Very clear and easy to follow
Excellent fundamental BJJ set that has proven very valuable to my development.
Great overview for beginners on many different positions and submissions
Great overview and introduction. A must see and study for every beginner.
Great for beginners and to go back to refresh on fundamentals
It is helping me a lot with my bjj. I picked some details that i didn't pick at my trainning sessions and that are really helpfull. I always learn and pick 2 techniques in which i want to focus and try to practise them when I am rolling in the trainning sessions. I noticed a big improvement.
This was my first and is still one of my best instructionals about fundamentals. I use it as a libary. You got several solutions for every possible scenario in jiu jitsu. Professor B. F. kept a greaz balance between important details and an overall understanding of the moves and scenarios. That makes this instructional easy to understand. You csn watch him playing almost all this moves with great success!! Highly tecommend!!!
This has been my coach/ study sheet away from the mats. Every time I train I can go back home and look to this for reference understanding why it didn’t work and if it worked could I have done it better. Must have for any new starter.
With all of the instructional videos and YouTube content out there, do yourself a favour and take a look at this one first. Bernardo is great in breaking down the basics. "Fighting with Kyle" will be your new favorite phrase.
This has some very good content. Great stuff for white belts.
Must known techniques for any bjj practitioner

Great, in depth and easy to understand instructionals
Videos quite useful for beginners in order to evolve more quickly!
Video does a good job covering the basics, helped me build up my jiu jitsu vocabulary so I could understand what the heck the professor was talking about. Learned the americana from this and was able to deploy it successfully a few times so far.

Excelente revisión de los fundamentos
This is not so much a "course" as an encyclopedia- because of its nature, Bernardo spends most of the time going over the fundamentals of a very wide variety of different positions, attacks, etc. I wouldn't necessarily recommend watching this from start to finish, but I've really enjoyed using it to review the material that I go over in any given class on the mats.
Very well put together program / video. Very helpful durning my first few weeks of training. Bernardo explains concepts very well - good demonstrations.
Well explained tutorials. Easy watching!
Really helpful and simple explanations.
Earned my blue belt back in June and feel like I needed a refresher on techniques I learned when I first started Jiu jitsu, Professor Bernardo explains everything down to the smallest detail making sure the subject sticks to memory
Definitely the video i needed to help with the basics
1 year into my BJJ journey .63 years old and I need all the help I can get…This is a great help….Thank YOU
This instructional is an excellent introduction to so many if not all the main aspects of BJJ.
This video helped me hugely in the first months of my BJJ journey. It provides very basic but time proven options from every major position and lays the fundament for the future more sophisticated development. A must for all newbies who want to have a well rounded fundamental game from the first months of their training.
this was my 1st purchase and is brilliant. so many techniques covered. Great as a new white belt
A really great course that covers most of the fundamentals that you need. Bernardo have a really good way of explaining things and showing a lot of details.
