The reviews

• Bad Positions? Even Less of a Problem Now

  This instructional upgraded my game in exactly the way I wanted: bad positions somehow matter even less now. Instead of thinking “oh no, I’m stuck,” it’s more like “cool, let’s see how annoying I can make this.” Craig’s concepts made my escapes feel much more systematic, and I’m way more confident taking risks because I trust my ability to get out again. 10/10 — my opponents probably hate this instructional more than I do.

• Don Be Finished Edging Yourself Out of Danger by Craig Jones

  I have especially referred back to the back defense section multiple times and used the principles so often that I now very seldom find myself in danger in this position.

• Simple ways to leave

  Craig delivers us simples ways to escape from mains dangerous positions. Back, side control and mount. No need of hundred of techniques just 1-2 are enough. The best is how Craig teaches us. Funny and interesting. Too many teachers are horrible to listen without fall to sleep even if the techniques are interesting.

  The techniques shared here seem informed by a more wholistic view of bjj than isolated positional escapes. Recommend for sure.

• Don't Be Finished: Edging Yourself Out of Danger Craig Jones

  My Daily Survival Manual—Craig Jones to the Rescue (Again) Craig Jones’ Don’t Be Finished: Edging Yourself Out of Danger is hands-down one of the most practical and usable instructionals I’ve ever added to my library. I use it daily in training, especially when I inevitably find myself in a terrible spot thinking, “Well, this is how it ends…”—then I remember Craig’s voice in my head and somehow wiggle out like I meant to do that. This isn’t your typical flashy escape series—it’s a real-world guide to survival. Craig gives you the tools to stay calm under pressure and escape without relying on freak athleticism or spinning like a breakdancer (which, at 50, is definitely not on the menu). Why I keep going back to it: Excellent details on escaping bad positions with control, not desperation. Great use of humor while still delivering sharp technical concepts. Teaches you how to avoid getting finished even when you're deep in the danger zone. Makes you feel like you always have a way out—unless Craig is the one trying to finish you. If you roll regularly, and especially if you're not always the hammer in training, this instructional is a game-changer. Craig somehow makes defense cool—and makes not getting tapped a skill you can actually practice and improve. Highly recommend.

• Straightforward defences that work

  My submission defence was definitely a gap in my game, apart from initially just avoiding them (not always possible) but the principles from this has been helpful in improving this for me. Plus Craig is a great instructor which really helps.

  Jeff L.January 3, 2025CanadaVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• yes excellent

  His instructional is awesome, like all his other instructionals. This video is intended to cover what jones considers the basic escapes, which do not match up exactly with what the gracies or probably your instructor would consider the foundational escapes. Very useful. The "keep jiu jitsu ***" tshirt is very distracting, wish he did not wear that. I'm pretty sure my wife has grave concerns about me because she saw me watching a craig jones instructional while wearing that shirt. But like I said, great instructional, like the other craig jones instructionals. best teacher on bjj fanatics imo by far.

  Peter J.December 30, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt7-9 yrs training

• Decent

  It does a good job covering Side Control, Mount, and Back Escapes. Honestly though, the price isn't worth it when you compare it to other escapes videos. I love Craigs instructionals and have a lot, but this one is pricey and doesn't give you anything that other escape videos would give you for a cheaper price. I wish he combined this video with his Front Head lock escapes instructional. I think that would justify the price.

  Craig does an excellent job at taking the basic positions that you'd typically get pinned in (mount, side control, and back control) and giving you simple yet effective escapes for these positions. worth every penny.
