No Gi Pressure Passing

By Bernardo Faria

View course on BJJ Fanatics

No Gi Pressure Passing by Bernardo Faria develops an over/under-centered passing game, from reaching the position to dealing with defensive reactions and submission threats.

The four-volume series devotes sustained attention to over/under troubleshooting before expanding into other pressure passes and positional follow-ups. It suits no-gi passers who want depth in that approach without limiting the whole course to a single pass.

Is this for you?

• You want an over/under-based no-gi passing game.
• Your over/under attempts stall against hip escapes, pushing defenses or leg hooks.

Also consider

Gordon Ryan: No-Gi Guard Passing — For a broader no-gi passing course with split squat, half butterfly, knee shields and leg-entanglement positions.

Coverage and limits

• Over/under mechanics and entries from guard pulls, open guard, butterfly, closed guard, De La Riva, knee shield and half guard.
• Over/under troubleshooting, including guillotine, kimura and triangle threats.
• Double-under, folding and half-guard passes, plus transitions to the back and mount.

Limits

• The course adapts pressure passing to no-gi; it is not a gi collar-and-sleeve passing curriculum.
