This course will be heavily focused on footwork passing, (commonly known as speed passing) versus the Seated Guard. A big priority in this course is to educate your understanding of body positioning, in order to create passing angles before your opponent grips you. At the end of these lessons, you’ll not only have a wide arsenal of passing weapons, but an expanded overall view of Jiu Jitsu and how to apply these concepts everywhere.

After years of requests for my Footwork Passing DVD, I have finally decided this is the right time to give it to you guys! The first series will be reviewing how to approach passing the seated guard. It took me so many years to develop this system. When I started competing at black belt I had a really hard time passing guard, so I spent so many hours trying to develop a way to control and create angles before my opponent fully controlled me. It wasn’t until 2019 I really start to have success with this in competition. That year I won the Brazilian nationals and previously I had zero major titles. This system works at ALL levels, I even have white belts footwork passing – as this has given them a blueprint to viewing guard passing. I hope you guys enjoy this course.
