Side Control Setups & Submissions by Bernardo Faria

If side control mastery is part of your game, you CAN NOT miss this!

Just started watching Side Control Setups by Professor Faria - I just wish I lived close to his gym, so I could be trained by him live and in the flesh. My game is about side control, and this is going to take me to the next level! Thanks, Professor!!

Small pieces change your game

My perspective on training dvds is this: take tiny pieces and add them together for big changes. I bought this video and watched half of the first disc. The way Bernardo has you add pressure on side guard totally immobilized my opponent. The guy I was rolling with outweighs me by ten pounds and he has a little edge on me strength wise and he’s about 15 years younger. I was crushing him with this. I haven’t had a chance to try the first arm bar from six guard, but that will happen this week!

Excellent analysis of Side Control

This is a very good series in techniques to use from and with Side Control. I really like that there are low risk options where you can still retain good position, and more high risk ones if you like to be aggressive. As always Bernardo explains things clearly and simply and it's easy to understand. Very enjoyable!
