Really loved this, well explained and how to link things together, definitely gonna get the overhook from everywhere after this, but this will give me lots to work on for now 🙂
Adele does a fantastic job explaining things and showing how things can be chained together, great instructional! 😁
Great details
This stuff is genius, a powerful attacking system that anyone can employ at any age and pretty much any skill level. It should also be noted the production quality is top-notch, gives you everything you need to go out and use the techniques without being so long that you fall asleep on it (Danaher) or so confusing that you have to rewatch it a dozen times.
good!
I learned a lot, I’ll see if it works on the mat. Adele is an amazing teacher and is able to get across the details that nobody talks about, but which are very important. For example, just the description ofthe overhook position his accident, but I’m sure it will make a great difference.
Great video great little details to make it easier under pressure!
Adele shows answers to every option your opponent might try. It is a complete system.
Love it, makes the closed guard more dynamic and dangerous by keeping pressure on the top player. Combining the overbook with the “chop stick” concept, makes the closed guard much more continually offensive without the stops and starts.
I purchased the first Overhook series, and I liked it so much that I got this one which focuses on the closed guard. If you like the overhook, both series are excellent!
Adele Fornarino is an amazing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete who, despite being in the lightest weight class, was the first woman to win the ADCC open class. I truly admire her achievements. Her demonstrations are clear and very helpful. I enjoyed this video so much that I definitely want to purchase her other DVD, "Overhook From Everywhere!!".
Adele does a great job here. Thank you, Adele 👍
This video on Overhook Closed Guard is incredibly informative and practical. It breaks down the concepts in a way that's easy to understand but still packed with details that can seriously elevate your game. The submissions and sweeps shown are not just effective they’re high-percentage techniques that work in real rolling. What really stood out to me is how the instructor connects everything together, showing how to flow from one move to the next based on your opponent’s reactions. If you're looking to add depth to your closed guard and want something that actually translates to the mat, this is a must-watch. Highly recommend.
