Foundations of BJJ
sharpen your basics
Great instructional
Got my wife into bjj from this vid. Helped her alot to understand what is going on and why. Helped me also when I bought it some years ago.
Easy to follow and great explanations!
very clear and well explained. First class
I always learn so much from John Danaher systematic explaination. He breaks down his philosophy for general and specific approaches to retaining guard.
Great for beginners(gi). Strongly recommend!
Short and to the point demonstrations of basically all the foundational positions and techniques, in a kind of encyclopedic fashion. A great starting point before you go on to more narrow and specialized instructionals!
very good
Well laid out and organized instructional
Nice
Jumping Closed Guard
Great for beginners. I've used it alot, extremely practical and provides the foundation you will need. this is my most used content.
Bernardo est un excellent technicien et un professeur hors pair. Le DVD permet d'apprendre ou de revoir plusieurs dizaines de techniques de base en vérifiant les points fondamentaux. Un DVD indispensable pour les débutants et les moins débutants.
Great basic BJJ tutorial to learn from our review after the professor teaches a technique.
I purchased this to help me come up with a teaching curriculum and ended up learning a lot of minor details that I never knew!
fully recommend this. really helpful and easy to follow along thank you.

Very very nice technics... I recommend this course for who want to begin BJJ
So far I have successfully used different sweeps, takedowns, submissions and escapes thanks to this instructional, and I haven't even finished it yet. Great product!
Nice fundamentals video lays a great base!
great learning tool
This video has been vital to my development. it has allowed me to enter my gym with more confidence and joy.
Amazing to think a lot of this can get missed for a beginner - Would 100% reccomend for anyone starting out their journey
Very Informative. Bernardo has lots of great details to show.
Really good sections on some of the basics. Learned a lot from this video.
Good video
This is a great introduction to BJJ, fantastic for any beginner to pick up.
I like to say that I visit the fundamentals class to get new ideas. It's true because many times I forget some of the most basic details. This instructional is a nice compact package to revisit over and over again.
good job good review
This product is a great demonstration of what to focus on to make specific techniques work for you. There are so many techniques in BJJ and this product helps me to catalog my “go-to” basic moves for major positions in an organized fashion, as well as helping to refine the techniques so they are more likely to work. A lot of times the daily techniques work while you practice them with low resistance, but then when you try them while sparring they don’t work. There are so many variables that contribute to landing a technique like position, speed, flexibility, strength, and the ability to chain techniques together; this video helps to solidify the basics that are a big piece to that puzzle. Happy rolling!
As a white belt a year into my BJJ journey, this video was a great way to get a broad view of what to do in many positions. The principles Bernardo gives are always backed up by details that have already made me better on the mats!
Bought this to run over fundamentals as a 4 stripe white belt - this has definetly tightened up my game and sharpened it in other places can not reccomend enough Bernardo is fantastic tutition.
I just started BJJ a few months ago. This course has helped a lot. Bernardo covers a wide variety of techniques and really break them down. Many of the techniques are the same fundamentals taught at my school, but having the videos I can remind myself of the small details I may have missed or forgot. Bernardo does a great job breaking these details down.
Really useful course, which highlights the fundamentals necessary for proper setup and execution.
thanks for teaching 👍�
I am watching this course and I am loving it!! Thank you Bernardo and all!
I just promoted to blue belt. This has greatly helped me solidify my fundamentals.
If you're just starting bjj buy this
really good vids just started watching and get more excited for training
good solid content as always.. 10/10
Fundamentals explained well by Bernardo Faria. The Flow Charts is detailed and Visual Notes are a shortcut to view the technique only. Thank you Bernardo for the great content!
