EXACTLY WHAT’S IN THIS COURSE?
In The BJJ Formula 2.0 you’ll get a step-by-step breakdown of the most effective techniques in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These are the exact techniques and strategies proven in the highest level competitions in the world.

But there’s a twist…

Yes, you’ll be learning lots of techniques in this instructional. But the ‘glue’ that holds everything together, the thing that makes this material so quick to learn and easy to incorporate, is the emphasis throughout the set on the underlying concepts and principles of jiu-jitsu.

These concepts are the keys to the kingdom in BJJ. If you learn the concepts that govern the top game, bottom game and back game then you’ll start getting better faster, retaining techniques easier, moving more efficiently, and start beating bigger and more experienced people.

Mechanical principles like leverage, framing and movement don’t change from position to position. These principles are the same everywhere, and once you know them you can apply them throughout your game.

Every technique, every transition, and every strategy in this instructional is based on those fundamental principles. We’ll show you exactly how those principles apply and how to use them so you can then apply them in other situations.

Jiu-jitsu isn’t some sort of magic and doesn’t require extreme strength, speed, or athleticism. Instead it’s a struggle between two people using positioning, leverage and momentum.

The person who uses these concepts better has a HUGE edge over his opponent in BJJ.

The BJJ Formula 2.0 instructional now has more than 10 hours of instruction…
Here’s what’s you’ll get in the main 4 volumes of The BJJ Formula…

BJJ FORMULA VOL 1: BJJ CORE CONCEPTS
BJJ Formula DVD 1 – Core Concepts of BJJNo matter what position you’re in on the ground, all techniques rely on concepts like base, posture, structure, leverage, framing, and control of momentum.

In Volume 1, BJJ Core Concepts (1 hour, 33 minutes), you’ll learn how to apply these concepts directly to your grappling, with many concrete examples to shortcut your way to the top.

Jiu-jitsu can be complicated at first because there are thousands of different techniques including armlocks, chokes, sweeps, escapes, guard retention movements, guard passes, etc.

It’s certainly possible to learn BJJ by memorising more and more techniques – many people have done exactly that – but it’s a slow and inefficient process that takes years.

You’ll get better much faster if you start with an understanding of the underlying concepts and principles of grappling.

Once you know them you’ll start looking at BJJ techniques in a whole new way. No longer will the techniques be a long series of steps you need to memorise; instead they’ll become applications of the same few concepts again and again.

Most of what makes elite BJJ competitors so good is that they make minute adjustments to their body positioning on the fly, often without conscious thought. Usually these grapplers have achieved this understanding through years of training and competing with the elite of the sport.

BJJ Core Concepts gives you the formula for decoding and replicating exactly what’s happening with these elite level grapplers. Once you understand what’s going on in their ’hidden’ jiu-jitsu you’ll automatically start making the same adjustments in your own training.

This is your scientific and systematic guide to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focusing on the underlying principles and concepts of the art.

VOLUME 2: BJJ GUARD AND BOTTOM GAME FORMULA
BJJ Formula DVD 2 – Guard and Bottom Game FormulaVolume 2 of The BJJ Formula – The Guard and Bottom Game Formula – contains more than 2 hours of in-depth BJJ instruction.

It covers sweeps, submissions, counters, combinations, escapes, and gives you an entire guard pass prevention system!

It’s a complete, scientific and systematic guide to the guard, which is the most complex position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

There are many different guard positions and variations, and each position has hundreds of techniques available to you. Trying to memorise each of these techniques is a losing battle. It’s all too much to remember, and it’s too slow to access all that information in the heat of the battle.

But if you understand the underlying principles and concepts of the bottom position then it makes learning the guard MUCH easier.

So you’ll learn techniques faster and remember them easier if you start with the principles and concepts that underly all of jiu-jitsu.

You’ll learn how to control your opponent from the guard, how to prevent his guard passes, and proven attack formulas to sweep or tap out your opponent. You’ll get our entire guard formula.

If you’re fighting a quality opponent then you’re rarely just going to catch him with ‘a technique’. Chances are that he already knows whatever technique you’re going to use and knows how to counter it.

Therefore before you sweep or submit him you first have to significantly disrupt his body alignment. Only once he’s out of alignment and unable to defend effectively do you launch the actual attack to finish him.

We’ll start with exactly how how to control your opponent from the bottom to set up your attacks and to prevent him from passing your guard.

Next you’ll get a complete guard retention system: these techniques will make your guard virtually impassable no matter what kind of guard pass your opponent uses.

Then you’ll learn how to sweep and submit your opponent, even if he already knows the techniques you are using.

This isn’t just theoretical: we’ll give you many powerful tools to destroy your opponent’s alignment. Once he’s in a bad position finishing the sweep or submission will become almost an afterthought.

And then there’s one more thing…

You can learn all the techniques and concepts you want, but if you can’t apply them then they’re just useless knowledge. That’s why we’ve also added revolutionary new drills that’ll internalise many of these concepts and have you attacking your opponent like an advanced player after just a few sessions.

It’s a 3 hour and 20 minute cradle-to-grave masterclass on the most dominant position in all of BJJ, submission grappling and MMA, all on a single DVD!

If you know what you’re doing and take someone’s back then the fight is most likely going to be over very soon.

And staying on the back against an opponent determined to escape can be tricky…

Plus once you start trying to finish your opponent from the back he’ll be defending like crazy.

Fortunately there are steps, techniques, and strategies to help you with all of this. You just need to know what they are, and then life in the rearmount gets MUCH easier.

Help is on the way with The Back Attacks Formula DVD.

WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 2.0?
There’s already a TON of directly applicable material in the original BJJ Formula, including a super-practical guard pass prevention system, a set of movements and principles to control the top position, and an incredible back attacks program.

But we’ve now gone and added more than 2 and a half additional hours, making it even better!

Here’s what we’ve added to the BJJ Formula in version 2.0…

1, Back Attack and Control Program for the Weak Side
Many of the greatest BJJ players of all time have advocated going to the ‘strong side’ when you’re on someone’s back in rear mount.

(The strong side is your overhooking side, where your opponent’s head is resting on the pillow of your biceps.)

But you can’t always get what you want, and in recent years different techniques and strategies have emerged for controlling your opponent when you’re on the weak side.

In version 2.0 of The BJJ Formula we’ve added a full instructional (more than one hour) on the very highest percentage controlling and finishing techniques for when you’re on the the weak side of rear mount.

So now, once you get to the back, you’ll definitely stay there and finish him, no matter which way he turns!!

Weak Side Attack Control Program

2, Back Position Q&A
The back position is the most dominant position in BJJ.

But people will fight you like crazy, so getting to the back, staying there, and finishing from there is still a problem for many grapplers.

That’s why we took some of the most common questions about the back position and broke down the answers for you in video format.

With the back control material in the main BJJ Formula, plus the information and techniques in the Weak Side Back Attacks Program and the Back Position Q&A the back will become your preferred position to tap out your sparring partners from!

3, BJJ Concepts-in-Action
This section is full of concrete examples of how a concepts-based approach to jiu-jitsu actually works in real life.

These demonstrations and explanations will allow you to apply the concepts covered in the rest of the instructional to your ground game immediately and take it to the next level.

Whether it’s how to unwrap and pass the rubber guard, sweep your opponent, shut down and counter certain guard passes, or tap him out with powerful submissions, you’ll really like this section. There’s something about seeing how exactly the rubber hits the road that helps drive a point home, isn’t there?
