Learned Some Useful Techniques
Anti Jiu Jitsu by Kazushi Sakuraba
As Sakuraba isn't so good in English, he teaches the video speaking Japanese and it has to be translated by another person in the video. This makes it somewhat tedious to follow along but they made the best of it. You have both Craig and Bernardo asking questions and digging for more details and they uncover a lot of wisdom from Sakuraba. But just FYI, Sakuraba is a catch wrestler and his techniques have a more offensive orientation. He's not gonna mess around going for control positions the same way a BJJ fighter would emphasize this. He's looking to submit his opponent a lot more quickly and so his takedowns transition into submissions almost immediately.
Great instructional
IBJJF Legal Footlocks by Jose Varella
Great instructional
short on details
Mastering The Baratoplata by Joao Miyao
more or less an overview of entries. would have benefited from more discussion of counters and troubleshooting

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Decent
Law Enforcement Grappling Solutions by Ryan Scialoia
These instructions are decent but I feel that more detail could of been given. If a bit more time was given on details like like proper hand placement and going over the move.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Good but the explanations of techniques could be better.
Japanese Judo Secrets by Satoshi Ishii
Good stuff, but nothing bad or negative about him, (He is an olympian medalist), I am just having a hard time trying to understand his broken English when he is explaining techniques. Maybe he should have spoken Japanese and have someone else translate it using sutbtitles or a voice over in English.

un bon dvd pour ceux qui souhaite progresser en Mma
Great video
Gangster Grappling by Chael Sonnen
Great video
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Excellent video but poor translations
The Triangle Choke Basics To Advanced by Joao Chiozzi
Covers many different ways to get a triangle submission. They are simple and uncomplicated, yet effective. The only thing I don't like is the poor translation provided. It is in Portuguese with English Subtitles. It looks like a google translation without considering the BJJ context. To help you along if you buy this video, this is what I have figured out. Left side is the subtitle. Fencing = Underhook Scape = Sweep Loop = lasso scams = submissions banner = belt adduction = squeeze or strangulation or hold adductively = tightly Could have done a better job with the translation.
A good comprehensive guide to half guard
New Wave Jiu Jitsu: No Gi Half Guard 3 Directions of Attack by John Danaher
A good comprehensive guide to half guard with an emphasis to leglocking and wrestling up. There was a little bit too much repetition to my taste and I was struggling to kep intrest in the teaching at times
review
Mastering The Half Guard by Lucas Valle
not a great video, half of the positions he's facing away from the camera and you can't see what he's doing, wouldn't reccomend

The Triangle Machine by Craig Jones
needs more details but still a good video
Good
Secrets of Machida Footwork by Lyoto and Chinzo Machida
This instructional gives you a good overview over the karate specific footwork. If you have trained karate point fighting, this instructional gives you nothing new. But great for a beginner in point fighting or somebody who did not train the karate system before.

Very good instructions
rather limited
High Percentage Gi Passes by Gordon Ryan
decent introduction to some intro level passing
Unrefined Power
Aggressive Dumps and High Pace Offense by Austin DeSanto
He talks like Brands, you see the intensity that he carried on the mat.... he teaches in a way that you will develop explosive hi-crotches and fireman's. seemed like he didn't plan much because he is post practice, and that makes it hard to understand at times. But solid teaching. I might be inclined to get another from him.
Good stuff

Small insights

Some good insight into his gi game. It was free, so don’t expect much, but I’m sure his full release will be awesome.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Fantastic Competetor and Ok Communicator
Death From Below by Mikey Musumeci
He is extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic competetor. This instructional has a ton of great information. You will have to sift through a lot of it to get to the point and make it applicable to your game. If you want detailed explainations of breaking mechanics and the minutiae of techniques, this is great. Though I think the communication style needs some work and feels like it's missing the forest for the trees.
Thumbs up
Understanding The Distance From Guard by Gui Mendes
Very informative!
good instructional
Sweep The World by Leonardo Saggioro
Dubbing makes this a little hard to watch since it is slightly out of sync, but it adds a little comedy value to this.
Heavy breathing

Fantastic details from the Wizard. By god fire the camera man, the heavy breathing in the background makes it so hard to focus on the lessons!
Nice!
