Masterclass de Alex
Tuve la oportunidad de entrenar con Alex en su gimnasio en Peniche, allí me dijo alguna técnica que aplicó a mis combates y me di cuenta su gran trabajo con los crucifijos...espero aprender mucho más con este curso!
Magic details
Alex has a very unique style that has many gold nuggets of info on the crucifix and kimura positions.
Pretty Good
Covered various techniques from different positions. He was easy to follow but I would of liked more info on how to transition from more positions.
Mastering the Crucifix

Mastering the Crucifix
Excellent video course, well explained! I was able to learn a lot of new things!
Great Breakdown, Weird Order
Excellent nuts & bolts breakdown of this underutilized system! Clear discussion of setups, entries, & contingency plans. Only complaint is that we really needed an intro to the basic technique & its overall utility before the series proper began. It would have made more sense to order these 2, 1, 3, because I was so confused & lost watching 1 that I almost just pulled the ripcord & asked for a refund. Pleased I hung in there, but I’m definitely going to have to go back & re-watch part one now that I understand the basics.

Effective technique
Effective technique! Easy to understand! Thanks for sharing great techniques!
Superb!
Mastering the Crucifix by Alexandre Pereira has been a game-changer for my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practice. As someone who values maintaining space over compression and thrives on fluidity rather than brute force, this instructional seamlessly aligns with my style. Pereira's approach to the crucifix offers a unified system that allows for effortless transitions into the position, whether from scrambles, turtle, or side control, making it feel like a natural extension of my game. One of the most impactful lessons was the emphasis on creating opportunities through space, transforming what might seem like a vulnerability into a strategic advantage. Once the crucifix is secured, it truly feels like a “game over” position, offering a level of control that’s both physically efficient and mentally calming. Knowing I can lock down an opponent with minimal risk has significantly boosted my confidence in all positions, from takedowns to groundwork. The instructional also addresses specific challenges I face, such as counters to single-leg takedowns, which Pereira breaks down with clarity and precision. His methods turn a common threat into an opportunity to gain control and transition into offense. Additionally, his concept of exploiting open elbows in the closed guard has revolutionized my approach, providing a simple yet effective way to open the guard while maintaining leverage.
Crucifix wizzardy
Excellent instructional on Crucifix, beautiful dojo.
Finally Crucifixing Everybody
I attended one of Alex's seminars in Chiclana last year and was impressed by his smooth jiu-jitsu and teaching. Finally, I can dive deeper into his trademark system, packed with amazing techniques and smooth entries.
