Josh Hosang
Excellent breakdowns, love the mix of BJJ and Catch, trained alot of these moves with success. Sneaky sneaky and painful at times (in a good way)
This guy is a goat
I've trained with him 2 months. My first Jiu-jitsu (No-Gi) experience. He knows the stuff and knos how to teach it. Experience in BJJ, Catch Wrestling ... I think he told me he also did MMA. And very humble, very nice. Louise, the uke, is also a great jiu-jitsu black belt, dangerous :) She took me at first for some basics and to both of them I'm thankful. I was looking for an cheap instructional to cash a 30% code and didn't know what to buy as I'm still a newbie. When I saw this, I did not have any doubt.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Catch them all
I've been fortunate to train with Chris Thompson for over 2 years, and his course offers the techniques that have brought success to both him and his students. His teaching style simplifies complex moves, making them accessible to practitioners of all levels. With a focus on catch techniques, including impressive leglocks, I've seen significant improvements in my understanding and proficiency. Under Chris's coaching, I've achieved personal milestones, such as placing first as a brown belt in the European 2022 and Pans in 2023. This success extends to his other students as well. His course provides a comprehensive overview of proven techniques, directly influenced by his own experiences. It's an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to elevate their jiu-jitsu skills.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Level up your game!
Chris is a fantastic teacher in person and online. Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to train with him on a regular basis. This instructional is an excellent way to learn from him anyway! I highly recommend this instructional to anyone who already has some basic knowledge and would like to incorporate the brutal and effective techniques into their game! The techniques are well explained and can be implemented directly on the mat!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:fire::hugging:An instructional that will put hairs on your chest
Having trained with Chris for nearly 10 years, this instructional was just what I was looking for. As an instructor with my own grappling club, this is a great resource, now I can pass on the knowledge that I have learned from Chris, to my own students with even more confidence. Due to being able to look back and recap techniques, particularly the finer details. For those who have never trained with Chris in person , you are in for a treat. Chris is straight to point with clear and concise teaching points. You will not find him discussing the nuance of a grip for 45 minute, thus causing you to fall asleep. You will be able to 'give it some gusto' on the mats, shortly after watching and studying this instructional
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Excellent Instructional
Great instructional, what I enjoyed about it is that Chris introduces a diverse range of techniques across the instructional but it never feels like they're unconnected. I've already managed to use a selection of them in training to great effect. Thoroughly recommendTm
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Complete grappling guide
A great and rare combination of both elements of bjj and catch wrestling blended together into high percentage techniques that will "catch" your training partners and opponents of guard and improve your game leaps and bounds
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:awesome instructional

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:5 stars
I have bought a few different instructionals in the past but this is by far the best! Chris provides so much value for money and teaches in such a way that's easy to understand and enables you to quickly start implenting the techniques into your game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Excellent Blend of Grappling Tools
Chris Thompson has put together an exciting and well rounded toolbox for grappling. His mix of BJJ and Catch as Catch Can is sneaky and technical. It's really fun to practice and you see results quick, once you have integrated some of these tools in your game. I personally have found the half halch tools and 2 on 1 series quite useful.
