Amazing details, it works well. Simple, efficient and effective.
Excellent clear material. Lots of good content that you can adapt right away
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.
That was a really impressive transition from a guard pass to taking the back.

Bernardo has awesome charisma, and his system is easy to understand
A new vision on back attacks with many option
an interesting system, which shows multiple combinations of back attacks
Bernardo is a great teacher and this is a great way to control and take the back
Professor Faria doesn´t show just one back take. He explain a whole game arount that back take. That´s why I higly recommend this instructional.
Working from the back, and everything you need to do it. Thank you!
series covering every aspect of the back grip
Just got this instructional like four days ago and have only been able to watch the first "disc". I was intrigued after picking up Bernardo's Old Guy Fundamental Game Plan during the free offer. Hit this back take in my first gi class after watching during a transition. Finished with a sliding collar choke. FWIW, I'm 61.
Thanks for effective and Powerful Technique This back attack is very useful
Can't go wrong here, back take gi alternative to the classic seat belt.
Bernardo, the video for the control from the back is very good. A lot of useful children
Bernardo is a professional. Simple and working techniques. Thank you!
A detailed analysis of taking the back specifically in a gi with a single strap. Not like many other back control series as it goes into details on this specific grip.
Bernardo Faria shows you a complete system which is easy to implement into your game. He teach straight to the point without letting out important details.
amazing instructional changed my back take game
This a was great instructional. It gives you a clear and simple map to get to the back.
Great instructional!!
Great instructional
Professor Bernardo Faria provided an easy to follow and simple to apply backtake and attack series around the single strap backtake. The explanaitions are on point and the counters to your opponent's counters are built up in systematical way. I am often struggeling with seat belt backtakes because of a lack of mobility in my left hip and knee. I was able to apply the backtake immediately in sparring. I am looking forward to use it after dfillung a lot!! Highly recommend!!
If you care about gi back game, this will be an invaluable sources of high level technique
Easy to understanding taking back with single strap.
very well explained!
Once on a open mat, I Tomae Nage a Blue belt & he took it badly. This Single Strap Back Take looks like another technique that will make another overconfident belt holder fish food. Sheep like to sport weapons too & Single Strap Back Take looks like an awesome weapon. You have to drill your techniques till you react with ease. Going to drill this so when I show up on open mat again only fellow white belts will want to roll with me.
Great details and instruction on variations of the best place to be........someone’s back!
Excellent details! As always a great product.
Excellent instructional as always !
Przyzwoita szkoleniówka
Well what can I say? It’s Bernardo Faria a 5 time world champion. For those you that don’t know, Bernardo’s learning material is first class and very easy to understand and especially ideal for the older grapplers in the game. As for Faria’s latest instructional the Single strap back take? It’s Excellent and the Single strap back take has become my favourite method for taking the back. What can I say? It works real well, like all his other material does.
This is the only tool I use now to hone my BJJ skills. They are always informative and show angles that keep my learning moving forward. After a long time training it's hard to keep motivated sometimes and BJJF always does the trick. Well done. Highly recommend.
Bernardo is the reason why I set up an account on bjjf. Still to this day I am thankful for the opportunity to learn your techniques. I started bjj in 2002, but because of a career change (a long time in the military) i was less and less able to train under an instructor consistently. I have retired from service and have started studying bjj again, I have stated back as a white belt. My game has completely changed, I am the old guy you often talk about... I am forever grateful. This instructional is fantastic, a solid technique, with every eventuality covered. Five stars
