Felipe Pena is one of the most successful competitors and black belts of all time, with three world championships in the gi and and absolute ADCC world championship in 2017. Now you can learn from one of the greats of the sport as he shows you the inside details behind how “Preguiça” - Portuguese for sloth - slowly but surely increases his control from guard with his system for patiently taking what they are giving him from half guard and working for the sweep.

Use Felipe’s system for attacking the near arm, attacking the farm farm, and getting the legs to mix things up and to use what they give you so you can build up a steady controlling game on your opponent - so you are never having to get out of position. Felipe explains how he combines the threats of sweeps, back takes, submissions, and more to create the most dynamic half guard possible - and how grapplers of any level can follow his coaching and have great results.

Felipe shows you not just how to perform every technique, but how they all connect together so that they can create a unified guard for you to fight with. This same knee shield has helped him create a strong no-gi guard game that he uses very effectively to win at the elite levels, using his 0 to 100 concepts that are on display here.

The knee shield is a popular guard but Felipe’s attacks are a little unorthodox, so pick up this 3-part instructional today and diversify your half guard with offense like the parakeet sweep, belly down roll, and more.
