What You’ll Learn
Bernardo Faria has taught hundreds of seminars around the world and refined his signature Pressure Passing system into a powerful four-step method that anyone can learn—regardless of rank or athleticism. Over this weekend, you’ll dive deep into his proven approach, designed to make your guard passing more effective, reliable, and pressure-based.
1. The Foundation: Applying True Pressure
Learn how to create the kind of pressure that breaks your opponent’s will. You’ll focus on Bernardo’s two most powerful passing tools: the Over-Under Pass and the Over-Under Brother. These techniques are simple, battle-tested, and central to his game.
2. Getting There: Mastering the Entries
As Bernardo says, “It doesn’t matter how good your Over-Under is if you don’t know how to get there.” You’ll explore all the key entries into the Over-Under positions—how to navigate grips, guard types, and body positioning to consistently force your game.
3. Solving the ‘What Ifs’: Pressure Passing Problem-Solving
Once inside the pass, dozens of variables can show up. Bernardo will teach you how to answer every “what if” scenario—what if they push your head, post on your shoulder, shrimp away, etc. -so you always have a calm and clear solution.
4. Finishing Strong: Securing the Pass and Stabilizing Side Control
Many practitioners fail in the final seconds of the pass. You’ll learn how to finish the pass, establish dominant control, and avoid giving your opponent the chance to recover. Bernardo emphasizes this stage as crucial: “The hardest rounds in my career were the ones where I almost passed but didn’t finish. That’s when you get tired and frustrated.”
