"My name is Pound Lamb. I am 52 years old and train at Nashville MMA. I want to sing praises on Bernardo’s half guard system. I was introduced to the Faria Guard and Pressure Passing system by a teammate last year. I promptly purchased both DVD sets and with only three months of training I was fortunate enough to win the 2015 World Masters. The system worked so easily. I was promoted to Purple belt in 2016 and placed 2nd in the 2016 World Masters. I knew this system was designed for me when I started beating upper belts half my age. It was like my game had jumped three years. This system allows me to slow the super athletic guy’s game down and places me in control. It sounds crazy but I feel like I’m literally resting in this guard while the young guys are gassing out. They know what’s coming and still have a hard time stopping it. I think this is absolutely the best guard system for masters who like beating the young guns."
-Pound Lamb
"As a big older guy, I naturally feel like a turtle on my back. When Bernardo started showing me his half guard techniques and fundamental approach I found that I didn’t need any athletic ability to use them, just the knowledge of how the worked and since then my game is 1,000% better. I sweep any non professional and I’ve even had the chance to roll with multiple world champions and sweep them as well. As the owner of BJJ Superdeals and BJJ Fanatics I get to see the very best guys in the world all of the time, but Bernardo’s techniques are the only ones I use on bottom – they are that good;especially if you are slow and unathletic like me."
-Michael Zenga, Black Belt
"With Bernardo's accomplishments, he has proven how consistent and effective his game is. We all know he is one of the best fighters in the World, but you may not know him as an instructor. He came to my school in 2013 to teach a seminar. The seminar was only 2 two hours long, but left a legacy here. Half of my students here are doing his position... doing his half guard sweeps. It is amazing to see, that he is not just a great competitor, but he is an amazing instructor as well. I'm sure you guys will learn a lot from him as we did here."
-Bruno Malfacine, 10X World Champion
"Every time I get in the Half-Guard with Bernardo, it was a problem;I got swept over and over. I started to study the position to counter his sweeps and every time I get a new situation, Bernardo had another one inside his sleeve. His Deep Half is so powerful. This helped him win five World titles as a black belt --- using the same technique that everybody knows he is going to do. He goes there and he does it, because he knows all the details. He understands the technique. He understands the position. HE REALLY KNOWS TECHNIQUE.
