What Will You Learn?

Matheus Gonzaga, Purple Belt World Champion will teach you to use your speed and quickness as a weapon — even if you're used to getting smashed by bigger guys.

Are you 170 lbs or less and tired of getting smashed and having your guard passed? There is a way to use your smaller size to your advantage.


The truth is that if you fight a bigger opponent and try to match them strength for strength you might be in trouble. But if you use your advantages like your speed and your ability to scramble, and you know the sequences before you start fighting, being small is an advantage.


The key is knowing what guard passes the bigger opponent is going to do and then having a counter for them. This is where Matheus Gonzaga shines. On this DVD set, he has easy counters that will allow you to sweep your opponent quickly and easily even if you are weak as a kitten.


Matheus has counters for pressure passes such as the Torreando, De La Riva Pass Knee Cut, and Double Under Pass that aren't hard to do — even old guys can make these work.

He will also teach you concepts to keep you safe, such as managing distance. One of his best tools to manage distance is using the Lasso and he will show you some very quick and simple sweeps from there that will leave bigger guys embarrassed and looking dumb. Once you have a lasso in, the bigger guy simply can't pass and then Omaplatas from there are a cinch.

From the Closed Guard: Little guys need to manage their closed guards differently than big guys. But one thing that most guys overlook: kneebars are very easy to setup and Matheus will show you how.


Matheus literally grew up in the shark tank: GF Team in Rio. This gym has produced absolute beasts like Rodolfo Viera, Ricardo Evangelista, and Victor Honorio and life there can simply be a matter of surviving. He learned not only to simply survive but also flourish. He won the Purple Belt world title in a division of over 80 competitors.


If you are sick of being smashed, learn from a small guy just like you, who learned to use his smaller size as a weapon.
