A SCIENTIFIC AND SYSTEMATIC METHOD FOR PASSING THE GUARD AND DOMINATING TOP POSITION

Passing the guard is one of the most difficult, technical and frustrating things to do in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

There are so many different types of guard that memorising more and more random guard passing techniques just doesn’t work.

What you need is a guard passing system where every move, technique and strategy work together to get you to a dominant top position.

In Top Game Formula Rob Biernacki and Stephan Kesting - 2 experienced BJJ black belts - give you a scientific, systematic, and principle-based way to pass the guard and dominate the top position.

Some of what you’ll get includes:

* Easy adjustments to keep you safe from sweeps and submissions in the guard.

* Gripfighting strategies to get control while denying your opponent his favourite positions

* Guard passing techniques that rely on science and leverage instead of strength and athleticism

* The recovery tricks used by world champions to stay on top no matter what their opponents do on the bottom

* How to stabilise the top position while keeping your hands free so you can attack your opponent

* How to systematically break your opponent’s base, posture and structure to open up submission opportunities
