Great system. Verytechnical and methodical.
The Grim Reaper of BJJ! Wow!
Inspirational! This guy is the Grim Reaper might as well show up on the mat with sickle like Death.
lots of cool stuff
One day I hope to choke out Eduardo Telles too.
I love how brutally simple and effective this is.
👍
Was able to apply some of these principles the same day purchased. Highly recommended.
This is a great, simple system to really improve your side control game!
awesome techniques
A beautiful mix of begginers and advance moves!! CONTROL IS THE WORD !!
I love the kind of side control that Roberto Godoi teaches, with no rush, a constant pressure and a total control of the opponent.
I needed help on top side control, and these techniques helped a lot. Especially the 200 kilo control which I use it with success for a small person like me.
Great instructional by a phenomenal instructor! I hope to see additional series in the future from Professor Godoi. Highly recommended!
Simply amazing. The best surprise I get from the site.
Professor R. G. provides a very congruent side control system which offers leg drag based retention and progression to 1. high side control with submission follow ups 2. Progression to north south and submission follow ups 3. knee on belly to a modified mount to submission and 4. submissions from top turtle icluding his signature choke and 5. clearly reaction based submissions from side control and turtle top. Highly recommend!
Godoi is a legend, the best bjj fanatics I saw!
I have had the pleasure of attending a live seminar by Master Godoi and the techniques and learned so much. This instructional video does not disappoint- a lot of new techniques that he has not shown before in seminars I attended. Look forward to a sequel - Master Godoi has a great sweep from turtle that I did not see in this one but hope he adds it in what I hope is Vol 2. Well worth the money.
Simple and effective. Professor Gordi present a brilliant strategy in establishing a dominant side control.
I am fortunate to train at G13 HQ in NC, and Professor Godoi doesn’t hold back because this is the same material he teaches here at HQ. Old school basic pressure 🙌�10 stars ⭐️
I'm a fan of Grandmaster Roberto Godoi and I've been accompanying him for many years, his positions are very good with absolute control of the opponent followed by great submissions, really efficient jiu-jitsu, I recommend it to all BJJ lovers, BJJ Harvard. Ossss
Enjoy all the knowledge accumulated since 1988 and learn the ultimate side control to elevate your game. Master Roberto Godoi absolutely make all the difference in the mats. I hope still learning with the best old school bjj around the world!
Master Godoi is the one of a kind when you talk about jiu-jitsu great professor , when he teaches his moves and transitions you keep thinking why didn’t I think about this before really easy to learn and memorize ..I’m his fan since 1998 and really have no words to describe when you see him doing what he does best . I guess his titles and success history is something you want to consider.. I truly miss you master of the masters.
