The reviews
The cradle for gi
Great instructional . Everything is really well explained. Explanations are maybe a bit repetitive at times but the techniques are really good. He likes to keep things simple, and his techniques are simple, yet very effective. That's the way I like it too.
interesting series
This is a really excellent concept based DVD. I'm a big guy, not particularly talented and I've been able to implement a good chunk of it in live rolling
Live cradles
Great take on cradles if you like playing that game
Interesting series

Great System
The types of controls and positions in this video compliment Lovato Jr's Passing Passing systems and Matt Darcy Death passing very well. All emphasize heavy, smothering pressure using twisting and head direction to make the person want to give up on the way, but all in their own unique way of doing so. I highly recommend this one as a compliment to Lovato style passing , but do not believe it to be a beginner passing system to work on first.
high percentage
this integrated very well and quickly into my game.

Lapel Cradle
Excellent details on using the cradle to keep your opponent out of position. Some good sections on how to apply to specific guards also... 10/10
Cradle away!
This was a great video with a technique that looks really effective. If you have a wrestling background and love cradles take a look!
Great
Liked the instructional overall specially how Braulio linked the pass to approach different guards. From sure this will be in my toolbox now on.
Very Good Passing System
Braulio Estimas Gi Cradle Passing System works excellent for me. If you like a controlled pressure based game this instructional is a must have for you. I used this style a lot and it is one of the best passing instructionals in the gi I have ever saw.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Upgrade the cradle!
You get short and precise concepts with a few keypoints. It is combining pressire passing and the control via cradle. You male him unable to move and the cradle tighter and tighter when your movement progresses. Highly recommend!

My teammates are notoriously annoying with their knee shield half guards at my school and the lapel cradle pass is a great solution for me as an older guy.

Love this. Braulio is a Juijitsu genius.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Absolutely brilliant
Estima is incredible! Such a great instructional. Because it only relies around one position, it is incredibly detailed and rich. A must have for people who enjoy pressure and who likes to 'cook' their opponents.

Cradle passing is getting more and more popular, especially in no-gi. This instructional teaches how to do it in gi as well, and is a great addition to your guard passing game. Braulio gives clear and straight to the point instructions, so you can start implementing the techniques ASAP. Highly recommended!

Great instructional with very practical techniques from in my opinion, one of the very best in the BJJ game. I will certainly be trying these techniques when the quarantine period is over and I'm sure it will improve my passing game.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The Lapel Cradle Formula by Braulio Estima
Great technique for getting to a leg smash position!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Powerful approach to passing alot of the modern tricky guards.
I purchased this as it works very well with my pressuring style of passing. The lapel cradle pass allows you to keep constant pressure, balance, and fatigue your oppenents legs/grips. I highly recommend everyone get this pass into their game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻
