Perfecto. Un manjar
The way Bernardo teaches is so clear and easy! I watched the whole dvd in a day and next day I went to spar some rounds with my friends and applied the passes, I can say I had 100% success rate that day. So effective! I can't wait to get on the mats again, hopefully soon...
I recommend BJJFanatics pressure passing playbook to all BJJ players of any level.
Very informative, some key details which I will definitely be adding to my game
I am an older Grappler (56) with not the best flexibility, I'm slow, with average athleticism and Bernardo's instructionals are ideal for me. The way he teaches is also great and his demeanor is so friendly it's fun to learn from him.
I got it for free when Bernardo gave them away. Such an awesome guy. Great teaching
Juste génial. Merci
Bernardo Faria does an amazing job explaining the details of his lethal Over/Under Passing system. After only attempting to apply the basic techniques, I have already had success using this system.
Really sick dvd, learned a lot from it.
This is my first instructor video that I ever got. After watching this and taking notes. I found a lot of things that I will add and try. I have confidence it will improve my passing game. Once the Chinese Virus is lifted. That is of course. Thank you, for the free video also. After I got that I’ve bought his mounted attacks. Also I’ll buy his battle tested half guard. I appreciate what BERNARDO FARIA did for Us during this stressful time. We are all looking forward to the day that our academies will open the doors again. “Just be patient take this time to be thankful for all the positive things in life. Also use this opportunity to get your life in order. I made some goals. Short term and long term. Not only for BJJ but also for my life. Good luck and happy rolls. Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Rob Siltanen
I found the details professor Bernardo explains were essential, as well as, the many different scenarios he goes over to enter and pass with the over/under. Thank you for this video.

I bought both of Bernardo’s pressure passing DVDs and they have made a huge difference in my game. My over-under pass feels like a cheat code against everyone up to the higher-level purple belts in my gym. I’ve even passed some of the brown and black belts’ guards with it. It’s simple, powerful, and great for bigger/slower/older players like me, who can’t keep up with the more athletic styles of passing. Bernardo is a great teacher, and I love his energy in all of his videos. I could listen to him talk about jiu-jitsu all day! I highly recommend this and/or any of Bernardo’s videos, especially if you favor a slower game like this kind of pressure passing and deep half guard.
This instruction really helped me improve my passing. I now get compliments from higher belts on my over under passing. I highly recommend this instructional to anyone looking to improve their top game.
Simple, straightforward, accessible for everyone. This, plus the battle-tested set, have made my passing vastly more consistent.
Bernardo’s pressure passing encyclopedia is superb!
This instructional is really really good. I am a tall somewhat light (either competing at 76 or 82 kg) and I have had a lot of people praising my pressure since I bought this instructional. If you are already a guard passer then this will provide excellent variation to your passing game and if you are new to passing then this is a perfect system to learn.
Bernardo's DVD’s are always my favorite. I can watch them over and over to learn little details that I miss. I like his instruction methods
I got the DVD’s so I can watch and drill when I am at home. So far I have been watching and taking mental notes of the techniques. Last week and this week, I have been having success with equal or lower belts and a fighting chance with the higher ranks, making them huff and puff more and surviving . To authenticate this review, I am a three stripe blue belt at Gracie Barra New Mexico. Profesora include Wesley King, Rafael “Barata” Freitas, and Roberto “Tussa” Alencar.
Great product. There’s a way to transition from any position or guard recovery and chain into a pass or variation of a pass shown here. Great breakdown and detail for each technique and scenario. Would recommend to anyone.
Really good, thorough training videos, worth every penny!
I learned a lot my pressure passing has improved but when will you guys videos on Bread Cutter/Paper Cutter submissions?
Good instructional
Good instructional video.
Most excellent treatment of theory and practice, in a very practical manner, for folks in the, "Old Man's Club" - enjoy!
