Ryan Hall – Passing the Guard (reformatted)

Until date, all guard passing instructional DVDs have been based on a single style or manner of passing. Ryan Hall’s new Passing the Guard DVDs deviate from this trend by teaching that all guard passing should follow the same essential principles, regardless of whether you’re facing an opponent utilizing the Spider, X-Guard, Cross Guard, Half-Guard, or any other guard. This new DVD series actually teaches these key mechanics by dissecting what makes guard passing work and exposes theories and concepts that will forever improve your guard passing game. The foundation of Ryan’s technique is to successfully dominate the opponent on the bottom by constructing an impenetrable defensive that pushes your opponent to make vital mistakes. Control every move and efficiently halt the attack before it begins to stop even the most sophisticated guard sweeps, reversals, and submissions. Ryan then puts all of the theory into practice by teaching the most crucial guard passes that he feels every Jiu-Jitsu student should know. More than just learning these incredible passes, Ryan demonstrates how they all interact and how to switch between them depending on the opponent’s movement and reaction. Over 30 spectacular guard passes, 65 new techniques, and 5 hours of instruction are demonstrated in the same meticulous teaching manner that has made Ryan Hall’s prior Jiu-Jitsu DVD sets world renowned! Ryan Hall’s new Passing the Guard teaching series may be the most innovative he has ever created, and it is another another World Martial Arts must-have DVD series!
