To all knowledgeable grapplers of Torrance Academy..

I just purchased Gracie Juijitsu basics series, and find that Rorion's teaching is solid. I like the techniques in general and am very happy to see they require the least use of strength.

My main concern is the passing guard tape. It seems that the main method used would get you caught in a triangle choke. Now while I understand that the man on the street doesn't know this most beginning grapplers do.

How do the gracies modify this method of passing guard against people who know triangle? Do they still use it and if so with what modifications?

I'm considering purchasing the intermediate tapes as well and have a few questions to any people who have already made this purchase.
