This is an excellent addition to my BJJ library. Well done!
B. F. is giong to show certain techniques and after technique one he always provides links to guard recovery and sweeps. Furthermore he offers a lot of great details of how to stay safe in certain spots and how to avoid further progress of your opponent. He also guides to the ideal posture inside in context of timing and situation inside the closed guard.
Great Details on controlling the opponent while escaping, so you don't get passed right after the escape or the escape gets killed.
Helped me greatly to understand how to shut down the opponents ability to **** my escape or how to pass me right afterwards. John Danahers Pin Escapes Series has a lot more Details on mechanics but Bernardos methods have a good control over the opponent throughout the whole escape process!
Bernardo is a gem. A super nice guy with a great way of teaching with enthusiasm. These defense are super useful, and helps all belt levels. No Bernardo the honor is mine.
Bernardo Faria is an excellent teacher. The video tutorials for each position are good for those those looking to learn the technical details of many escapes.
Faria does a great job at explaining things
A must view for all beginners or those in need of a refresh. All good fundamental techniques with an emphasis on important details that we sometimes overlook.
Professor Bernardo Faria installed an unique instructional! First he is giving an overview of the defnese principles of each position. Then he is giong into certain techniques and after technique one he always provides links to guard recovery and sweeps. Furthermore he offers a lot of great details of how to stay safe in certain defensive positions and how to avoid further progress of your opponent by getting deeper grips or traping one of your limbs additionally and eventually submitting you. He also guides to the ideal posture inside in context of timing and situation inside the closed guard. Highly recommend!!
really good content, great techniques that are effective. worth the money
I own the physical version of this video, bought in another era after a long waiting. It skyrocketed my game as a white belt… loved bernardo from the dijitsu dvds, but here was at his peak.
This was something I searched for when I realized how important it was to not be able to be pinned down. Bernardo nailed it.
Such great foundational information. You have to be able to defend and escape in order to continue the fight. Bernardo’s instruction is always top notch!

Great value for the price. A great resource for beginners, and a good review for the experienced.
Bernardo is an excellent instructor. Awesome instructional on the fundamentals of escapes.
I use to get tired of getting pinned. I wanted to learn how to escape. I love his teaching style and passion. I got out of North South instantly and shocked my training partners. I learned how to get out of side mount and get half guard for attacks. This is money. Great camera angles and easy to understand.
Great instructional for any level. Has many excellent details to sharpen your game and create calm during escapes.
Effective and helpful instructions! I am waiting his next instructional!
Easy to comprehend and includes helpful concepts. I just wish it covered more variations of side control such as kesa gatame.
Best escape instructional with so many details
Nice techniques. Easy to follow
As expected
