Great concepts and theory to passing at different ranges and connecting techniques
The explanations on how to manage the distance on top and how to pass the guard by Gui are a game changer.
Grew breakdown of the layers . I can’t even imagine the level of confidence the competitors have having GUI Mendes as their strategist . Great video.

In my Gym a lot of people play De La Riva Guard. With his concept it helped me a lot to attack the guard and pass it.
Everything from AOJ is incredible and eye opening. I picked up missing details in every section of this instructional. Packed with content. Filled in holes that I've had for a long time.

A lot of useful tips and general concepts to help understanding top games. Well explained and easy to understand. 10 out 10.
The best kind of instructional: it clarifies all the concepts you need to organize your passing game.
This instructional is outstanding. I think for purple belt and above this is the type of instruction you are looking for. The system Gui teaches is outstanding and can instantly be implemented into your game.

Great overview on guard passing strategy, with emphasis on combinations. There is also a focus on the grips to use, and the mistakes to avoid. Definitively worth studying regularly, the instructional contains many details.
The systems and concepts explained are very clear and concise. It was helpful how he went into the details of limb positioning while giving simple rationalizations. Gui's perspective as a lighter competitor is also helpful.

This video and Understanding Distance from Guard have been great tools for my game. The framework is really helpful.
My 9 year old son gets the concepts taught. He learns a little more about balance and hand positioning everytime he watches it. Hee reviews it after training when the techniques donn't work to see what he needs to improve.
I watched and rewatched it a lot of times, lots of details. Definitely helpful!
Lots of details
The details were very helpful.
I love how Gui was able to breakdown and provide analysis for better understanding of the concepts guided side-by-side with in-depth analysis.
Such clear details on passing! I've been enjoying working through the concepts and adding them into my game. It's beautifully shot as well with multiple angles and annotations as well.

very descriptive, super helpful
Great technical information and concepts to add to your game.
Amazing
this is the best and most serious instructionnal I've ever seen. Very accurate and fights proven. This is hy the Mendes brothes are the best insructors. Great for beginners and more advanced people
Amazing. I was able to add all these concepts to my sparring immediately and have small checkpoints in my head while I was passing. I already try and get to that headquarters/splitsquat position when passing which made this so easy to implement. Plus, who doesnt want to learn from Tainan's teacher. now wheres tainan's instructionals?!
love this so much it puts everthing in place
yes how important are principles not only technics very important instructional super you have to check this out
