Key Features & Benefits 

System-Based Learning

  • A unified framework built around 3 core distances—pass around, over, and under instead of memorizing dozens of unrelated techniques.

  • Plug-and-play structure that works for gi or no-gi and adapts to any guard style.

Distance 1: Pass Around

  • Dominant angle creation and footwork to beat open guards.

  • Strategies for managing frames, hooks, and distance-based guards like De La Riva or collar-and-sleeve.

  • Timing cues that allow you to turn loose engagements into immediate scoring opportunities.

Distance 2: Pass Over

  • Pressure-heavy passing concepts that wear opponents down and force predictable reactions.

  • Knee-cut, smash-style, and body-position details that prevent guard retention.

  • How to maintain upper-body control while transitioning to dominant top positions.

Distance 3: Pass Under

  • Safe, structured entries to underhooks, stack positions, and leg control zones.

  • How to shut down inverted guards and counter flexible opponents.

  • Shoulder-line control strategies that convert stacks into clean finishes.

Execution & Strategy

  • When and why to switch passing distances mid-sequence based on your opponent’s reactions.

  • Concepts for pace management—pressure vs. speed, floating vs. smashing, disengaging vs. closing.

  • Competitive insights from Marcos Tinoco on scoring, maintaining control, and finishing sequences under pressure.

Skill Development

  • Drills that build timing, balance, and sensitivity in all three distances.
