OVERHOOK FROM EVERYWHERE ADELE FORNARINO DVD GET HERE
Explore overhooks from more than just the closed guard with the Overhook From Everywhere Adele Fornarino DVD.
Fornarino knows how to clam up and control people from any position, especially in guarded situations.
For those who have trouble figuring out attachments and grip placement in No-Gi, this is the instructional you absolutely need to get. It is fast-paced but fits all levels, and will surely improve your guard, standing, and scramble outcomes using just one move—the overhook.
Over or Under?
If you’ve been rolling for a year or more, you are probably already contemplating a classic grappling dilemma—overhooks or underhooks. I had the same troubles, and they still tend to appear in specific positions to this day, some 15 years after I discovered them.
There is no wrong or right answer here—it all depends on your goals, the opponent, and the situation you’re in. For the most part, I avoided underhooks for years since I love Darces. That means when someone places an underhook on me, it means I get a free choke. In fact, that’s how I discovered the overhook.
That said, overhooks are not the winner in this dilemma. Underhooks have their place too, working as the better solution in many standing, guarded, and top pinning situations. I’d say use both, but if you’re new to grappling or not sure where to start, focus on the overhook first. The Overhook From Everywhere Adele Fornarino DVD will guide you.
Adele Fornarino – One of the Biggest Names in Women’s Grappling
Wherever you turn these days, the name Adele Fornarino pops up. As we anticipate her performances in the four-bracket women’s CJI2 tournament, after seeing her lose a close match to Ffion Davies on UFC Fight Pass, we’re seeing lots of Adele lately—and for good reason.
The Australian-born grappler has been doing all the right things these past few years. She had a great run at the 2024 ADCC, beating everyone to the title, after previously conquering the Pans, Europeans, and winning the GrappleFest U60 kg title. Since then, she’s had mostly superfights, so seeing her in tournament format again is going to be interesting.
Since her ADCC triumph, Adele has provided several glimpses into her game via BJJ DVDs. Her latest instructional, focusing on one of her favorite grip positions, is the Adele Fornarino Overhook DVD—and it’s definitely worth exploring.
Overhook From Everywhere Adele Fornarino DVD Review
In just over three hours, the Overhook From Everywhere Adele Fornarino DVD will show you everything you need to know about using overhooks to become super annoying from a bunch of positions in No-Gi. The material is spread out over four volumes for optimal organization.
Part 1 – Getting the Overhook
First up in the Overhook From Everywhere Adele Fornarino DVD is how to get into the position. You already know what an overhook is, but you probably have no idea why you’re failing at it.
Adele explains how to use the overhook in combination with Jedi Mind Tricks and dilemmas while reinforcing it with the knee shield. She also shares tactics to deal with overly defensive opponents, as well as those who try to smash you from the top.
Part 2 – The Clam
Arguably, the most valuable mini-system delivered in this Overhook From Everywhere Adele Fornarino DVD is the clam concept from the second volume. Once again, you’ve probably heard or seen iterations of it, but none come even close to the effectiveness of this one.
The reason for that is that Adele uses the overhook to get people trapped into the clam, but she also has her signature Chopstick Guard mixed into the system. This introduces an element of surprise to an already sticky situation, allowing you to sweep, triangle, Omoplata, or wrestle-up in various ways.
Part 3 – The Half Butterfly Overhook Game
This is where things go deep into the rabbit hole. Adele provides one of the best instructionals for the half butterfly guard in just one volume of the Adele Fornarino Overhook DVD, while focusing mostly on the overhook.
Starting from the relation (and ways to switch) between the half butterfly and knee shield, she launches into a submission-heavy system, shedding light on why her No-Gi game is so successful on the biggest stage. Fornarino offers chokes, sweeps, and armbars from the half butterfly before she turns to the turtle.
Attacking the turtle with overhooks is very innovative and effective, as the chapters on submissions, mat breakdowns, and pin setups clearly demonstrate. In the final couple of chapters, Adele also covers the dogfight position and how to win when you’re the one with the overhook.
Part 4 – Standing Overhooks
The last part of this Overhook From Everywhere Adele Fornarino DVD offers a way to set up your standing game using mostly overhooks. She provides options to launch super high-percentage Judo throws from the overhook, mixed in with a few wrestling classics like the Fireman’s Carry and the Front Headlock.
Saving the best for last, Adele Fornarino wraps up this instructional with a couple of flying submissions from the overhook, in the form of armbars and triangles.
Effective Attachments in Grappling
Depending on your goals, you’ll need to attach to folks if you have any hope of making BJJ techniques work. For the leg lockers out there, feel free to skip to a different DVD instructional. For everyone else, let’s talk overhooks more.
Attaching to the arms allows you access to the upper body, which provides chokes and armlocks as your main submission options, but also creates off-balancing opportunities that lead to sweeps. The question of where to attach on the arm is not one that can be answered with certainty, nor will you be able to get a specific attachment with every attempt.
That said, I personally prefer shoulder-level attachments for control and elbow-level attachments for attacking. A good overhook goes somewhere in between these two joints, which is why it is so powerful—you can switch effortlessly between control and attack—like in the Overhook Adele Fornarino DVD.
