BJJ Attacks and Initiative DVD by Maxime, Rodolphe & Thibaut Olivier

Discover a unique instructional series dedicated to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Filmed against a clean black background for maximum visibility, each volume features a renowned instructor presenting their area of expertise through clear, detailed instruction that allows every movement and technical detail to be studied with precision.

In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the guard is one of the most important and versatile positions. A successful guard game is built on initiative—the ability to dictate the pace of the match, create opportunities, and prevent your opponent from imposing their own strategy. In this comprehensive instructional, the Olivier Brothers reveal the concepts, techniques, and strategic details that have shaped their highly effective competition game.

Throughout the program, you will learn how to establish a dynamic and aggressive guard, create angles for attacks, maintain control, and transition smoothly between sweeps, submissions, and positional advances. Every technique is explained within the context of a complete system, emphasizing the small details that determine success at the highest levels of competition. As the instructors demonstrate, victories are rarely decided by a single move—they are built through a series of precise technical decisions executed at exactly the right moment.

The program also explores the importance of taking the initiative from the very beginning of the exchange. By applying constant pressure and forcing your opponent to react, you limit their ability to develop their own offense while creating opportunities to execute your game plan. Drawing on years of international competition and instruction, the Olivier Brothers present a modern, adaptable guard system designed for today's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.

Having first discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu during the Gracie family's historic visit to Europe in 1996, the Olivier Brothers began training in 2001 and quickly dedicated themselves to mastering the art. After years of intensive training, seminars in Brazil, and competition throughout France and internationally, they founded the Gokudo Academy in 2006. Since then, they have devoted themselves to teaching, promoting, and living the passion of what is known as "the Gentle Art."
