The video is very useful and helps me plan fundamental class better
Classic Move..especially for larger opponents
Good stuff
I haven’t been able to find a gym due to my current financial situation, but this course has helped me go back and focus on key details. It has also allowed me to teach my wife Jiu Jitsu from home as well.
great fundamentals
Good stuff
Great content! Great value for what you get
I am brand new at BJJ though I have spent my life in athletics and sports. As we know, there is so much technique underlying BJJ and it can be confusing as to where to start and what to do. With the Foundations of BJJ course you can learn directly from Bernardo Faria a world champion which dramatically accelerates your learning process! Highly recommend!
Solid Fundamentals in this Instructional just like his escapes From Everywhere Dvd
Need the basics!
Great content covering much of the basics but I wish you wouldn't keep repeating certain phrases like "fighting against Kyle" over and over....
Excelent content
A lot of bases covered
Great fundamentals! Amazing instruction.
It cleared so me things up.
Very good Fundation technics!
I had some doubts with the very first technique being a jumping closed guard, something Bernardo himself admits is now illegal for white belts in competition. It didn't make sense to start a series on foundations with something that was not in fact foundational. However, the rest of the videos were very informative and helpful. I have already integrated some of the techniques into my training at my local school. The static camera can sometimes be a challenge, as the viewer cannot see what body parts are obscuring. Otherwise, this has been very good at cleaning up and augmenting local training.
These are very solid instructionals on the fundamentals of jiu jitsu. Well explained by Bernardo and well worth the money.
Clear and easy to follow
Great review of BJJ fundamentals. My go to when I need a refresher.

Would Recommend
bernando is a master of bjj, this video explains the foundation principles that all belts should know. i highly recommend it
I have reviewed this video several times since purchasing it 6 months ago, it is that informative.
This is a Great, short review of a wide range of techniques.
I have learned so much from watching these videos that I have had a lot of success on the mats.
Great series focusing on Fundamental techniques
This one has been really helpful. I have been needing more if this instruction amd it has added alot to my study.
This is a constant resource that I go back to over and over. Bernardo provides detailed explanations of the fundamentals we all work to master.
Clear, straightforward explanations and demonstrations without overwhelming with details. The bundle includes both basic foundational techniques and more advanced techniques. It was very useful for my blue belt test but will definitely still be useful as I go forward as it covers a lot.
brilliant
Great content, techniques are explained very effectively.
For someone who's just starting out, like myself, this is exactly what I need to supplement my game on my off days!
Good
thorough explanations on a lot of techniques, a must for beginners
Lot of great info covering most spots in the game,
One of the things I love about this is that he hits basics that I didn't get when I started bjj. Coming from judo there where aspects of the standing game, for instance, that I already knew, but someone coming in with no experience would be thrown to the wolves, so to speak, in most classes, just because you typically aren't going to get this sort of "from the ground up" instruction. Plus, his highlighting of the finer points of technique are really appreciated. For myself, coming from other grappling arts, it's nice to have the refreshers and also to get those nuances.
Great back to basics to review.
Absolutely fantastic
Excellent set of tutorials on the fundamentals
A good set of techniques to get someone started in bjj. There's not much time dedicated to each technique but he addresses the most common errors and why they are wrong. Good for a no ice to get a fell for the fundamentals
great video
As a blue belt this has been a great way to review a lot of what I've learned in class handful of new techniques.
Love the videos help alot
Faria is just so efficient with his instruction. It makes this series so easily to reference and my kids love it. Try getting kids to watch Danaher lol!
This instructional covers many fundamental techniques well!
so far very good instructional and he walks through everything like your there in class with him.
