Not just a guard player now. Really helped my passing
Met Espen at his UK seminar a few months ago and really enjoyed what was shown and how well stuff was explained. so I checked out what other stuff was available and it’s very good. Each part is explained and gives tips to help you remember them. It’s helped me loads as a light female these moves and positions are very effective for me. Definitely worth purchasing. Thanks
Everything these two put out is solid. I'd buy it again.
pretty complex passing attacks.
Love this one! I re-watch all the time!
Once again, Tommy and Espen provide great content!
Another great one from these guys. Content is fantastic.
very well made series that embraces different solutions, all connected to each other
Love this one. Viking Guards is incredible as well.
very detailed modern passages and effective combinations
excellent passing the guard, new passage very detaglied
modern passages from different open guard and half guard positions, many useful details.
Passing the guard from every open guard, very dettagliated work
This instructional includes well known passes like knee slide, back step, over under, double under, but it also tells you why to use which of them and how to modify them for more effectiveness. Great for developing a very technical passing game.
modern and effective guard passages, detailed explanations
excellent series on guard passes, practical and functional
very detailed series, recommended for fans of guard passages
a personal approch on new and old pass
approccio moderno di passaggi da diverse angolazioni
I love the way they teach
one of the best instructional, details explained carefully
Extremely happy with the purchase and instruction quality!
Nice pass system
This nordish guys offer a very clear and on point instructional about guard passing. 1st half is about how to get to and execute the kneecut if possible from RDLR and stackpass/legdrag from RDLR. 2nd half is about over/under based guard passing via over/under passes or through transitions to hip staple passes, leg drag and stack passes. Recommend!
Tommy's game is great. He shows some great techniques to attack the back after the pass and also has some tweaks on guard passes i have been using for years.
Super cool details to passes. Guys are very experienced with competitions and teaching this makes this instructional very good to implement in our own game.
very good method to pass the guard and well detailed because the detail in bjj is important great video
Langaker is a top competitor, a great teacher (along with Mathiesen) and you will get tons of stuff perfectly explaining. loved the material - it feels a new school dvd with deep roots in the old school. amazing video.
instructional very well done. Useful and helpful Practical and easy to apply Good
Clear, uncommon, practical!
I really enjoyed this entire instructional, particularly Espen's knee slice passing system. I really like how he methodically moved through setup and then variations based on your opponent's most likely responses.
Good material that is presented clearly. The passes work in practice. I would have liked to see a small overview of the different positions in the beginning. For example, what is reverse de la riva, and what makes it work.
I got these videos when they were on the daily deal, thanks @BJJFANATICS for the deals. The trailer looked very interesting and I was intrigued to see more. I was very curious to see what/how Europeans/Nordics are approaching guard passing as I suspected it would be different from the techniques shown by Brazilians or North Americans. The techniques were really interesting. These two athletes are very technical and have a very fluid approach to passing the guard. I highly recommend. The details these guys show are really good and will be beneficial to any athlete looking at new approaches to guard passing.
Excellent instructional. Very clear on details. I like the way they show the positions in real time speed as well.
One of the best instructionals covering the modern guard game. Both Tommy and Epsen are great instructors. Both having an eye for detail, but also have the ability to pass those details over to the viewer. Absolutely loved every bit of the Viking Series
