The reviews
From new practitioners to more advance bjj practioners. Great to have in your library.
Great attacking technique tutorial
This is a good video full of sneaky submissions and sweeps from different positions. That said, I don’t think all the techniques in here are ideal for ‘giant killing’. For example there are techniques from mount and side control here. If you have ever trained against someone seriously bigger than you, you know that it’s almost impossible to use those pins against them. They just push you off. (For this reason, I prefer Matt Arroyo’s tutorial on fighting bigger grapplers, which works around these positional problems). I would say the same for closed guard, it’s not really a good position against ‘giants’. (At least not for normal hobbyists like me!) But like I said, great techniques and Calasans explains everything well here.
Excellent
This is a great video. So many great techniques to elevate your game.
Giant tips
Good strategies set
The most unique in the world
Calasans is amazing it's not a surprise with his unique game that he became an IBJJF World Champion and ADCC World Champion in the same year!
The moves are PRICELESS!

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Good
Lots of wrist locks you can use :smiling_imp:
Very helpful
Some techniques helped me a lot. I'm the smallest guy in the club and almost always I have to fight guys much havier than me. Movements from this instructional are working like a charm.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:The Techniques are so easy to understand!
Well done! The techniques are so easy to understand! I just volume 1 but can't wait to apply the techniques using sparring and looking forward to the next volumes 2-4!

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:DVD 4 Leg Locks
DVD 4 is all on Leglocks. Claudio does some unusual leglock entries into knee bars, toes holds etc.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Practical and high-percentage techs by ADCC champion
I am rewatching series many many times, Calasans is a beast in closed guard games. He shows many submit, sweep and set up from there. It's amazing that he can transition to attacks uke wherever he wanted such as wristlock(with high percentage ways) arm lock as well as leg locks. Highly reccomended.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Love Claudio's take on guard
Love Claudio's take on guard etc. Quality stuff from an amazing competitor.
