BERIMBOLO SYSTEM

Mastering the wedge berimbolo for flat opponents and the slingshot variation for opponents posting to create distance. This included jumping back steps to secure the back take finish with absolute precision.

CURRICULUM TAUGHT

Outside Retention: Utilizing self frames on legs and straight arm frames once feet are passed plus North South leg dab retention protocols.
Headlock Systems: Mastering the loop choke and rolling variations while utilizing the sprawl to effectively neutralize any wrestle up attempts.
Escape Frameworks: Elite protocols for triangle and armbar escapes including specific knee assist and hitchhiker variations taught by Josh Allsopp.

THE FINISHING SYSTEM

The technical block detailed the R guard recovery system and triangle setups. Final focus was placed on the closed guard to back take transition using the hip bump connection to secure the finish. These elite systems ensure our members stay ahead of the modern technical curve. This is the blueprint established by Professor Jihad Bekai at GFORCE since 2010.
