Learn from Bernardo how to take normal controlling positions, give yourself an advantage with aggressive fixes in your game, and finish with submissions
Join one of the best Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts in history as 5-time world champion as Bernardo Faria shows you how older students can unlock better success by taking advantage of these tricky, grindy hacks to your control that can set up stronger finishing submissions. With lessons on how to optimize your approach to mount, back, side control, knee on belly, and more, you’ll be able to reform your game around these unforgiving adjustments.
Bernardo Faria was always unique as a black belt for having tons of success against the best in the world by using the half guard and relying on techniques that were usually for older guys in the room. Still, he was able to work these positions and study them until he could attack all the time with them - and he turned these moves into systems that helped him win 5 world championships at black belt, including an absolute championship in 2015.
Go position to position, seeing what is important for conceptual understanding before Bernardo shows you how to take things to a next level of control with some mean, grinding offense that helps you drive the fight towards some of his favorite submission finishes. Learn how to get more taps from your training partners and opponents with lessons on kimuras, armbars, scarf chokes, ezekiel chokes, and much more.
This 5-part series is packed with techniques and moves for older guys to win without ever needing to scramble, speed up, and use explosiveness. You can learn all these skills - with drills included for rapid development - from one of the best to ever do it, who is now one of BJJ’s most beloved and recognizable instructors.
