No Gi Pressure Passing – In-Depth Review

A no-gi version of Bernardo’s pressure-first passing approach.

The Bottom Line

You will learn over under mechanics without sleeves and how to arrive there from butterfly, knee shield, and open guard. The lessons emphasize shoulder pressure and head control. If you chase modern no-gi meta, this is an adjunct, not a replacement.

⚡️ Quick facts

Skip if: You play bodylocks only

Tech focus: No-Gi Over Under, Shoulder Pressure, Hip Pin, Entries Vs Butterfly

What You'll Learn

Takes the pressure philosophy into no-gi. You learn head, shoulder, and hip control to mimic lapel anchors and still arrive in over under. r/bjj notes that Bernardo’s classic sets are gi heavy; for no-gi purists, bodylock-focused courses may feel more current. Still useful if you love his style and want translation.

Should You Buy It?

Wait for daily deal. I passed more no-gi guards by trusting shoulder pressure and head position over speed.

Why Bernardo Faria?

Bernardo’s top game is principle-driven, so removing the gi is a matter of anchors and angles. The set helps longtime gi players feel at home in no-gi.
