In this 80+ minute masterclass, you’ll discover the secrets of to one of the most suffocating, but simple passing systems in Jiu Jitsu.
Do you struggle to reliably pass the guard? Or maybe you find trying to pass all the different types of guard out there confusing? Perhaps, you’re just looking for a way to make guard playing opponents lives miserable?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions then this might be the most important message you read all day.
Here’s why…
Passing the guard can be one of the most challenging aspects of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This is shown by most major BJJ competitions scoring a pass higher than a sweep.
What makes passing even more challenging is there seems to be a new guard created almost weekly.
Thankfully there is an answer to this problem. Rather than learning how to pass each type of guard, you should focus on mastering one guard pass system you can get no matter what guard your opponent is playing.
If that passing system shuts down all of your opponent’s offence and leaves them gasping for air, all the better for you. This is where the Cradle can be the answer to your prayers.
But before we get into that, you might be wondering who I am and why you should listen to me…
Before we go any further, I should introduce myself. My name is Tom Barlow and I’m considered to be one of the best British-born Jiu Jitsu competitors ever.
What makes this amazing is, I managed this without a regular supervision of a Jiu Jitsu instructor.
My training was limited to an hour or two PER MONTH with my instructor, Braulio Estima, and training with my students and friends at my Academy in Plymouth.
Despite these limitations, I became one of the most successful competitors to ever come out the U.K. Most notably, I was able to win the No-Gi World Championships as a Black Belt three years in a row (2013/14/15), win Europeans twice, and competed at the finals of the ADCC in 2011.
The vast majority of my victories came via out wrestling and passing my opponents. I quickly recognised that to be an effective top player in a division with some of the best guard players in Jiu Jitsu, I needed reliable passing systems.
That’s where the Cradle comes in. I’ve been using the Cradle for a very long time. It’s one of my primary attacks when wrestling and something I had a lot of success with.
However, the majority of the time, I transitioned out of the Cradle once I hit the ground. That was until my coach Braulio showed me how to use the Cradle to pass as well.
I immediately recognised the power of combining the Cradle as a takedown and as a pass and set about adding this to my game. With a few refinements due to my smaller stature, this Cradle system opened up a new game for me and a new world of misery for my training partners.
There are a couple of wonderful benefits to using the Cradle in passing.
Firstly, once you secure the cradle position, the pass you choose only depends on one thing. That makes the cradle insanely easy to understand.
Secondly, unlike many passing positions, the Cradle is completely one-sided. By that I mean, there are (almost) no counterattacks your opponent can try. That makes it super safe.
Third, the position is suffocating for your opponent. Even if your opponent manages to escape the position (which is almost impossible), they’ll use so much energy doing it that their gas tank will be spent.
Finally, the system works EXACTLY the same Gi or No Gi. That’s huge and means you can focus on learning one system.
It’s this Cradle System I want to share with you now.
The Cradle system allows you to effortlessly control your opponent’s posture while allowing you to attack at will.
The Cradle Masterclass is an 80+ minute HD recording of the seminar where I taught the core cradle passing system.
After watching this masterclass, you’ll understand how to add this pass to your game. Here’s a little of what you’ll discover:
That’s the tip of the iceberg. After all, the Masterclass is over 80 minutes long.
The Masterclass is recorded in our “on-the-mat” format, so you get all the techniques I taught PLUS all the extra details I share as I go around and correct the attendees. Here’s an example:
As you can see, it’s as close to being part of the seminar as you can get without actually attending and covers everything you need to master the Cradle.
I know what you’re thinking… “Sounds great, but is it any good?” Well, here is what some of the attendees had to say about the seminar:
What a position!!! Worked the Cradle last night. My training partners hated it
Neil E. (Blue Belt)
Loved it! My neck and left hamstring…. not so much ????
Dean H. (Purple Belt)
Loved it ???? but also hated it…
Ed T. (White belt)
By far the best seminar I’ve attended, insane details. Everyone is going to have to watch their necks!
Sam Q. (Black Belt)
Have not stopped thinking about this since I attended!
Nikki F.
That makes me so happy, and I know the content covered in the masterclass can do the same for you.
f I were to record an instructional on this topic and sell it on a well-known BJJ instructional site, it would easily cost at least $77-$97.
However, because I want as many people as possible to benefit from this material as possible and it’s a seminar format, you can access Masterclass for a fraction of the cost.
For a limited time you can get the No Gi Cradle Masterclass for only:
That’s £37 for over 80 minutes of techniques and concepts that will make you a passing machine, and your training partners regretting their choice to play guard. To get instant access to the Masterclass, click the button below:
BONUS 1: You might notice this is a No Gi seminar… however… the techniques I cover work just as well in the Gi.
In fact, you can make a slight grip adjustment in the Gi that makes the position even worse.
So you can apply this system in Gi and No Gi, I’ve included a couple of bonus videos showing these details and a few other entries for Gi-specific guards.
BONUS 2: To round out the system, I’ve recorded a bonus instructional about some of the more unorthodox finishes you can use from the Cradle.
This 40+ minute instructional covers submissions and transitions that advance your position from the nearside cradle, backside cradle, and inversions.
This instructional is worth the price of Masterclass alone.
If you struggle to pass and keep getting swept and submitted from the guard, you have two options.
You can keep doing what you’re doing and hope for different results. Or you can take control of your passing and an effective passing system like the Cradle system.
While just watching the instructional won’t instantly turn you into a passing machine. With a little practice of what’s covered in the masterclass, I guarantee your passing will improve.
Unlike many passing systems, the Cradle doesn’t require speed, strength, or flexibility, just a basic understanding of mechanics and a bit of biceps. That simplicity is one of the things that makes the Cradle so effective and easy to learn.
