Great traditional techniques that will never go out of style. Clear explanations. The half guard and butterfly section works in the gym every time I use them.
Awesome! 🤩 I like the way he teach many of the passes that are used..
Dominique is a great teacher and a great fighter. The positions are efficient and all the explanations rich in details.
I really like the tips and explanations in this instructional. In particular, look at the lasso guard passing techniques. Many of the most common positional are explained. Highly recommended.
great details
Excellent technique. Ive always been a fan of Professor Bell.
I really like Dom's videos on social media so decided to get this as well. Video is paced well and Dom explains the positions well. One to revisit when you are stuck trying to pass a certain position

Great and easy to follow along instructions from Dom, very applicable from the Get go!
D. Bell is a great instructor. His guidance througout this course has a very systematic appraoach. It is very logical and easy to follow. He always points out the key details. His focus is "just" on few techniques BUT the selection makes perfect sense! Highly recommend!
D. B. provides an great instructional with just high percentage passes. First he is outlining the set ups of each guard followed by common sweeping and submission follow ups. Then he goes deeply into the techniques and explains the general principles behind the techniques and lead through the techniques steo by step and points out very clear what you have to be aware of within each sequence of the certain passing technique. Highly recommend!!
This is a good instructional for giving you two guard passing options from a bunch of different positions (closed guard, knee shield, butterfly, quarter mount, de la riva, spider, and lasso). A great instructional for beginners to give you a few basic guard passes from a bunch of positions. He gives positional concepts at the beginning of each position section.
Dom Bell is one of my favorite instructors. Explains things in an easy way and you can apply it right away after you've seen it a few times :D
Very detailed breakdown on common guard passing scenarios. Will be testing this out.
Dom is an awesome instructor, great library of different passing solutions that you may require
Clearness, definiteness. Very good for development of Passing the guard. Highly recommended!
As a white belt, i needed to work on my guard passing and this instruction is it! Easy to follow and use with a training *****. Will definitely check out more videos at the website
I study jiu jitsu a lot both on the mats and with instructional videos - Dominique truly is my favorite instructor. He explains real world techniques so well - breaks them down with the subtleties that often may not get explained but make huge differences. The Passing Answer has helped me so much in leveling up and I appreciate the time, effort and clarity that Dom puts into his instruction. It is time well spent studying the techniques and I do feel that Dominique has condensed the time frame of my learning by months and months with his instruction. I am very appreciative.
Great Instructional. Nice details for passing common guards.
Don provides great instruction with details about passing that only someone who has used them successfully could provide.
Dominique Bell is one of the best teachers in the game. He covers all the basic guards with details for applying the right tensions and pressures to make the passes work. Bell is clear and methodical. An excellent value.
This is the way. Spent way too much time passing lasso and deep half. This has cut that time immensely. Like butter.
Great dvd, covering passing all of common guards. Very good angles and details. I like that Dom first of all show how he does the technique, then he breaks down the details.
