This stuff is gold!
Reviewing this pin & submission escapes DVD has really improved my defensive game overall, there were some concepts that I was lacking that this instructional covered. The only reason that I'm not giving it 5 stars is because knee on belly escapes were not covered. Other than that small detail, I highly recommend it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻terrific DVD
I am a white belt nearing blue and have watched most of the two pressure passing DVDs in the gi. I initially came to the site over a year ago to pick up some DVD's to help me keep from getting crushed under mount and side control (the Danaher Escapes DVD helped me a ton from mount, but even though I understand his side control stuff, I'm still stuck there often, which is part of why I picked up this DVD. I want to be able to escape without trying to get the opponent to take mount for me to do so. My issue seems to be not making space with the outside elbow effectively). I have the no gi half guard video, but at the time I bought it, it was too advanced for me to follow and retain (though half guard is becoming my game now so I'll be returning to it soon and think it will be much easier now). One critique I have of the past videos of Bernardo's that I watched was the verbal explanation of the moves wasn't always clear or specific to what he was doing (i.e. "put this arm like that" vs "I need to bring this elbow to the floor so that he can't do xyz"). You could follow if you watched intently and it was very useful, but it didn't always give the language needed to for a noob to retain it and if you had your attention divided at all you weren't going to get it. This video is different, by far the clearest explanations I've heard Bernardo give. I can understand what he's saying just by listening 90% of the time, which adds a lot of value and helps make sure I really do understand what I'm seeing if there is any doubt. It's also very versatile in that it covers a lot of situations and it has a couple of details I haven't seen on other materials. I'm half way though and have caught a few things I haven't seen in other videos or in practice yet and think I'll be able to implement them pretty quickly once I'm back on the mats. Actually, talking about the language/vocabulary has me thinking a useful thing for noobs to the sport would be if this site had a glossary of terms/moves/positions including non English names. I think it would help a lot of people follow videos or even less technically spoken coaches at practice. I know colored belts that look at me funny if I ask about kesa gatame or scarfhold as they only know it as side control.
Great foundational instruction
Provides a very detailed foundation for escapes from many of the most common positions. Helps to fill in the gaps you may have in getting off the bottom.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Escapes from Everywhere
I grappled many years ago in the military and had not practiced or rolled in a long time. In recently getting back on the mats, it was tough but Bernardo has done a great job teaching some essential principles and fundamentals of escapes here. I started feeling more comfortable right away after the first few lessons
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Good to learn
Great vid~ thx
Great instructional
Great techniques and Bernardo is a great teacher. It's a 2,5 hours divided into 4 parts and it covers many escapes for various positions and submissions. I'm definitely going to use many of these during my training :)
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fantastic course
This course has already made me better. There are a number of submissions that I'll get caught in by higher belts and this makes it so that I am able to defend those attacks. I'll ask people to take my back when sparring and I'll get out and have a better position when I do. I've watched Bernardo Faria a lot on youtube but the course goes into many things that you can't get on the internet.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great tutorial for surviving on the mat.
This video definitely helped my ability to avoid as many submissions during sparring, even against younger and bigger guys. I got several comments about my improvement from the senior guys in the gym.
Really informative and interesting
