This is an amazing educational video reference especially for beginners like me. Before purchasing the video, I was often lost on the scope of the fundamentals that I should start with. After I got Bernardo Faria's Foundations of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, it definitely pointed me in the right direction. It increased my knowledge of the fundamentals and allowed me to understand the techniques and movements more comprehensively. This is definitely essential for those starting out on their BJJ journey. I find myself more confident now in different training situations because of this series. Cheers!
Found this very helpful. Would suggests to anyone looking for a stronger grasp on the foundations of jiu jitsu
This guy has a gift for teaching: great at anticipating details you probably missed, great at progressing through material logically.
There was new techniques to learn and tips and tricks for ones I already knew. Ni matter where you look or who you listen, fundamentals are the foundation. For the money, you will learn new and tweeks to solidify your game.
