Really unique - I think my teammates will be befuddled!
Many passes covered beyond just back escape. Can skip volume 1, the theory becomes more obvious in subsequent volumes.
Tout est bon, La sortie avec la prise du pompier. C'est une sortie par le bas pour finir en yoko shiho gatame.
WD instructionals are always a great choice Great concepts Great ideas Top
Wim D always has a lot of good insights in his instructionals and this in no exception. I think this is a very comprehensive back defense system that you can implement right away. Recommended!
now i can more easy back escape.
Very good concepts that will help you to defend your back
If you wish to slowly cook your opponents with a scientific approach to basic human movement formula for bjj, even if you are in, traditionally considered, bad spots... This is the instructional for you. Loved the fireman!
This stuff is so good. Underrated coach
Wim has a different philosophy. if you like it, a real game changer. worth a shot
Wim Deputter is in a category with Priit Mihkelson. This information should be taught in every school. Excellent.
Great material as always from Wim. A must for longevity in the sport.
Very good instructional!
Wim has amazing techniques and some of the moves in here have saved me many times from having my back taken. I highly recommend!
Awesome techniques and unorthodox that will help you survive and escape surprising your training partners. highly recommend
Wim explained it very easy, now serious to start learning and growning
A wonderful combination of techniques and concepts which are very effective. This series provides great safety nets for being in bad positions. The unique nature makes it very difficult to counter. The slow and progressive movements are totally non threatening and opponents typically do not give you credit, until it it too late to stop. This series has opened up more than just a few defensive options . The ability to know I can recover from back attacks, has resulted in more confidence in fully committing to my own attacks. Excellent series and instruction, no regrets!
Exceptional series. The small effective details completely frustrate and place your opponent on the offence from a defensive position. I've had the opportunity to train with Wim at a few camps and have felt it in action. The slowness of the game is non threatening to your opponent until they realize it is too late. I have other series from Wim and can recommend them with out hesitation. This elite level series will not disappoint!!!
A new revolutionary approach of BJJ, by a very friendly, open instructor and person, who not only loves the art of BJJ, but lives and breaths it!
Every time I meet Wim and get the chance to train and hear his view of BJJ, it´s like a door opens in my mind. The principles and techniques he share on his videos here are priceless and will leave you with a feeling you want to learn more and more Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
I had the great opportunity to roll and learn from Wim Depputer, amazing fighter and teacher with a complete knowledge about bjj and grappler and MMA, with a lot to share. Buy his DVD for sure is a smart way to invest money in BJJ.
Amazing content. I've seen a lot of videos out there, and this takes the cake. Explains a few systems, some of them using natural postures that I believe he may have rediscovered, and the systems are all well explained and shown in a variety of useful contexts. It's even changed the way I sleep. lol. Great stuff by Wim, concise yet very thorough and diverse explanations. Huge fan of his channel, newest ideas I've seen in years. I may be biased as some of it fit my game well already, but it is perfection that I have been missing for years, and am very grateful for all the stuff he puts out.
Wim's material goes hand in hand with Priit's. The mirroring principle takes a bit to comprehend, but once you get it, it opens up defense and offense from nearly all positions.
You cannot go wrong buying any instructional video from Wim Deputter. He excels at simplistically explaining and showing you how to use the structure of your body's musculoskeletal system through the multiple concepts and techniques he teaches to substantially increase force (strength) and leverage without having to significantly engage your true muscle strength. As a 59 year old small man no gi grappler employing his systems have been game changing. I've only looked at a couple of snippets of this video on line on Facebook last night but I already used his back escape concept of forward hip hinging and grabbing the feet and reverse from back control. Not only that he's a really nice guy and when you text him with questions he writes you back or sends you a voice message like he did today before I rolled. Though we've never met in person, I consider him to be one of my coaches
After watching the first dvd I had to buy this dvd too. After years of training and competition its difficult to find new inputs... But here u get a hole mirror of inputs! Its game changing dvd. Thx
This series is an excellent system that teaches you how to get creative and develop a fresh approach how you are currently learning BJJ. You will find yourself discovering new ideas on how to solve old questions regarding positions, leverage and control. Original in its approach and it will add much value to your game.
definitely worth watching!
Excellent video, very well explained
Wim's teachings are priceless. I saw him rolling with my own eyes vs another solid black belt and applying all those techniques. My jaw dropped in awe. This is excellent stuff which I'd recommend any time, any gym, to anyone - whether you are a beginner or a confirmed black belt.
Very practical while rolling, I definitely recommend this DVD. It changed my game completely.
Very detailed but only important and practical things It will change your whole game and you will see improvements during your rolls straight away Highly recommended!
if you interest in turtle guard and pressure passing game, buy this dvd ! his system is works really well ! 백디펜스에 크게 도움이 되는 강좌로 압박패스와 딥하프가드를 사용한다면 묶어서 시스템으로 사용할 수 있습니다. 유튜브에 이 시스템을 사용한 이사람 경기 영상과 디브이디로 낸 시스템 세미나 영상이 다 있기 때문에 먼저 찾아보고 마음에 들면 구입하는것을 추천합니다. 개인적으로 만족스런 강좌여서 유튜브에 거의 다 풀린 내용임에도 구입했습니다. 개별 기술을 보여주는 강좌가 아니라 개념적인 설명이 하고 몸의 구조와 움직임을 바탕으로 기술을 설명하기 때문에 그냥 보고 따라하는 용도로는 부적합합니다. 하지만 원리를 이해하면서 보면 응용이 가능한 부분이 많은 강좌입니다.
First of all I do NOT want People knowing this system. I've been using the back defence for a couple of weeks now and almost nobody was able tot finish me. They simply have no answer and Often get reversed without them realising the reversal is coming. In short: extremely helpful and effective. I Will have to step up my game once People start to use these principles.
