What Will You Learn?

As we age, and our ability to apply strength, speed, and explosiveness to our BJJ exchanges dwindles it becomes even more important that we begin to focus more heavily on BODY MECHANICS, LEVERAGE, AND WHERE TO POSITION OUR BODYWEIGHT. Turning our attention to these themes will provide us with more opportunities to pass the guard, using less energy and GET RID OF WASTED MOVEMENT THAT DOESN'T SERVE US during the passing portions of our training.

There are certain mysterious, SEEMINGLY INVISIBLE CONCEPTS that can make your passing endeavors much more manageable. These concepts are made much clearer through the instruction of BJJ legends like Octavio Couto. Through decades of experience and focused study, Couto has developed a passing blueprint that employs sound mechanics and superior body position to PASS THE GUARD WITH GREATER EASE AND EFFICIENCY. No speed, athleticism, or strength is required here. This is a guide to passing while expending less energy so you can GET TO DOMINANT POSITIONS QUICKLY AND GET TO WORK!

You'll experience Couto’s unique take on themes such as centerline awareness, proper movement, and receive experienced instruction on a handful of passes you already know, but with DETAIL WORK YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. You'll touch on submitting as you complete the guard pass with arm bars and even learn to USE YOUR OPPONENT’S OWN ATTACKS AGAINST THEM DURING THE EXCHANGES!

The depth of Couto’s experience is quickly apparent in these 4 volumes as he delves into some common passing procedures with his EXCEPTIONAL DETAIL. He covers the most common guards that we all deal with, such as the De La Riva guard, the spider guard, and the butterfly guard, and demonstrates how to SYSTEMATICALLY DISMANTLE THEM WITH OLD SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENTIFIC EFFICIENCY. You'll also be treated to some wise words on the history and influence of Brazilian jiu-jitsu through one of its most dedicated and seasoned practitioners!
