BJJ for Old F***S 2: The Passing Game 4 DVD Set with Rob Biernacki & Stephan Kesting

How to Defeat the Younger, More Athletic Opponent by Rob Biernacki and Stephan Kesting, Vol 2

Learn How to Stay Relevant on the Mats into your 40’s and 50’s with High Level Guard Passing with Rob Biernacki, the World’s Foremost Proponent of Conceptual Jiu-Jitsu.
Young punks LOVE using their insane flexibility and bottomless gas tanks to contort themselves into positions that would snap you in half, and then flip, twist and turn into all sorts of new-fangled attacks.

You’d like to train the same way, but the trouble is you’re in an older, high mileage body now.

It’s slower, stiffer, and your endurance isn’t what it used to be. Makes it hard to keep the same pace as these young guys who have all the time in the world to train.

Right now you keep on falling into some young guy’s inverted-reverse-de-la-worm-guard sweep. And then in no gi class he spins from one leglock into another on your legs. Sometimes you think you’re just the class training dummy.

None of this is your fault; it’s just the way things go. Still, it sure would feel nice to smash some guards, get some dominant positions, and choke out some of these young punks before sending them to bed without dinner!

Well, the good news is that this is doable. All you need are the correct techniques and the strategies to link them together…

INTRODUCING ‘BJJ FOR OLD F***S, VOL 2 – GUARD PASSING
BJJ for Old F***s, the Passing Game is volume 2 in our series dedicated to giving older grapplers the techniques, strategies, and training methods they need to pass the guard of any opponent and stay effective on the mats.

In this instructional you’ll first get the critical concepts for passing the guard as an older guy so that you can smash those younger players while staying safe. Then you’ll get 5 complete strategies for passing the guard, including the setups, followups, and finishes. Four of these strategies work equally well gi and no gi (we did include one that’s a little more gi-oriented).

Here’s a complete list of what’s covered in this amazingly detailed instructional…
