On-point clips, no fluff. Useful to go back to the basics and fill out the gaps in my escape game.
Placido is a great instructor. Hoping to see more from him!
I love this
I like this moving
I appreciate the short explanations and the the little live drilling examples to support the learning experience.
I highly recommend this product. It’s well-made, easy to use, and delivers exactly what it promises. Great quality and definitely worth considering!
Great
He has done a nice job showing various uchikomi drills to speed up the learning process!
Good
Excellent explanation of every technique; not overly complicated, and not overly simplified. It's just right. Easy to follow and implement. The Skill Acquisition section is also helpful for revisiting the techniques covered in the Instruction section, cementing them in memory, and seeing students form the habits taught and struggle along the way, as I myself do when learning new techniques. I also greatly appreciate the Good News of the Good News section--also very well presented. Thank you, Placido, for sharing your jiu jitsu knowledge and the Good News!
I love how he gets to the point and after you are able to see it used in a practical setting. This was a great way to learn these important principles.
Thank you for sharing the good news brother. Great content on drilling pin escapes, followed by the greatest message of all: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. -John 3:16 I have John Danahers instructional on pin escapes and it is very thorough. Still you had somthing to offer here. The drilling concepts and details on generating momentum to stay off the back and facilitate various pin escapes has helped me on the mats tremendously. I was encouraged that you shared the Gospel here. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. -Ephesians 6:12 Looking forward to more. Godbless!
This is very good, I think he does himself a disservice by saying the more he talks the less smarter he sounds, I honestly think this is an excellent, clear and very valuable instructional.
Amazing DVD
Highly recommended.
Great escape instructional that shines some light on all of the little things black belts are doing that makes a lot of their escapes look effortless
Love the movements, instruction and drill options. Great for every level. Thank you
I appreciate the instructional having short sections so it is not over whelming to process.
Awesome DVD
Great instructional, Placido's ability to demonstrate and explain key details without excessive explanation is top notch. Highly recommend this instructional to anyone from beginner to advanced.
Great information But can’t download 1 volume like 12 Not happy from your upgrade.
This instructional completely changed how I approach pin escapes. Placido Santos presents a clear, structured system with highly effective drills that build both technique and timing. The chest-to-chest escape concepts are explained in a way that's easy to understand and immediately apply during live training. The emphasis on repetition and skill development makes this one of the most practical defensive instructionals I've studied. A must-watch for anyone looking to become harder to hold down and more confident escaping bad positions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
great details
Great content awesome videos
Excellent for learning nogi escapes! Several techniques I hadn't seen before. Much recommended!
