• Big guy must have

  This was a great instructional that made the concepts relatable to me as a big guy. My fav line was "I like the half guard as a big guy, I move an inch they move 10"

• Solid half

  A great half guard gameplan, for which you don’t need to be strong or agile like in your 20s. Vol 2, in particular, is really a gem.

• Heavy Bottom Game by Master Fabiano Scherner

  I found his instruction very useful. Masterfully breaking each move down to where you can understand every aspect of the technique. Excellent instructional.

• Heavy bottom applicable stuff

  Fabiano Scherner offers us a practical and efficient system to submit and sweep in the guard and half guard. No fancy berimbolo stuff but a lot of applicable concepts and details.

• Not just for heavy weights (long review)

  This Gi instructional teaches sweeps and submissions from the bottom, specifically 3 from closed guard; 14 from half guard knee shield; and 2 techniques on how to effectively escape half guard with your back flat on the mats. This is a technique focused instructional with a total run time of 1 hour and 30 minutes. At the time of writing this review the marketing material implies this instructional is for the larger player (i.e., “Find a guard game that lets you use your size and strength from the bottom”), however I am small and these techniques work for me because they are simply good BJJ techniques. I have been able to sweep much larger opponents because Fabiano Scherner teaches how to firstly select an appropriate technique, initially unbalance the opponent, effectively use your body weight and maximise leverage. Obviously as a smaller person, if the opponent is really heavy / massive I might not attempt to sweep them, but the submissions taught will work on opponents of all sizes. The techniques taught are not overly complex and this helps to memorise the technique and reduce the opportunity for the opponent to block your submission or sweep. Fabiano Scherner gives clear directions and the demonstrations are easy to follow. He stays on topic. As is the norm, demonstrations are repeated from different angles. There are no notable issues with sound or video quality (e.g., range, focus, or lighting). This instructional appears to have been filmed at the BJJ Fanatics studio. The preview chapter (Vol 1, Chapter 6 – lasso sweep from pass) and the trailer are consistent (i.e., sound and vision) with the balance of the instructional. In summary, there are some great techniques taught in this instructional. Using these techniques, you should be able to improve your sweeps and submissions, particularly from the half guard.
