• Thorough guide of the on top position

  I really like the video-course, it gives you a thorough understanding of what happens in the on top position. Gui explains you the goals of the person on top and in guard, the details of the position, what allows you and what prevents you from having a good on top game. I reccomend the video, but I would suggest it for people who already have some experience in bjj.

  Moosung S.May 5, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• understanding the distance on top

  Gui breaks down the distance in a match how important it is to know what you have to do but more importantly knowing what your opponent is likely to do. This concept of distance is not usually discussed in class or if it is it's vague so I've never really understood the importance of distance until now ! It's critical to KNOW what stage you are at in a match (far close contact) so you can then utilize the appropriate technique accordingly. Gui breaks it down so I could understand the concept of distance and if I can learn from a world champion you bet I will !

  I have both 'understanding distance' series and I think this approach is very helpful to understand and build a passing system of my own. Highly recommend! Gui's explanation and demonstration is top notch as expected and Tainan must be the most powerful uke ever!
