In this BJJ technique tutorial, Bernardo Faria sits down with black belt Brian Glick to solve the most frustrating problem in Jiu-Jitsu: getting your guard passed by younger, faster, and heavier grapplers.

At 50 years old and not relying on physical attributes, Brian explains why traditional, scramble-based guard retention fails older hobbyists. Instead, he teaches his "reverse engineering" concept. By understanding exactly what the guard passer wants (like isolating both legs to one side during a leg drag), you can use simple frames, connection, and specific hip movements to negate their attacks, even when they already have grips.

If your knees, hips, or lower back can't handle wild inversions anymore, this conceptual approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was made specifically for you.
