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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere 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!\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1800\/2299\/files\/tughsjah_480x480.png?v=1586571065\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"301\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'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.

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.
