Elite Instruction, heavily under rated
Best source for learning MG tight passing style. Paul's excellent at breaking down the style that made Marcelo's passing so dominant and has been used by many other athletes from their schools.
Great Stuff
Paul is such an excellent instructor, really good information and I need to dive into it a lot more because I have a feeling it will be a resource to use for a long time.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Connected reaction
I have 6 series from Paul. There is nothing of his I will not purchase! The level of detail, clarity and dedication to his craft is evident in every series. Apart from the techniques he adds simple game changing concepts in every series. Well worth the money at full price. More please :-)
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Essential
Great Half guard passing centric DVD
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome technique
Paul is one of the great instructors of bjj. This series well explained and easy to follow. The details are amazing, and the progression from position to position is well thought out.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A must have for any library
Right off the bat understand that as an instructor, Paul is very accomplished. All his instructional videos are lauded as the gold standard in whatever he is teaching. I would say Paul is on par with Danaher, in some cases better in how he reaches points and conclusions very simply and effectively. That’s really it with Paul, he portrays complex ideas very easily. He doesn’t have to say much, because he shows you and it all adds up. So as a teacher, you’re getting a premium experience. So why this? His name alone was enough to draw me, but I was hooked in the system he presents. Inch by inch you learn to navigate guard passing. You learn about posts, over/underhooks, leg placement, shoulder pressure, knee cuts, weight distribution, counters to specific scenarios, and more. Good videos have you come away with a move or two that you will use. The best, must have videos are the ones where you come away growing as a practitioner. So far, only Danaher and Paul have given me this. If you’re looking for an extremely in depth system/guide to learning half guard passing, this is the video for you. It’s worth the money, and I will probably remember Paul for the rest of my life.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Connected Reaction: No Gi Passing by Paul Schreiner
Paul is by far one of my favourite instructors to watch and learn from and as stated on other reviews here a true hidden gem. Hoping for more content from Paul in the future.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Highly recommended!

Great instructional dvd !!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻great technique, awesome instructor, amazing jiu jitsu.
paul explains techniques clearly and concisely, which makes the system easy to understand and very practical. i learned how to apply pressure in ways i couldn’t before which has changed my jiu jitsu completely. highly recommended this content.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻This Passing instructional is brilliant. Highly recommended.
This Passing course is phenomenal. As always, Paul's instructional material is incredibly well put together and highly digestible/immediately applicable. People say it all the time but he really is one of the best coaches on the planet. Without drawing things out and being unnecessarily longwinded like many other instructionals, Paul manages to explain the why's, when's and how's succinctly and articulately. I personally teach many of his systems and methodologies to our students regularly. Really can't recommend this one enough.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Teacher-Super Technical
I'm lucky enough to train where he teaches. Paul always goes in to depth on each technique and not only explains the application but the philosophy and the "why" on each thing we do. Very glad he made this DVD, it's amazing
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Incredible instructional
Very impressed with this instructional. I think Paul Schreiner is one of the best instructors out there. He truly understands Jiu Jitsu, and has a way of breaking techniques down to their core principals and the key points. He gives you a really clear game plan with a clear sense of direction, and also how to adjust and react to the various defenses you will encounter. I’m looking forward to more of his instructionals with bjjfanatics.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A truly game-changing Instructional
This DVD set is a hidden gem. Paul's ability to take jiujitsu technique and concepts and break them down into a digestible and comprehensive instruction is second to none. As an instructor, Paul is one of the most prolific teachers whom I have had the pleasure of learning from, so when I saw he was releasing this DVD I knew I must buy a copy. Paul has a cerebral and analytical approach to jiujitsu technique which he uses to find the best nomenclature and terminology to express seemingly minute and invisible small details which make all the difference between having a good guard pass and control and having an unstoppable guard pass and control.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Paul’s instructionals have been essential to my progress.
