Felipe Grez: Guard Passing Seminar (No-Gi)

Learn to dismantle guards with pressure, precision, and purpose.

We’re excited to welcome back Felipe Grez,  BJJ black belt, Red Zone Knife Defence instructor, and high-level security consultant, for an exclusive 2-hour guard passing seminar in Canberra.

With over 26 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience, Felipe has developed a top-game approach rooted in efficiency, control, and real-world pressure. As the head coach at Jiu Jitsu Kingdom, his teaching style blends technical depth with simplicity, no fluff, and passes that work under resistance. His background in frontline security and threat management gives his coaching a grounded, no-nonsense edge that’s hard to find.

This seminar will break down Felipe’s tested guard passing systems, including:

  • Structuring your passing game around position, not speed

  • How to apply relentless top pressure and manage scrambles

  • Pin-to-pass transitions that make your top game stick

  • Reading guard styles and choosing the right pass at the right time

Whether you’re an up-and-comer or a seasoned grappler, Felipe’s insights will sharpen your ability to control, advance, and finish from the top. If you want to stop getting stuck in open guard wars and start dominating positionally, this is your next step.

Location: Canberra Martial Arts & Fitness Centre- 1/10 Townshend St, Phillip ACT 2606
Date: Saturday 27 Sep 2025
Time: 2:00 pm

Red Zone Knife Defence – Felipe Grez

2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
| 3 May 2025 -
Training Grounds | 460 Pacific Hwy | St Leonards | Sydney
$60.00 Per Person All profits donated to sponsored athletes

“Red Zone Knife Defence” is a modular system of unarmed grappling based defensive tactics verses an edged weapon attack.
It was founded by Jerry Wetzel ( Centreline Gym) as a simple, practical way to understand how to defend yourself and survive an edged weapon attack. Various government agencies in the USA have taught and successfully used it as a no-nonsense, life-saving approach to dealing with the realities of a knife or edged weapon attack.
It complements your Jiu-Jitsu / Grappling-based training to increase your confidence and dramatically improve your self-defence and survival skills against an armed attacker.
Instructor Felipe Grez notes that the RZKD system is the most efficient and realistic approach to defending against edged weapons that he has encountered in over 26 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and frontline security work.
Join Felipe with an intro to the system with the team at Training Grounds on the 3rd of May 2025.
This is a perfect seminar to bring a friend. Don’t miss out, as numbers are strictly limited!
