The reviews
Perfect
Felipe Costa has a very interesting and beautiful game. The Y closed guard will give you a ability to lock and slow down training partners, and they will be stuck in a system with lots of options. Great instructor and well set up instructional.
Game changer
Incredible knowledge in this video. Really surprises my training partners when applying y guard in training. Looks complex but it is not. Simple and engaging.

Y Guard
Y guard pairs well with X guard and single leg X and this instructional will give you additional options.

Something new
Interesting game!
Very nice and useful concepts and positions.
Fascinating
Good stuff!
Confuse all your opponents!
A lot of guys have weird BJJ systems but very very few of them have worked at the highest levels. this one is gold, no one will know what to do in these positions unless they have this instructional. it's a must buy if you want an edge of all your training partners

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Muito inteligente a transição da Guarda Y
Impossível visitar a Brazilian Black Belt e não ter sido envolvido com essas variações muito bem desenvolvidas. Felipe é na minha opinião um dos melhores professores do Brasil, com uma didática fácil de entender!!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Innovative and effective
Mestre Felipe has been confusing blackbelts of the highest levels, sweeping them and taking their backs for ages. He is an excellent professor who makes his secrets easy to understand.. Highly recommended
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Details
I'm a half guard player and I find myself in a modified version of this position quite a bit. I think the details Felipe gives are most valuable. What he teaches about hip position and connections not only enhance this position, but can be applied to many other positions and techniques to improve my overall game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Eye opener
Love this series! Really opens your eyes to concepts that Felipe Costa has developed using this unique guard. He really has a great way of teaching with so many scenarios that he has experienced at a world class level. Great stuff!

Felipe Costa has been my mestre for almost 3 years and I am so glad to have met him and start to train in his academy. His classes as well as being bewitching, are very technical, with many details. The Y-guard is amazing and for sure you will like it! Thanks mestre for sharing your knowledge! Oss.
Response from BJJ FanaticsOSSSSAshi garami closed guard ( Y Guard)
The strongest guard I experienced . It always worked even with no deep knowledge. Now I just going to get my level up. Thanks for sharing to us Felipe !
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Felipe Costas Technique
I’ve being training on Felipe’s team for more than 12 years and attended many seminars and camps. His technical details are extra sharp because of his size, most of his training partner are bigger than him and that’s why he developed more profound understanding of The concepts. I highly recommend to watch his videos, specially those focused on Y GUARD and Half Guard.
