Great purchase for the beginner
great content, even when you are an advance student you cant forget the basics, the basics basically wins the tournaments.
Wow, I got stuck in and bought a ton of instructionals not realising the gold in this one. It's my favourite fundamentals instructional and is a great refresher for all the most important techniques.
This is a must buy for white belts. Faria explains the techniques very well.
New to Bjj. This course is exactly what I needed. Can not wait to implement the newly learned basics in my gym. Great structure of the course and good explanations.
great for beginners
This gives you a good overall overview of the core techniques everyone should know. I'm a white belt and found it very helpful.
very informative covers every little detail and shows multiple views from each position. I'm picking up so many tips
AmaIng video Bernardo is a great instructor and teacher! He explains all the concepts easy to understand. I loved this video as a bjj beginner!
I learned so much from B. Faria. He explains difficult concepts clearly and easy to understand. His lessons are very organized. The pace of his teaching style is perfect. His voice is very energetic. His lessons will not put you to sleep unlike other instructionals I watched (which I never finished). I hope he makes more video instructionals. (like without gi).
master class of course
Have this and intro go videos. i recommend both for someone new to sport. Helps with understanding more of the what, how, and apple why
What an amazing introduction to the fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu. A must have for any white belt
Awesome Lessons. I use the techniques regularly in class
excelent for beginers
Awesome lessons. I've been using most of these techniques regularly in class!
I've watched and revisited techniques within this series many many times throughout my white belt journey. After learning a technique in class, I would re-watch Bernardo's instructional to reinforce those small details. Highly recommend. I'm sure I will keep coming back to re-watch this series for many years to come
great and simple way to break things down for beginners.
Every house needs good foundations!
As one progresses further along the road that is BJJ, it becomes increasingly important to look over the foundations. And what better way to do it than with Bernardo Faria? In this instructional Bernardo goes through fundamental moves from all the well known positions. This is an instructional to keep as a reference over the most important basics of Jiu-jitsu.
im a zero stripe white belt. I have found his teaching Increadibly useful and enlightening.
great foundation - also the more advanced student can take a lot of benefits from this video.
I started training jiu jitsu about 2 months ago at an academy with no beginner class, but a bunch of killers. The focus is mainly rolling for 45 minutes with about 20-30 minutes drilling, so I felt I was lacking a lot of basics. This helped tremendously.
I like the passion Bernardo has for jiu jitsu. It's great to learn the fundamentals from him. I also have his half guard instructional for when its time to specialize a bit in that area.
