understanding the distance
Good principles for top players
As a top player, I found his principles and details for each distance category really helpful. This instructional includes point summaries after each chapter which I really like. His details on how to clear grips from far distance helped me understand why I was struggling with passing from spider guard.

This instructional has helped understand
This instructional has helped understand the concepts of guard, the different details in closed guard I did not thought of before. The DLR and collar grip and collar sleeve, has exceptionally changed my game and improved my open guard. Awesome instructional overall.

Great details on AOJ guard passing
a good conceptual framework to apply when passing
appreciate the conceptual approach to decision making when passing as opposed to just showing a bunch of moves.

Good technique helps select when to approach guard and select pass in correct order
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Chaining Passes, not just showing random techniques
Strategies for movement and chaining passes. If you are totally new there might be better passing instructionals out there, but if you have a few passess down and want to develop a more fluid game its a good instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Gui's Longstep Pass
A great through instruction packed with details on passing the modern guard. Gui's longstep pass is mesmerising to watch. While everything flows seamlessly, there is a lot to digest, sometimes I find myself getting lost or looking for a detail within the long chapters of the video. Otherwise, an amazing product for blue belts and above.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great guard passing instructional
Gui provides great insight on passing strategies.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Passing with Pressure and Mobility
The Mendes brothers show how to build up and keep pressure from every range. They show when exactly to switch to another range and/or angle to get the oass and eventually get close to secure the pass. Highly recommend!
