Very interesting aginst opponents that are really trying ti pin us
Excellent training for translations and combinations
This video will make you a better person
Transitions are important, and I'm grateful for that.
The best master
Excellent instruction that ties many of his techniques together in a useful way.
Excellent, that's what makes you a professional.
This is a really excellent concept based DVD. I'm a small guy, not particularly talented and I've been able to implement a good chunk of it in live rolling

This was one of the first instructionals showing a full gameplan rather than just a bunch of techniques, its the systematic approach. There could be more specific details, ie: responses to common defenses, as this is the main thing that can make transitions difficult. There's nothing wrong with it, theres just better options in 2025, even from Faria himself. Its best for beginners in my opinion.
Series that deals with combinations of techniques, very detailed and applicable
Exactly the examples needed to tie his concepts and techniques together. Outstanding content

Great instructional
Professor Bernardo Faria is a master of simplicity! He absolutly points out the key details of the moves and the timing yet told in a very general way so that it is easy to catch the concepts and principles behind. He is almost the only one who is not using special terms so that even a complite novice could get it. ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE!!!!
Great

Very detailed explanation of putting things together. Bernardo's style is great for the non-super athletic, older person, women, etc.. EXCELLENT STUFF and big time honor for me
make it so simple to understand and apply it durring rolls!
