What Will You Learn?

Too many people overlook the fundamentals but they are what wins matches. This is your opportunity to re-establish your fundamentals and have a whole new perspective on what the fundamentals mean.

Every journey in BJJ is as unique as the person taking it, but every journey begins with the basics. Every black belt once began by learning and perfecting the basic attacks that build the understanding of the principles and concepts that they use in every position or attack, and now it is time for you to learn the same. Join Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Raphael Carniero as he brings you through the basic sweeps, passes, and submissions that he uses every day on the mat to stay one step ahead. Over this four-volume set, you’ll be introduced to how to approach each attack, how to move and flow like a savvy mat veteran, and how to keep finding attack after attack no matter if you are on top or bottom.

Every lower belt has those moments where they are stuck in a plateau, not sure if they’ll ever be more than just a grappling dummy for the higher belts, someone who they can try some new cool technique they learned, or someone they can use to relax between tough rounds. The road to being a mat savage isn’t in the new crazy moves, it’s in mastering the basics. They are basic for a reason; they work! These are the moves you can go back to time after time, no matter if you are rolling with a more experienced fighter, someone bigger and stronger, or if you are out of gas and searching for a way out of a bad spot.

Raphael Carniero is a world-respected black belt competitor and coach, with tons of IBJJF medals to his name. Not only has he found success on the competition mat himself, he has produced fighters who have medaled at Worlds, Euros, and tons of international opens. Whether it is him or one of his students, they all find success by relying on the basics. There’s no soft, flashy stuff here, just real usable BJJ that Raphael knows will work! Raphael has been a coach for over 15 years, and over that time he has refined his techniques and teaching style so that he can give you the information you need to succeed.

What sets this apart from a basics class that any coach could give? What makes this instructional special? There’s two answers. The first is Raphael’s pedigree, coaching experience, and proven success as an instructor. The second is how Raphael approaches each move, finding and adding ways to use leverage and technique (not power and energy) to make his game more explosive and dynamic. He doesn’t need to be bigger and stronger than anyone else for any of his guards, passes, or submissions, he just needs to know the fundamentals and apply them properly. The strength and explosion you can create from proper technique far outweighs any you can make in a weight room, and Raphael will show you how.

Before Anything Else, You Must Learn To Guard Yourself

-Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of (if not the single) most effective forms of self-defense in the world, and that is thanks, in no small part, to the guard. Being able to not only defend but attack and win from off your back is a skill that you can use again and again, especially against those bigger, stronger, or faster. Don’t get stuck being smashed and passed without an answer anymore, thanks to Raphael’s expert instruction. Starting with your most basic open and closed guards, and slowly building to more advanced guards like De La Riva, X, and lasso, you’ll see how to attack and defend yourself from a wide variety of positions that are sure to suit any grappler’s style. Raphael leads you through the simple variations, with his own personal additions, that he has used to incredible success, before building to more challenging positions that still work on those same few fundamentals that let him excel. Any fighter who needs a new answer off their back is sure to find it on this 4-volume set.

Finally Pass and Tap Like A Champion

-Passing a good guard can be one of the most frustrating experiences you have on a mat. You can struggle and push and pull and fight for what seems like hours, only to still be wrapped up in hooks and grips that are leaving you swept or tapping out. You can leave those worries in the past as Raphael slows it all down and simplifies the game, showing you how to approach and combat the most common guards that most fighters face on a regular basis. There’s nothing crazy here, no cartwheels or flying armbars, just pure, solid basics that keep you one step ahead of the person on the bottom, and passing into a safe position of control. Once you are there, Raphael shows submission after submission that every good grappler must have, breaking it down in ways that you haven’t seen before.
