This three-day camp is dedicated entirely to one of the most decisive skills in Jiu-Jitsu: guard passing. 

The ability to break through your opponent’s legs and establish dominant control is essential for winning
matches and finishing fights.

Dima Murovanni has worked with some of the best grapplers in the world, including Nicky Rod, Jozef Chen,
Owen Jones, and many more. His coaching methods have been proven effective at every level, from white
belts to professional athletes.

Across three focused sessions, you will develop a complete and practical approach to passing different guard
structures. The training will be taught mostly in CLA style (Constraint-Led Approach), helping you build real
 timing, pressure, and control under live resistance.

• Friday 7pm: Seated Passing — controlling and passing against seated guards

• Saturday 11 am: Supine Passing — breaking and passing supine guard positions

• Sunday 11 am: Split Squat Passing — entering, controlling, and finishing passes

This camp is open to all levels and will help you build a reliable passing system that translates
directly to live training and competition.
