Very good instructional Well organized Great for beginners or advanced players
Decent but not my favorite, a lot of focus on timed reversals, but decent overall. Schreiner's is superior.
This instructional has made a huge difference to my game when it comes to how I escape side control, knee on belly and north south in particular. I often find myself coming back to this one. Everything is very well instructed and practical.
