after this.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Must buy

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A Surprisingly Comprehensive Video
Mikey has an incredible ability to communicate how to do this position. As he explains, he always gives you the "why" of the position, which aids immensely with having a comprehensive understanding of whatever position comes up. He's also comprehensive - he starts at the very beginning (double pull) and goes step by step to the end (taking the back), covering every variation he thought to cover. He gives drills to help with learning the steps (eg using just the legs to lift the opponent) to promote more efficient technique. Every step gets a clear explanation with tons of repetition. By the time you're done a berimbolo, which is a multi-step strange-looking process seems quite normal and logical, without any magic. Also awesome - he shows how to do the berimbolo with your forehead and not your neck. Or your shoulders and not your neck. There's other videos where guys teach maintaining guard and they use inversion - if you're old or injured, this may not be an option. I am old, weak and not very flexible, but even I can roll on my forehead and berimbolo someone, which is ridiculously fun. If nothing else, my grips will be better because I'll make sure to go bone-to-bone when I want to maintain space. The only thing I wish Mikey had was a review where he succinctly summarizes what you do in what situation. E.g. I have an instructor that breaks down things (because he can't talk English well) into 1, 2, 3 and 4. E.g. 1 - grab at the knee. 2 post and lift up. 3 push in and sweep the leg over. 4 let go pants, get underhook and pull into guard. Such mnemonics make it very easy to remember the steps and the details for each. Maybe I missed it, but at the end of this, I don't think there is a 1,2,3,4 that goes over the different steps. But - you've got a video, so you go over it and you write up the steps. This is an absolutely amazing video. Even if you're not going to bermibolo someone, there's so much stuff you can learn. Finally, Tammi deserves credit for being a great uge, although I wish she'd had a better mic so it wasn't so hard to hear her questions - they are usually very relevant.
Best berimbolo system you’ll ever find!
2 weeks into my Jiu Jitsu career I attended a Mikey and Caio seminar at my academy. They showed their berimbolo from de la riva since then it was the only berimbolo I knew until I got my hands on this instructional. Mikey is an incredible instructor and is so technical, there is not a single detail he leaves out. I am only half way through the series but I am loving every minute of exploring this position. Thanks Mikey!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Loved this

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The Berimbolo System Part 1: The Foundation by Mikey Musumeci
I really enjoyed this Berimbolo system. Its extremely detailed and relatively easy to learn. I've already "hit it" on several classmates. Do it! You wont be sorry.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome instructional from a pioneer
Awesome instructional from a pioneer of the berimbolo system. It's rare to encounter someone with even a basic understanding of the berimbolo as a move, now you can learn the berimbolo as an entire system from the master. A must have if you want to have a modern game!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Good!!!

Best instruction out there! Expected to learn about awesome details about the berimbolo, which i did but also much more. Concepts and details that i will be looking to implement in all my positions. I will be buying all of mikeys instructionals, oss!
Response from BJJ FanaticsOSSSSMusumeci's passion is infectious
I just watched the first volume so far after buying this DVD, and I can already tell this is one of the gem instructionals of this website. Mikey's passion to want the viewer to learn is infectious. You can absolutely hear it just in his voice and presentation. I'm 40+ and not flexible, but the berimbolo system is something I've always wanted to learn but been tentative due to a bad neck. At MINIMUM I can already tell that even if you don't attack with berimbolo's yourself, if you go through this instructional (drilling it) you will have a deep understanding of the position itself in order to know what your partner/opponent is trying to do, and you can at least react to it in the right/better ways. Ossss.
Response from BJJ FanaticsOSSSSSThis is something not to miss out on...
Don’t even know where to get started. What I’ve learned is that Mikey is not only an expert in Berimbolo but he’s also an expert in teaching and helping people understand. I am on the second video and I am absolutely HOOKED. In my opinion, this is wayyy too well priced for the value you are getting. Mikey, thank you for this DVD man, like seriously. 💙
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗A MUST BUY!!!!!!!!!
Mikey is one of best bjj practitioners of our time and also one of the most technical. The way he breaks down and thinks about techniques is very unique and is found in this dvd. This is his masterpiece. His life’s work. I have been Mikey’s main student since he started even learning and figuring out the berimbolo and the techniques he has taught me (which are found in this dvd And the others to come) have helped me to win many tournaments of my own including black belt worlds. If you want to better your game and your overall understanding of bjj do yourself a major favor and get this dvd. Trust me on this as his partner in the dvd as well... it is worth every penny!
Response from BJJ FanaticsTammi, you're also one of the best BJJ practitioners of our generation! Thanks so much for your review! 🤗
