As a white belt I'm focusing on getting escape ideas from all positions before worrying too much about subs, this series was what I was after and I like Bernardo's instructional and competing style.

great
Good foundational stuff, nothing too fancy yet the techniques are applicable on all levels against high-percentage submissions.
Bernardo Faria shows a wide variety of escapes from multiple situations. This instructional is super important if you want to improve your defense in BJJ.

Good course
I love the way Bernardo reviews each topic
the movements are very well explained
Really well structured and well thought through techniques. One of the best instructionals about pin escapes, well worth the money.
Great instructional giving loads of fundamental skills perfect for me as a white belt getting stuck in these positions all the time
👍
I'm on the bottom ALL THE TIME! I need help escaping. This is the gear.
Once again this has been a huge learning tool for me. I have been able to use the technique ls here in my rolls at the academy and open mat. Studying this and other instructionals outside if class is changing my game dramatically and I am experiencing rapid improvement. So stoked. Amd a believer in what BJJ fanatics provides
It was LIT, I’m already using the escapes THANKS
Submissions are cool but knowing proper defense are of utmost importance.
Good intro to escapes and ever better refresher
Great stuff
Excellent and concise defensive methods!
good dvd
Knowing how to escape is also knowledge about attacking.
thank you for faria
Good escape instructions
Thanks Prof Bernardo Faria! This video help me to improve!
Covers many of the common situations. Basic escapes taught in junior belts as well as some unique escape methods that I have not learned before. My confidence in escaping has improved. However, not possible to cover all sorts of submissions that I may face.
clear defenses for an old, not good blue belt
simple principles to find a way out of most bad positions.

Excellent information presented in an easily understood and effective manner. I was able to immediately add many of the concepts and techniques to my game

Bernardo Faria makes escaping easy!
So many escapes! If it is good enough for bernardo then its good enough for me.
Very detailed and clear with his instruction. I will watch more from Bernardo!
Professor Faria is well known for his worldclass defence and in this instructional he is laying out all you need to know to become a master of escaping bad spot's. Plus for me as an halfguard player this instructional is very helpful to connect my escape to my best guard position, which always opens up new opportunities for me and helps me be offensive right away. This is one of the best instructional on this topic I ever saw!
A good basic introduction
good video!
touches on all the escapes you could want. great starting point to build your defensive game off of this
Bernardo is not just a wonderful guy but has one of the best techniques. If you need to buy one Escape video, this is the one to get!
This has a lot of great reviews for a reason. These escapes are foundational and everyone should know them.
Nice video, most of the techniques are useful during live rolling
amazing escapes and also positioning yourself advantageously after an escape
