  • @kelleyhq
    When Bernardo and John do videos together, i wear out the volume up and down buttons
  • @alglasco4154
    As important as Johns teaching is on every video we can not hear him. I have to turn my phone/tv on blast to hear what he is saying. Can we please put a mic on him or something…
  • @only1luv
    These guys are just awsome, John articulates his thoughts very awesomely.
  • @badgoat666
    Such an eloquent, concise breakdown. John is a treasure.
  • @apekillssnake
    Interesting Dialogue- I regard C-Guard as a Reprieve!
  • @Sui_Generis0
    This really must be a secret with how quietly Johns speaking
  • @oceanswithin
    Great to see how focused Bernardo looks, he doesn't just say it's an honor for him
  • @rstlr01
    As a white belt, this is the video I needed, not a fan of close guard, but done well it is such a powerful tool in the toolbox. So I will continue to work at it and get better.
  • I love the systemic approach. No more hail mary armbars and triangles from bottom closed guard. Its too hard no gi. Break posture, advance position (clamp, top lock, side scizzor, double unders, etc), then sweep or submit.

    HYUGE HONOUR FOR ME i love u Bernardo u re so wholesome lol
  • I’m by far still a white belt but just got back into a bjj gym after 10 years away. My old training trained me to be more comfortable in closed guard. At that time I was about 150lb but I am 5’11” with long legs. Almost everyone I trained with outweighed me 75-150lbs. That said I’d be on bottom a lot and having that big of a size disadvantage I didn’t want them passing guard. Luckily I did have a couple teammates closer to my size but this built a very tight guard for me.
