Basics Win
I've watched and revisited techniques within this series many many times throughout my white belt journey. After learning a technique in class, I would re-watch Bernardo's instructional to reinforce those small details. Highly recommend. I'm sure I will keep coming back to re-watch this series for many years to come
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻fantastic!
great and simple way to break things down for beginners.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The foundations of your BJJ house
Every house needs good foundations!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Foundational knowledge in a condensed form.
As one progresses further along the road that is BJJ, it becomes increasingly important to look over the foundations. And what better way to do it than with Bernardo Faria? In this instructional Bernardo goes through fundamental moves from all the well known positions. This is an instructional to keep as a reference over the most important basics of Jiu-jitsu.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻very well done
im a zero stripe white belt. I have found his teaching Increadibly useful and enlightening.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻must have
great foundation - also the more advanced student can take a lot of benefits from this video.
Sooo Helpful
I started training jiu jitsu about 2 months ago at an academy with no beginner class, but a bunch of killers. The focus is mainly rolling for 45 minutes with about 20-30 minutes drilling, so I felt I was lacking a lot of basics. This helped tremendously.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Easy to follow
I like the passion Bernardo has for jiu jitsu. It's great to learn the fundamentals from him. I also have his half guard instructional for when its time to specialize a bit in that area.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Easy to follow videos!
Excellent videos. Bernardo’s lessons are very easy to follow. As a white belt I’m always looking for something easy to incorporate into my evening training, none of these overly complex moves that I see some of the higher belts pulling off (on me usually lol), which still don’t make sense to me just yet. These lessons feel like the foundation I need.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fundamental
This is an excellent foundation to understanding the major positions and options from them for jiu jitsu. Highly recommended for beginners or those looking to relearn the things they have forgotten.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Hands down my favourite Instructor!
Bernardo Faria is hands down my favourite BJJ instructor! Why? Because he is enthusiastic and entertaining about what he teaches. He is clear and concise and doesn't bog down in unnecessary complicated details. Professor Faria is excited about what he teaches and shares personal anecdotes about what makes the techniques successful.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Terrific overview
A terrific introduction to the overall basics — thorough and broadly covering fundamental skills and concepts. Terrific!
Great
Really good for beginners, shows all the basic stuff you should know.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Get this one
Another Excellent instructional. Covers plenty of the basics yet goes deep enough to act as a great refresher.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Good value
Great beginner "encyclopedia" of moves!
Great starter information
I’ve only been training jiu jitsu for about a month and wanted something to augment my time on the mat. This series is perfect. It helped me to recognize the different positions I found myself in and what to do in those positions. Instruction was clear and concise and was organized and easy to follow.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻very insightful!
very insightful!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Not quite what I needed
My expectations were not matched. It does not provide simple general concepts that are useful for beginners.
Huge honor
every white belt should learn this inside and out
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Probably the best explained foundation instructional
Bernardo does a great job explaining all the foundations and basics easily for everybody to be able to understand, must have if youre new in the sport.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great course!
This is an amazing course for all people, especially beginners. It has great information and it is explained very well.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Recommended
Awesome tutorial for the basics and a white belt like me!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fundamentals
This is a great fundamental instructional covering everything a beginner needs to know.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great and very complete fundamentals
very complete and clear instructional on fundamentals.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻So Good
Bernardo is the man. This has to be one of the best instructional intros you will ever buy.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great value, clear details without overwhelming
Bernardo's instructional is well-structured and detailed, without being overwhelming. The content is delivered quickly, and the bookmarks make it easy to re-watch sections, giving me a great value for money. My best results have been taking one or two techniques from the instructional and trying to implement them in rolling each week.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Perfect introduction to BJJ
This is the perfect first video for someone starting BJJ. It covers all major positions--both on offense and defense--so that someone with less than a year of experience can easily understand two to three basic moves from the most common situations. Bernardo typically shows each technique about three times and points out different, critical details each time. I would highly recommend this +5 hour video to anyone with less than 50 hours of training experience.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻very informative
The gym i go to never showed me a foundation to BJJ - this instructional helped ease my way into bjj and improved my game
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent Fundamental Instructional
Excellent instructional focused on the fundamental techniques for BJJ. Really helps in laying a foundation on which to build with more advanced techniques as time progresses. Thanks, Bernardo!!! Excellent work. OSS!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Video for Teaching a Fundamentals Class
I have recently started teaching a fundamentals class for our newest students at my gym, and this video along with Prof. Faria's Fundamentals video has been great. For teaching basic guards, subs, and escapes, this course is exactly what I needed to get the details down and to find a way to explain/teach each concept/technique. I am also tightening up my own fundamentals at the same time. This is a great buy. Well worth the price !

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Bernardo Faria
This instructional - Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Bernardo Faria - is an excellent instructional for both beginner and more experienced BJJ practitioners. This is a very generous six part video series with over 5 hours of great instructional material from 5x BJJ Black Belt World Champion, Professor Bernardo Faria. It presents the fundamentals of BJJ, which will help develop a very strong base and foundation for BJJ practitioners. I have a number of Professor Faria's instructionals and find them all to be excellent. In fact I had already purchased this instructional previously, and then I saw it bundled with another of Professor Faria's videos - Introduction To BJJ by Bernardo Faria - so I got it in that bundle too when I purchased them together. This will be a very good addition to any practitioners personal library.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome Intro to BJJ
This is an excellent way to improve your fundamentals, and give you a toolbox to work with when you start rolling. This will improve your escapes, sweeps and finishes with the ABC’s of jiu-jitsu
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Big help
So many tips and tricks in this video, really help progress my game and strategy on the mat
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic
Great dvd! Will definitely purchase more.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Bernardo explains in detail these basics that you need to learn when starting out in BJJ. The techniques he presents is as basic as it can get. This and his Escapes from Anywhere DVD is perfect for white belts/beginners.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great for beginners!
I am a white belt and this instructional really helped me to learn basic moves from most positions. It made me more confident knowing I had at least 1 move from all positions.