Paul Schreiner is one of the best teachers I’ve ever learned from. His precise pressure passing concepts and 1/2 guard details helped me design my personal game and take it to the next level. He has the ability to explain high level concepts in a way that any level of jiu jitsu player can understand and implement. His instructionals are sure to help you see positions and techniques in new ways. For me, his instruction has filled in a lot of the gaps in my game and made everything much tighter and connected.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Most Own Title
This title is an invaluable resource for any individual on the jiu jitsu journey. The knowledge Paul drops comes from years of training with some of the greatest bjj competitors in the common era. The passing is technical yet easy applicable. The prompts and focuses given are easily remembered to execute during training. Everytime I watch this set I feel I learn something new gives me the confidence to execute during training as well as help me fundamentally understand positions better to support with teaching in the way to think and communicate to others. This is a set I could not live without thanks Paul!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Cranky, this DVD is bloody good, mate!!!
Paul "El Tecnico" Schreiner is one of the great BBJ instructors in action today and this definitely comes out in this DVD. I think he's been working under Marcelo Garcia for the better part of a decade, so you know he's legit AF. But Paul's instructional is not just a slavish regurgitation of Marcelo's grappling genius. Rather he teaches "his" game, in this case for passing the guard. But "his" game is not just for him. Indeed, this is grappling for all. It is a truly scalable instructional; meaning that every grappler from white belt to black belt will benefit from the techniques. Lower level belts will learn some fundamentals that will stay with them throughout their BJJ journey and black and brown belts will have their eyes opened to details that will improve their guard passes. Paul's genius (and I do not use that term lightly) lies in his attention to detail. I'm a bit of troglodyte grappler but whenever I studied one of his instructional or have had the honor to take a class from him I learn important points about the proper hand placement of a grip or where my feet should be placed as I bridge. His mind for details is astounding but what is even more impressive if his ability to communicate this knowledge to knuckleheads like myself. Specific to this DVD is the concept of "connected reaction", the idea that you have to execute moves that are chain to your partner's movement. You must keep connected and move accordingly. I guess this is a form of situational awareness but he puts it into the context of guard passing and the end result is extremely useful.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Paul is a top-tier instructor
Paul Schreiner is up there with all the best instructors on the planet. If you like Lachlan Giles, John Danaher, and Dave Camarillo, you will like Paul. It's as simple as that. I take both group and 1-on-1 classes with Paul Schreiner, and other students of his and I have agreed: even so we've still found Paul's DVDs to be valuable assets!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome breakdown
Paul is incredible at breaking down the passing systems and how they can work for all styles. It’s fantastic and well explained for all levels and able to put into practice immediately. Highly recommend!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Paul is a legend
Paul is an absolute wealth of knowledge. His deep grasp of how/why positions work is easily understood because of his teaching style. Easy to understand and clearly put, Paul breaks down every concept and position in a way that I can easily add the positions to my training and competition right away. Highly recommend to anyone involved in grappling to pick apart any information from Paul that they can get their hands on (especially his passing!!).
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Highly recommended
The Paul’s analytical gifts has allowed him to reach an unsurpassed fundamental understanding of the mechanics of jiujitsu and given him the ability to pass this knowledge on in a detailed and comprehensive manner. His teaching will have an immediate and direct impact on your own game and expand your understanding of jiujitsu and martial arts in general. Could not recommend more.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗All in the title....
....."Connected Reaction" as Paul is about as educated on guard passing in NoGi as anyone outside of my purview. Phenomenal and thorough without being boring or pretentious this is like taking 4 private lessons from the Mr. Schreiner. Highly recommended for purple and up and a great motivator for lower belts I'd imagine.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Connected Reaction: No Gi Passing by Paul Schreiner
Congrats to BJJ Fanatics for getting Paul to make a video. He is perhaps the most technical BJJ instructor on the planet, while also competing himself and training and teaching some of the best athletes in the sport at Marcelo's. Having the ability to watch and rewind and re-watch Paul teaching these techniques is like having Freddy Roach teaching you to throw a combo over and over until it's perfect. Get this video for yourself, and buy one for each of your training partners as well. Your game will thank you later.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗World Class Instructional
Paul is right up there with Danher, Julio Caesar, and even Marcelo when it comes to deep efficient analysis of bjj technique. This passing series is eye opening, explained clearly and full of “duh” type moments where you realize you’ve been doing it all wrong. It will change how you look at passing and help you crush your opponents.
