FARIS BEN-LAMKADEM – GRINGO GUARD PASSING KNEE SHIELD

• The knee shield is one of the most frustrating barriers in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It creates distance, kills pressure, and stalls your passing game.
  • In Gringo Guard Passing: Knee Shield, elite competitor and coach Faris Ben-Lamkadem breaks down a complete system for dismantling the knee shield with precision, pressure, and purpose.
  • This isn’t just a collection of random techniques — it’s a structured roadmap that shows you how to shut down frames, neutralize underhooks, and flow seamlessly into dominant passing positions.
  • Whether you’re getting stuck in half guard or looking to refine a pressure-heavy passing style, this course gives you battle-tested solutions you can apply immediately in live rolls and competition.
