⬡ The Berimbolo System Part 1: The Foundation

A complete foundational guide to the berimbolo—a dynamic guard-offense system built for modern guard passing, back taking, and sweep efficiency.

 Course Overview

Mikey Musumeci—known for his mastery of the berimbolo—lays out the essential mechanics and sequencing in this first volume. You’ll learn to control, off-balance, and invert with intent, establishing a reliable entry and drill-ready structure that blends seamlessly into transitions and control setups.

 What You’ll Learn

• Core Mechanics & Setup
  Inside leg entry and initial grip positioning
  Proper hip angle and weight distribution for inversion control
  Guard retention during transitions under pressure
• Berimbolo Roll & Spinning Fundamentals
  Controlled inversion mechanics with foot and shoulder placement
  Timing the spin under opponent posture shifts
  Transitioning smoothly into back-take or inverted guard control
• Break & Reset Movements
  Safe roll recovery and inversion escape if the entry stalls
  Guard reconsolidation after failed berimbolo attempts
  Partner drills for drill-flow connectivity
• Drill-Flow Integration
  Sequence: grip → entry → roll → back control or sweep
  Flow drill templates to build reflexive berimbolo sequencing
  Live sparring use cases for developing timing and sensitivity
