Prevent and counter some of the most effective passing styles in all of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with these techniques from 12-time World Champion Andre Galvao. The Atos head coach explains all the keys that anyone can use to stop getting smashed in their guard. Learn from one of the best black belts ever as he shows all the concepts, techniques, and strategies that work best against bigger, stronger top players.

Andre is the head coach of one of the best academies in the world, Atos, and now is your chance to learn the same moves he shows his squad of elite black belts. Andre has won big as both a competitor and a coach, and his dynamic guard game keeps opponents away with a strong understanding of framing and body position (especially important against bigger guys that he fights in the absolute divisions).

The average Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu student is going to spend most of their time in sparring working on top or bottom of a guard position, and we see more and more athletes using pressure passing. With stacks and over unders, grapplers of any level can slowly put the squeeze on you, make you uncomfortable, then pass your guard (or worse!). You need an answer from your guard on what to do when this happens to you, and now is your opportunity to learn what Andre Galvao does.

Andre’s favorite pass is the stack pass (with instruction available now on BJJ Fanatics) and he understands better than anyone else all the counters and weaknesses in the position. Now he flips the script and defends the stack pass by showing you the positioning concepts and little adjustments you can make to stay safe. Attack with reguarding, sweeps, back takes, and even submissions as Andre shows you how even this position can be a dynamic one.

Stop over under passes and defend against one of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s strongest passes by learning the Atos method. Stop getting squished underneath and get back to safety with these counters, like the kimura trap, chokes, and framing armbar. With these techniques ready, no more letting your hips get smashed without a counter to get you out of danger. Join Atos head coach and 12-time world champion black belt Andre Galvao as he teaches all of his best on this 4-volume series.
