Mini-study on Rafa Mendes’ evolution of the twister roll position.

“And this is a first. I put this one up yesterday and it was flagged by someone in the community as “inappropriate content” (not an infringement issue as far as I can tell) and taken down. Dear all, please if there is anything about what I put out that offends you, do write to me first and tell me so that I can at least know what I have done wrong. My intentions are to share knowledge with the community and also highlight the amazing subtleties and innovations going on in BJJ. If it is the competitors themselves, please know that I do this not as a disrespect but as an appreciation of their beautiful jujitsu. I made it repeatedly clear that I do not wish to cover players who have training sites (their livelihood) and have graciously offered their knowledge to the community. If anything, these “edulights” serve to direct even more to seek out knowledge from studying the styles of elite players and raise their/training site’s profile. I merely seek to highlight new moves and strategies to the community and not “teach” the finer details which can never be adequately done through a video splicing effort. I cannot understand why this particular video could be viewed as “inappropriate” (I see nothing particularly different from over 20+ prior videos). No one should have monopolies on BJJ knowledge, especially something in plain sight.”

Until now, all previous guard passing instructional DVDs were based on one particular style or method of passing.

Ryan Halls new Passing the Guard DVDs breaks that trend and teaches that all guard passing should use same key principals, regardless if your fighting an opponent using the Spider, X-Guard, Cross Guard, Half-Guard and so on.

This new DVD series truly teaches these core mechanics by breaking down what makes guard passing really work, exposing theories and concepts that will change your guard passing game forever.

The basis of Ryan’s system is to effectively control the opponent on the bottom; creating a defense that that is so impenetrable, it forces your opponent into making critical mistakes. Learn to stop even the most elaborate guard sweeps, reversals and submissions by controlling every move and effectively stopping the attack before it can even begin.

Ryan then puts all of the theory into real action as he teaches the most important guard passes he believes every student of Jiu-Jitsu should master. Even more then learning these amazing passes; Ryan shows how they all interconnect and how to switch between them depending on the flow and reaction of the opponent.

Over 30 incredible guard passes, 65 new techniques and 5 hours of teaching are shown in the same methodical teaching style that has made Ryan Halls previous Jiu-Jitsu DVD sets world famous! Ryan Halls new Passing the Guard may be the most ground breaking instructional series he has ever produced and is another World Martial Arts must have DVD series!
