Timeless History Making No-Gi Series
4.5-hour no-gi blueprint for dominating the mats: high-percentage takedowns, pressure passing, and unstoppable submissions.
This course is about controlling every phase of the roll – using wrestling to take them down seamlessly, smashing through guards with precision, using high-percentage submissions, and connecting it all into a seamless game. Rafael Lovato Jr. has used these techniques to make history again at 42 years of age – and you, too, can confidently apply them against younger, faster, or stronger opponents.

Winning in no-gi isn’t about adding more moves...
... It is about having the right moves – ones that don't depend on athleticism, but on the timeless principles of pressure & precision.
Especially when it comes to rolling against younger, stronger, and more explosive opponents.
You’ve rolled with them before – the training partners who explode through scrambles, rely on speed over strategy, and make every exchange feel like you can't breathe.
The problem isn’t your effort or your technique. The problem is trying to fight their game instead of forcing them into yours.
This series gives you the tools to do exactly that.
Inside 4.5 hours of instruction, you’ll discover how to:
- Set the tone early with efficient, low-risk takedowns (and defend against them yourself)
-
Break their guard and apply relentless pressure from top
-
Attack with confidence from the most advantageous positions
-
Tie it all together into one seamless no-gi system
This isn’t about chasing highlight-reel moves or hoping youth and speed are on your side.
It’s about proven techniques, organized into a connected framework, so you can dictate the pace, shut down scrambles, and get the tap.
Why your no-gi game hits a plateau...
Chasing flashy moves
Too many grapplers try to copy highlights from Instagram or YouTube. They look great in clips, but don't really work against real resistance. This course focuses on proven techniques, details, & sequences you know you can rely on – the kind that win at the highest levels.
Wasting energy
Trying to match speed with speed only leaves you exhausted. Without a structured approach, every exchange will feel chaotic. Here, you’ll learn how to control the pace with efficient takedowns, pressure passing, and transitions that conserve your energy while draining theirs.
Learning isolated techniques
Most people drill a takedown one day, a guard pass another, and a submission somewhere else – never connecting them and never making sense out of the whole. This series ties everything together into one cohesive system, so you can always know what comes next.
Meet your instructor: Rafael Lovato Jr.
Rafael Lovato Jr. is one of the most accomplished American martial artists of all time — a world champion in both gi and no-gi, and a pioneer who has made history across every major stage of Jiu-Jitsu.
Over a career spanning decades, Rafael has:
-
Won world titles in both gi and no-gi — becoming the first American to complete the "Grand Slam" of all four IBJJF majors in both styles
-
Competed and won at the highest level of ADCC (2x silver medalist), MMA (former Bellator champion), and a list of other professional grappling events
-
Proven that with the right system, you can achieve peak performance well beyond the years most athletes are considered "past their prime"
But beyond the medals, Rafael is known as a coach who breaks Jiu-Jitsu down into simple, timeless principles. His coaching is clear, detailed, and deeply connected – helping students of every level understand not just what to do, but why it works – and how to make it work for their own style.
Now, through this 4.5-hour no-gi series, you’ll get direct access to a big part of the approach Rafael used to make history – organized into a course you can start applying immediately on the mats.
