Gift Wrap Top Control and Attacks by Justin Rios, legit working
Easy to follow, working no-nonsense techniques based off gift wrap. I have known and been actively and eagerly utilizing gift wrap long before already, but now i have a broader set of options for transitions/submissions.
Great Detail and Explainations
Outstanding Value
Gift wrap options
Covers a whole host of attacking options from the gift wrap position, as well as how to achieve it from mount and side control. Includes techniques from gi and no-gi. It’s such a strong controlling position, this has definitely improved my game.
Gift Wrap Top Control and Attacks!
Great Instructional! We need more from Justin Rios :)
Amazing content! A basic move that becomes advanced with some important details
A basic move that becomes advanced with some important details. The content of the video is great. Also he shows the moves repeatedly from all angles which makes it great for learning but can be a little boring to watch. The twisting arm control (gift wrap) is really a micro-position that needs to be studied in depth. Thanks for this. Definitely 5 stars!
great
i love it
Sweet instructional
Great gift wrap stuff. Simple, easy to follow. Great job.
Gift Wrap
Great video.
Great
He shows some good tricks to secure the gift wrap and a bunch of weighs to finish. Really enjoyed it. Can put these to use right away. *roughly 3/4 no gi, 1/4 gi.
Easily my favourite instructional! I’ve always loved the control of this position, and instinctively go into this when I get mount. This just opened up more possibilities and gave me a ton of solid options. Everything is well explained, and the details are solid yet easy to remember. Hope Justin releases more instructionals because his technique and way of teaching speak to me.
Gift Wrap
The review of entries alone is worth the purchase
Super Useful, Fun and Easy to Understand!
I absolutely love this tutorial! It’s an absolute game changer. Twisting Arm Control/Gift Wrap is one of the most under explored tools around. It is often treated as just a step in another technique, but should be treated more like an actual position to defend or attack from. Justin Rios does an excellent job giving clear, concise and useful instruction that can be applied instantly on the mats.
Great and phenomenal instructor. His teaching techniques are just crispy and precise.
Fantastic Instructional
As a somewhat sadistic person, I really enjoy rendering my opponent completely helpless, and the giftwrap is just the technique for that. I learned so much from this dvd series, that I have abandoned the back in favour of the belly down mount.
Gift Wrap
Fantastic! The only instructional that I have con across that focuses on the gift wrap. This instructional shows entries and submissions from this incredibly controlling grip!

Good combo
Good simple to follow and apply combo from gift wrap, I will definitely add some of it to my game.
Great instructional
Rios does a great job on presenting all aspects of the gift wrap. Highly recommended!
Really enjoyable to watch lots of good nuggets. Love the realness
Lots of Options
If you hit the gift wrap a lot (and there's no reason you shouldn't) this set will let you explore where you can take it. This instructional isn't a system, it's more of a huge array of possibilities. You can pick the few that work best with your style.
Giftwrap
Well organized with lots of options.
Many usable options
good realistic options that you can hit as a beginner
Great Set!
If you like the gift wrap (which is a great way to get control before going for an arm attack or choke) this Instructional has maps for how you can transition to a bunch of finishes - so pick the ones you like best, and score more often by starting with the gift wrap!
Great video
just was I was looking for, a thorough diagnostic of getting into and utilizing this position.

If yiu lile the gift wrap go for it
One of my favorite positions. I got so many new ideas from this video. if you like the gift wrap position this is a good buy.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Enjoyed learning some of these.
Enjoyed learning some of these. Gift wraps always a great position to get
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗The gift (wrap) that keeps on giving
One of the seldom mentioned but really great grips. I have a mount focused game and really love to catch people already from side control with the gift wrap. It is great to get more details, set ups and positional options as there is not really much stuff availability around it.
Comprehensive and Detailed
A really well thought out systematic approach to the gift wrap. Lot's of great attacks and theory here, with detailed conversations about the positions. Upped my game
Great Instructional
As an older guy the gift wrap position is great for controlling younger and stronger opponents. This instructional does a great job of not only showing how to get the gift wrap but also control and submit your opponent. This is a must buy for older practitioners.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great option on the top
I always find myself setting up for the gift wrap but never think ahead of what to follow up or transition. This instructional gave me that opportunity. And gives me the roadmap to be creative.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great
Exactly what I was looking for to control bigger, heavier opponents. Great stuff.
Really good
If you are a top/pressure player, you often arrive in gift wrap. The dvd teach you some submissions or positional improvements from there
Helpful
If you like gift wraps, this course has a lot of ways to make them effective. I can't say exactly how helpful, since even though I've tied up a couple dozen people in gift wraps at open mats since getting this course, I still haven't gotten one of these submissions. But there are plenty of options to try.
I love this technique
I love love love this technique! This technique is my new weapon will madke me stronger. Thank Justin Rios a lot!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Seeing it Everywhere!!!!
I have been able to take the gift wrap from so many positions after watching this instructional, even on my kids while putting them to bed! Definitely a great purchase for anyone looking to dominate from the top.
