Until now, all previous guard passing instructional DVDs were based on one particular style or method of passing. Ryan Halls new Passing the Guard DVDs breaks that trend and teaches that all guard passing should use same key principals, regardless if your fighting an opponent using the Spider, X-Guard, Cross Guard, Half-Guard and so on. This new DVD series truly teaches these core mechanics by breaking down what makes guard passing really work, exposing theories and concepts that will change your guard passing game forever. The basis of Ryan’s system is to effectively control the opponent on the bottom; creating a defense that that is so impenetrable, it forces your opponent into making critical mistakes. Learn to stop even the most elaborate guard sweeps, reversals and submissions by controlling every move and effectively stopping the attack before it can even begin. Ryan then puts all of the theory into real action as he teaches the most important guard passes he believes every student of Jiu-Jitsu should master. Even more then learning these amazing passes; Ryan shows how they all interconnect and how to switch between them depending on the flow and reaction of the opponent. Over 30 incredible guard passes, 65 new techniques and 5 hours of teaching are shown in the same methodical teaching style that has made Ryan Halls previous Jiu-Jitsu DVD sets world famous! Ryan Halls new Passing the Guard may be the most ground breaking instructional series he has ever produced and is another World Martial Arts must have DVD series!

Great addition to class and open mat sessions! Great details
Great details in the videos. There are a lot of great tips that come out as he demonstrates. This is a perfect compliment to your regular instructor, unless they spend a ton of time with you on each move. That's the real value of these DVD's in my view. Ryan Hall spends a lot of time touching on many details, and most instructors simply do not have the time to dedicate to that level on each move. Not a replacement of or better than regular classes on the mat, just a perfect adjunct to the class time and open sparring. Just take one tip from a section on the video and work it in the sparring, and you'll see progress.

Vague instruction
World Martial Arts produces very poor content. The instructors hold back so much information. They give you just enough technique to get you in trouble. I bought a good number of videos from WMArts from different instructors hoping to find something good and discovered what they teach doesn't work on the mats because they don't cover the what ifs. There are so much better instructional websites for Brazilian jiu jitsu. Ryan Hall just does a lot of talking and what he shows leaves more questions that don't get answered.

It would look like this dvd series
I've purchased all of Ryan Hall's dvds, each one has helped me drastically improve my game, both in competing and in teaching. His passing system is much more then a collection of techniques, but is technical breakdown of how the technique works, why it works and will guide you into a deeper understanding of passing so you can make your own game out of this. Imagine if you Ryan Hall was your personal jiu jitsu tutor and developed a study guide on passing just for you. It would look like this dvd series.

Another great instructional from Ryan Hall
Great instruction like all of Ryan's dvd sets. Very good explanations of the techniques and concepts. Yes, there's a lot of talking, but it's all valuable information. If you haven't seen any of the Ryan hall instructional series before, they tend to be more conceptual, rather than just showing a bunch of techniques. His explanations of "why" carry over to mutliple techniques and help you to think critically about jiu jitsu, rather than just memorizing details of a specific move. By far my favorite instructor to learn from on video.

Great DVD set
I got this DVD set a few weeks ago. I also own the arm triangles and the triangle DVD sets. Ryan Hall is a great teacher and this is a great way to take your game to the next level. Considering how much money it would be to do a private lesson with this guy buying these sets is a bargin.
