Great Video
Translating good bjj for the streets
Don't expect to come here and learn deep BJJ techniques if you don't know them already. For experienced players, this is a great and cheap series of principles to apply your skills for self defense.

Really good
I really liked this. I never really think of BJJ the way they teach it in this video. I would definately recomend this video. Alot of the techniques are not just for the streets either. Its alot of good stuff .
Broad Overview
Richardson's focus on pressure testing everything for the street is refreshing. It's broader than I'd expected (he has a longer, more in depth knife defense instructional).
Great practical instructions
Covers weapon defense amongst other defense areas.
Works anywhere
Just got done using this in the homeless people early in the morning not only does it work but it’s inevitable. Even in sport BJJ and mma these techniques carry over and work well. It is a Must have.

Great Supplement
Really serious about pressure testing everything for the street. Definitely made me want to see more detail on knife defenses.
Thoughtful, well researched, excellent and practical
Invariably Burton Richardson’s videos are excellent, practical and well researched.
Excellent
Excellent course for adapting BJJ skills to practical self defense applications. Burton Richardson is an excellent instructor. The course is well rounded, not just BJJ techniques with no context.
For street applications
Just began to watch, may edit later but so far it is good.

Very helpful
Really enjoyed this series, great way to understand the difference between sport vs. street.
High quality add on content that makes the techniques more safe in the street.
Good information but short on derail
This is a good instructional to street proof your BJJ. It asks a lot of questions and points out few examples of how to answer said questions over a broad sample of situations. I would recommend this instructional as primer to expose the viewer to a broad range of self defense situations that will need to be explore in more detail and specificity at a later time.
will change how you view bjj
adding street awareness will change how you approach your training. a must-have if you're serious about street self defense. love the real case studies footage validates his concepts and approach
Great info
Lots of good information from a very well known instructor. I like his point of view idea on self defense. This instructional offers a lot of what you don’t learn in class.
Bjj for street
Simple enough to apply. Coherent narratives. A bit more materials would have bumped this to 5 stars.
Good stuff, although somewhat long-winded
Realistic techniques, every situation is thoroughly explained. Still, I do find some of the parts overexplained or even redundant. Perfect for complete beginners, a bit long-winded for more experienced grapplers.
BJJ for the street
Burton Richardson shares his many years of experience across multiple disciplines in this excellent application of BJJ techniques to self defence. Highly recommend
Love it
Pressure tested techniques make a huge difference. Great instructional will definitely get his other videos.
Excellent material
The content is well researched and effective. Detailed and clear instructions
Good info that has you thinking about self defense strategy.
Wasn't familiar with Burton, but after seeing he was associated with the Inoue brothers and Baret, it was a no brainer that he's legit. Good info that has you thinking about self defense strategy.
Bjj for the street
Awesome and practical
Real Pressure-Tested Self Defense
Great instructional, showing techniques and principles that are meticulously pressure tested by Mr. Richardson. No ********, no techniques that only work with a complying partner - just the real deal
Excellent video
A very good adaptation of BJJ for the street, covering many dangerous scenarios, beyond sport.
BJJ For Street
Great information that will help you differentiate between sport jiujitsu and street defense.
GOOD ENOUGH
good tutorial

Burton
Excellent course. Highly recommended. Good instructor.
Good Stuff
I liked the course and learned some valuable nuggets. Burton introduced the Canto Choke as a primary means of defending yourself in real life. I never considered that and am grateful for the insight.
keeping it real
clear, no fluff, empirically tested
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Realistic BJJ for self defense
A general overview of how to apply BJJ for different kinds of self-defense situations and how that differs from pure sport grappling. Compared to many questionable self-defense systems, Burton Richardson has clearly tested and developed the techniques against full resistance in training.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗bjj for the street
so far so good...just got I to it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Well explained and functional
I really reccomend this video series focused in the self defense on the ground. It will help you to improve yours skills driving you step by step .
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Burton is a passionate martial artist
In a self defense situation grappling can work but you have to adapt your technique. Burton is a passionate martial artist. You can trust him blind. He will guide you.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Literally the best instructional on the subject
Full disclosure: I'm one of Burton's Black Belts, but there is a reason I stayed training with him for so long. This is hands down the best collection of material on using jiujitsu for self defense because the techniques are applied against fully resisting opponents. Burton's techniques were honed in tested in the crucible of rolling, true to the spirit of Brazilian Jiujitsu. At this price, it's a steal
Battle-tested
This material is really useful. Burton Richardson provides battle-tested techniques only and what is more: He always differentiates sports and self-defense.
I wish I could go to Hawaii someday and train under him
Wow, he's certainly legit, a true expert in martial arts, world renown for his techniques, evidenced by his continuous pursuit for the stuff what works in the street by PRESSURE TESTING everything.. He's very humble and has a good heart (obviously, simultaneous with my virtual training with him through BJJ Fanatics, I also researched more about his gym and his personal life). No BS, not profit-oriented, just a pure heart in teaching people to be safe. I've got some knife defense training here.. I think this is one of my highlights. I've searched and searched for scores of techniques against the knife and I've finally realized how his techniques are topnotch--not 100% foolproof but it has, in my opinion, the most sensible chance of staying alive. I think I'm gonna head straight to his other training--the one really focused on knife defense. Burton, Israel, and Sarah, thanks for all that you do and for all that you are!! I hope you continue to be happy, healthy and fulfilled in your pursuits, passions and goals. I appreciate everything. God bless, Aloha! -Lyon, from the Philippines

The Missing Link
This is what is what will make your BJJ more complete and street applicable. Must have for any BJJ practitioner to round out your skills.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Good video
Video deals with weapons as well as how to adapt BJJ grappling to street situations.
Too little butter spread over too much bread
The instructional is quite bloated in my opinion, with a lot of verbose fillers, anecdotal stuff, and generally poorly paced. It could have easily been 1/3 of its current length and still go over all the points covered in detail. There are some useful tips and ideas that might be worth trying out, but overall it's annoying how much time you have to waste just waiting for the instructor to get to the point. FYI the first technical bit is actually shown after the 25 min mark. Cannot recommend for full price, maybe wait for a sale, if at all.
