Perfectly balanced
Placido is Great instructor, he mentions every detail of the techniques and explain them as simple as it is possible.
Drill for skills :Guillotines by Placido Santos
Very good instructional. Many applications of the high and low wrist guillotines with special emphasis on drilling for smooth skill acquisition and also entries into the submissions from snap downs, reversals an£ breakdowns. Live drilling shows this process in action with Placido correcting combatants during the rolls. I felt this helped understanding the chaining of techniques and submissions. Placido provides good life experience advice also. Highly recommended

I enjoyed the instructional.
My favorite instructional so far
Placido such an excellent teacher. The explanations were on point and the camera work really kept things really refreshing (with all the constant movement of the camera and zooming in and out)
Inspired
An excellent guide to front chokeholds. This is exactly what was missing.
Amazing
Seen him in Danaher instructionals so figured id give his videos a try. I am not dissapointed. He is so detailed. Highly reccomend.
All of them/Danaher/Bernardos
So I joined a Gracie Jiu Jitsu school in my area. I did not tell the instructor I had wrestling and previous random jiu jitsu training. During Covid I trained serious with a few girls and a grappling ***** the Enter the System videos and then others. I got a Gracie Combatives belt and for the first times sparring with the instructor over the next 3 private lessons, I tapped him 3 times after he said no taps were free. He talked a lot of back handed **** to me on my physique, John Danaher when I brought him up, and how he writes down everyone's name he armbars. A very proud man who's last memory of me was heel hooking him before he even taught me heel hooks. I've never been spoken to by a martial arts instructor so much **** about me to my face and I'm glad 3 times I tapped him when I didn't train for 2 years in a gym except for watching the BJJ Fanatics videos and drilling with a grappling *****. OSS! Thank you Bernando and John Danaher.
Great instructional
Great experience
Excellent
Excellent instructional that includes realistic drills and setups. Placido clearly explains the small details and principles when necessary but otherwise keeps it brief and to the point. Highly recommended if you want to get good at high wrist guillotines.

This is an excellent resource! The camera angles and presentation of material is spot on. Clearly, Placido has taken the time to learn the in and outs of what works for instructionals. Thanks!!!

I enjoy the little uchikomi drills provided.
Excellent.
Guillotine club
Doing uchikomi to the guillotine. This is my favorite submission though I'm bad at it for a long time.
Outstanding Instructional
Placido does a fantastic job of breaking down the guillotine choke, setups, finishes and drills in VERY manageable 2-3 minute chunks. Simply outstanding video series! I am hopeful for a similar Kimura series from him.
One of the Best Instructionals
Placido does an outstanding job breaking down the guillotine, setups, finishes and drills in VERY consumable and manageable 2-3 minute chunks. Absolutely outstanding! I have over 90 fanatics videos and this ranks at or near the top. Hopefully Placido does the same series for Kimura!
Excellent instructional!
My first by our favorite uke over the years. He did a great job! Love the format and details and the emphasis on developing skill through quality reps. Guillotines have been my favorite sub the past three years. And this is the best instructional I've seen. (I really only have Lachlan's no gi chokes. And have seen Danaher's front headlock. If you have those, this is still very much worth getting. )
Excellent instructiinal
Helped me to understand and also hit guillotines. The style is refreshing and the drilling part amazing to integrate the theoritical knowledge into your game.
Outstanding
Really impressed by this dvd

This is a masterful instructional
I’ve spent the last six years watching Placido, the legendary uke, get strangled and tortured by John in just about every instructional he releases. After watching most of John’s, Gordon’s, and Garry’s instructionals on this topic, I honestly didn’t think I could get much more out of another guillotine series. I was wrong. This was worth every penny. Clearly, all the time and work Placido has put in with John have paid off. This is a masterful instructional: short, concise, and practical, with the kind of details people pay thousands of dollars to learn in private lessons. It’s truly elite level. What really sets this product apart, though, is the camera work. Placido and the camera operator do an amazing job of capturing angles from underneath the chest, allowing you to see exactly what’s happening. 10/10.

Love those drills
Really good

Awesome
It was amazing. Placido does a fantastic job showing exactly what makes uchikomi so important. Also his explanations are Top Tier. I plan on eventually owning everything Placido puts out.
Drill to win
My first instruction from Placido. I almost never drilled, and I went to the "highest" level of this sport. I can say I like his way of teaching, and even if you have John's instructionals, it is a more than decent supplement to them. In contrast to John's, Placido gives smaller bites to work on and drill until perfection. Definitely going to get more from Placido drill series. Thanks mate really enjoyed this one and not done yet drilling 🙏

Great instructional
Loved this Simple yet detailed
One of the best instructionals available!
Placido does a fantastic job of braking down the details in easy to consume 2-5 minute chunks. The 2 hour drilling sessions at the end of the instructional series are excellent as well as Placido shows how he teaches a class and points out common mistakes to help improve your approach
