Basics
Sambo Academy: Combat Sambo by Ivan Vasylchuk
I’ve only watched the first part. It has a lot of decent basics. There should have been a disclaimer though that to complete some of the moves you need another of their instructionals and I’m not entirely convinced after talking to an experienced judoka by the fancy foot work on that middle kick counter. The multiple angles are good though. The audio and instructions and translation are clear. The editing is decent.

High Precision Half Guard Vol. 2 by Jake Mackenzie
Lots of detail and all over the place. He's the goat of half guard so you're learning from the best. Not for beginners.

Power Switch Guard Retention and Genius Back Takes by Mikey Musumeci
Mikey gets right to it no long talks just right to what you wanna learn.
No access at first
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Purple Belt Requirements by Roy Dean
I wasn't able to access at first but the customers service did a great job helping me find a way. The content itself is great with great insights. The only thing missing in my opinion is some review of takedowns.
Good and to the point
Hip Pin Passing System by Brad Wolfson
The explanations are good and they go into detail about how to set things up. Next they show passes and a few submissions to finish things off.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Decent.

How to Pass Guards Quickly and Easily Using Leg Attacks by Craig Jones
Short and quick guide, sharing about avenues/threat options from different guard passes. Will be great for new comers but not too much for advanced individuals. Good to buy on discount!
Awesome!

Good instructional!
For long bendy boi's
Buggy Choke The World From Everywhere by Paulo Marmund
Kinda hard to hear with low audio and back ground noise... but some good techniques and easy enough to follow along, just by watching. Also helps if you're a long bendy boi.

This instructional is kind of short.
it's fine
Getting Swole As A Grappler by Gordon Ryan
nothing mind-blowing or cutting edge. Hard work = results, but if you're totally lost in what to do as a gym supplement to your training, you might get something out of it
It was good. I wanted

Its all right
MMA Takedown Mastery by Ben Askren
Gives you good overview of the most practical takedown techniques for mma with some differences of takedown in pure wrestling to take into account. But I would not call it mastery as it does not provide good details on the execution of each technique. Seems to me it was developed for wrestlers who know in depth each technique and shows them who to apply now in mma. But if you're a striker and want to learn well takedowns I feel there's missing more details to consider
Getting Swole
Getting Swole As A Grappler by Gordon Ryan
It was worth the money it just needed more clarification on the explanations.
First off let me say
The Fundamentals of the Peekaboo & Power Punching by Mike Tyson
First off let me say I loved the video had a lot of fun watching but as an instructional it was just mediocre not much explanation of technique or how to execute said techniques. Mike Tyson is a great peka boo style boxer...one of the best but as an instructor....not so much brings to mind an old quote "those who can do...those who can't...teach"

The Pillars Side Control Mastery by Stephen Whittier
-Good info, but the video content layout is not the best. You cannot skip and review the chapters. Other than that, I would recommend.
This instructional is just ok.
Real Catch Wrestling For The Street by Tony Cecchine
If you're used to say someone like Josh Barnett or Billy Robinson, than you may find this series lacking techniques. Tony should talk less and show more.
Useful, but doesn’t cover much.
The Daisy Fresh Knee Slice by Andrew Wiltse
Useful, but doesn’t cover much.
Body Building (Based Programming and Nutrition)
Getting Swole As A Grappler by Gordon Ryan
This is by no means a discredit to the work put in, but Gordon Ryan has been truthful in regards to his training a Body Builder style strength program. Sunny offers lots of insight, but if you come from the industry it is pretty much cut and dry. I did, enjoy the E-Book and felt there was value in the structure and programming. If you are looking for a Body Building Style program they’re a tons of those out there. If You are new to lifting weights, You will appreciate this a lot more. (If you have more than 3 plus years in the gym or with a strength coach, I would not consider this a good program) If you want to spend your money, look at Gordon’s instructional products. They are beyond amazing.

Interesting ideas from Panza, but unfortunately I can't say that watching the dvd has helped my game tremendously
Awesome!
The Buchecha Arm Bar by Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida
Overall great content by mr.almeida. Very detailed and straight to the point. However i find the mount variations to be perhaps a little non efficient to implement during rolling. Side note is that I have only been trying it for a month, so i believe with practice and with slite modifications it will be a given staple in my game.
Great set of techniques for
Finding The Darce Choke Everywhere by Joel Bouhey
Great set of techniques for all levels. Really think this would help any beginner out there starting to learn submission
Not His Best Work
Systematically Attacking From Half Guard by Gordon Ryan
While there are some gems in this instructional, it is not nearly as well organized as his closed guard class. Half Guard Anthology by Lachlan Giles is considerably more clear and comprehensive. He frequently pauses to mention his other instructionals, and that is very frustrating. Most of all, in all Gordon Ryan instructionals it feels like he is teaching what to do without much information about how to do it, he does not offer as much guidance about the biomechanical or hidden side of things. Ryan is the best fighter in the world, but he still has room to grow as a teacher.

basic bodybuilding
Getting Swole As A Grappler by Gordon Ryan
Nothing you can't Google, or applicable to grappling. For the price, this is a hard pass. Money better spent on his instructionals where he actually dedicates to his passion. This feels like a quick upsell with little valuable substance when compared to his other high quality videos.
Bad Instructions
Sambo: The Top Game - A Blue Print For "Smeshing" by Khabib Nurmagomedov
I bought that Instructional to learn something about his top game and wrist rides but was dissappointed in his ability to teach and his short explenations. The techniques where really basic and I believe this is more for building a fundament in that department.
Decent Video

Ok for a few minor tips and tricks from a greco-roman wrestling perspective
Upper Body Takedowns For Grappling by Adam Wheeler
I bought this instructional with the understanding that it would only serve to add a perspective of greco-roman wrestling and not necessarily overhaul my entire takedown game and it did not disappoint, the only reason I gave it three stars and not more is that it can not compete with the instructionals at higher price points in terms of detail or quality.
Good but not the best
The Fundamentals of the Peekaboo & Power Punching by Mike Tyson
I learned a couple cool things from this but it mostly felt like a cool hangout with Uncle Mike which is cool but it’s a bit expensive for what it offers.

My Evolution Your Revolution: ADCC 2019 Analysis by Gordon Ryan
I thought there was going to be more breakdowns of more of his ADCC matches. It’s just one. Kind of a steep price for breakdown of one match.
