I knew that my BJJ strategy was weak on guard passing, and as a 200 lb 46 year old, a slow, pressure-based approach works well for me. After studying this series and systematically drilling the concepts with a training partner, I've notice a dramatic improvement in my guard passing. I now have much more confidence where I previously was vulnerable.
very interesting and often underrated passing system
concise
Great instructional for Tozi style pass, recommended.
Amazing techniques. I've always loved playing passing guard and this DVD has taken that part of my game to the next level.
🔥🔥🔥
Very good old school pressure passing instructional!
complete series analyzing in detail guard passages from every position
complete series focused on guard passes, simple and effective
Many passing guard with very dettaglied techniques
If you are pressure pass player, this one is very helpful
I like this kind of paisering. Definitely worth a look for Gi players. For people who mainly train no-Gi, it's better to avoid it. there are others who have adapted this type of passing to no-gi.
Leo, as always provides a master class instruction!!!
series focused on guard passes from every position both closed and open. dozens of techniques explained in detail
pass of fundmental i like this technique.
Very informative if your wanting to leave this pass
great
good stuff by leo
Around 2009, I trained for three months with the Alliance team in São Paulo. Leo Nogueira and Bernardo Faria were already champions, but they were incredibly humble and kind—even to me, an Asian. Since then, I started mimicking their play, and I bought this lesson because I wanted to recreate the legendary movements they had shown in the past. I'm completely satisfied.
all of his instructionals are fantastic.
This instructional has more passes other than the sau paulo that shouldn't be overlooked and in my experience, have been battletested on the mats and is probably one of my favorite guard passing instructionals I come back to study.
Always an honor to learn from Professor Leo
Oldschool knee on the ground and a lot aof pressure!!!!
This is best of basic passes to master!
I love the Sao Paulo pass and this instructional is virtually definitive!
