Great review of the Sao Paulo pass as well as most traditional passing methods. Highly recommended!
heeavy weight like this pass.
i am hevay weight. dont have speed. i llike this technique. it is very usefull for the close guarder.
Must have!
A vast guide to guard passing, starting with detailed Sao paulo explanation, which is not often presented, but turned out to be very useful when you cannot regain posture.
Game changer video! Really interesting 🙂
Great instruction from a specialist!

great instructional so far!
Fantastic detailed instructional! Big fan, can't wait to give it a go!
This instructional essentially follows on
This instructional essentially follows on from the previous one but in more detail. It contains an oldschool Pressure way of passing through most guards with some nasty tricks. Nogueira makes it unbelievably easy to understand and as usual you can implement straight away with effect. Definitely recommended for those of you who like to torture your opponents into giving up the pass
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:The Best Authority on the Sao Paulo
I'm a big fan of the Sao Paulo pass and this is the ultimate authority on the topic. The advantage of this pass is that, done correctly, you can shut down your opponent's options better than with traditional guard passing. However, the conventional wisdom is that the Sao Paulo only works on opponents your size and smaller. While I'm not certain this is true or not, what I can say is that the Sao Paulo is also a great back up plan should your posture get broken and you get pulled forward anyways. Great video and very thorough, covering a wide range of different scenarios.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Awesome!!!
A great course indeed, it covers all the guards you need to know, from the basic ones to the most complex and annoying ones, a must buy for sure.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Another Gem
Leo Nogueira did it again. This passing instructional is so thorough you won't need any other passing instructionals.
Great Instructional! Highly recommend
Very detailed instruction and complete guard passing system! Leonardo is an excellent teacher breaks everything down in an easy to digest manner. I didn't watch his previous Sao Paulo passing video, but I did watch his content on Insiders Club and that links with this series very well.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:The power of the insiders club
So i watched the private lesson in the insiders club then bought this video. I definitely have attempted the sao paulo pass in rolling and i have take some of the info presented and added it to my game. It is one that i will watch again and again to add more to my game each time. The whole concept of the sao paulo pass was new to me before this video and now i am hunting the opportunities to attempt it.
If you want smash this is it.
Excellent video, great companion to the other Sao Paulo Pass video. If you want to smash, this is the way to do it. Great troubleshooting section.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:MUST BUY!!!
passing move sets I use in rolls
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:must buy!!!

top notch
leo nogueira is a great teacher and athlete. i would reccomend both this and his half guard encyclopedia... this one will absorb and extend the previous instructional on the sao paulo passing system.
