This Marcelo Garcia black belt has serious skill in every position! Top, bottom, standing, he’s always attacking and trying to bring the fight to his opponent with solid technique and a champion’s attitude. A look at his results reads like a “who’s who” of the modern BJJ landscape, with signature wins over Lucas “Hulk” Barbosa, Paulo Miyao, Murilo Santana, Otavio Sousa, DJ Jackson, and the list goes on! The Alliance representative has the high-level hardware to back it up, with accomplishments at every level, including IBJJF World black belt silver and bronze medals, scores of IBJJF regional championships, and strong showings at every tournament you can name.

What’s his secret? The MGA fighter is always able to bring the fight to positions he is strongest in, and his bulletproof lasso guard has brought him tons of success. Now, this world-class lasso guard is yours for the taking because Marcos is partnering with BJJ Fanatics to show you how you too can master this important position. See all the sweeps and submissions that have turned Marcos into a fierce competitor with this three-volume set. This is one of the most comprehensive lasso guard instructional sets you will find anywhere! Marcos has a real talent for teaching, and you will work through every detail, leaving no stone unturned, as you dive deeper and deeper into studying the lasso.

So what makes the lasso guard so great? It’s a great position for the bottom person because you can use your leg to hook inside of your opponent, letting you control their posture, distance, and angles of attack all at the same time. You force them to fight on your terms, and that keeps you in control of the action. At every tournament, fighters are using the lasso to control and win, and now you can join in by learning from one of the best in the game today. Tinoco’s sweeps and submissions are some of the cleanest techniques on the scene, and he shows everything across these three volumes.

If you are a jiu-jitsu practitioner who is really trying to advance his guard game, this special set is perfect for you. With no special body type needed, you can jump right in with the basics of control and defense before you start adding and building the attacks. In no time, you can be firing off your back with machine-gun attacks, chaining your moves like a real pro.

There’s no experience needed here because Marcos starts his series simply with an introduction to how he sets and controls people from the lasso guard. This isn’t the same instruction you can get in any basics class; this is the inside scoop from one of the best at how he has made a career from this position. Once you have the concepts down, Marcos starts taking you through the most reliable moves that he has in his arsenal. With chokes, joint locks, and high-impact sweeps, this is one of the most dynamic guards we’ve ever created a series for.

Marcos hasn’t just been busy studying these positions; he’s also been using his creativity to add his own flair. The Super Marcos Sweep he shows is a work of art that is his unique creation, and he has been using it to score on everybody this year. Marcos is also really comfortable flowing from his lasso to other guards, using positions like single leg x and inverted guard to keep his options open to always find the next attack.
