BJJ Sweeps
On this DVD, Flavio shows you many innovative ways to sweep your opponent to end up in a dominant position. In addition to instructing 16 sweeps from standing, half guard, and open guard, a Sweeps seminar from Flavio is also included.
Practitioners and fans alike will no doubt have their favourite areas of jiu jitsu; some may be fans of aggressive open guard play or an attacking top game from the mount or side control. For me, watching an attacker successfully sweep his opponent into a dominant position and proceed to finish them off with a submission is my favourite part of a fight.
Sweeps can occur from when two opponents are standing and usually in spectacular fashion and equally impressive sweeps can be performed from the guard, half guard and butterfly guard positions and can be the difference between a win and a loss if all else is equal in the fight.
Finding DVD s that focus primarily on sweeps remain thin on the ground, however, Gracie Barra black belt Flavio Almeida has remedied the situation by releasing an exciting new DVD on sweeps.
Flavio is a black belt under Carlos Gracie Jr., brother of Ricardo Almeida and is a successful competitor himself, notching up two Mundials titles and is also a multiple time Brazilian National Champion. In addition to his competition success, he is a well-respected instructor at the Gracie Barra America Academy in Lake Forest, California where he teaches alongside Marcio Feitosa and Carlos Gracie Jr.
The DVD contains fifteen sweeps from various positions starting with standing techniques and moves on to sweeps from the butterfly guard and half guard; with assistance from Carlos s son Kayron, Flavio first demonstrates the sweep at full speed before breaking each sweep down into further detail. At the end of the DVD, there is one special chapter titled putting it all together where Flavio and Kayron roll with each other and between the pair of them, demonstrate all the sweeps shown in the DVD and one or two other special sweeps, a rare chance to see tow talented athletes in action.
Ten stars out of five. This is one of the BJJ instructionals that I've found most interesting and helpful. Taking in consideration I'm mostly a Judo player, but have some rudiments in BJJ. I've always heard from my elders that BJJ really came from japan via Maeda Mitsuyo sensei, a Kodokan judo expert sent by kano to spread the "word" judo. Well, this prooves it, I've recognized quite a few techinques that my old japanese sensei taught me in my early years of Judo training. It's so cool I can't praise this DVD enough.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
