Discover Xande Ribeiro’s Impenetrable Guard Since 2005!
A strong and impenetrable guard is a key objective for any serious martial artist. Even if you possess a natural talent for guard play, where your offensive guard is razor-sharp and you swiftly assume the defensive position upon engaging your opponent, there are moments when an opponent weighing 100kg manages to overpower you, right?

Well, Xande Ribeiro hasn’t experienced that since 2005! It has been nearly 15 years since anyone has successfully immobilized Xande and earned the three guard pass points!

As a seasoned Jiu Jitsu competitor, Xande has achieved numerous prestigious titles, including 7 IBJJF World titles (including 2 absolutes), 2 ADCC titles, 4 Pan American titles, and many other remarkable accomplishments. What’s truly remarkable is that, while accumulating these victories, Xande’s Jiu Jitsu skills evolved to a point where no one could break through his guard. Even more astonishing is the fact that, despite excelling in both top and bottom positions, Xande dedicated himself to refining his guard in order to overcome opponents from a secure position.
In a recent conversation with Bernardo Faria, Xande unveiled the secret behind his highly respected “fortress” guard in the world of Jiu Jitsu. He explained how he developed an exceptionally secure game when his back is on the ground.
