Good
Gregor Gracie is an awesome natural instructor, his approach is clear and precise
I learned/reminded me of a lot of details that i either had wrong or had forgotten to do over time. I like Gregors teaching style, very detail oriented. I wish he would make a new more in depth general bjj tutorial, i'd love to learn more from him.

Fundamentals
Everything you need to know is in this instructional and this instructional has everything you need to know. I am especially impressed with the arm bars which really helped my game.
I have a predominantly no-gi background and really enjoy it. however, I wanted to try to become more well rounded and do some gi. this instructional was foundational to me developing a gi game. it's simple, to the point, and highly effective. no fluff, just techniques that work.
great instructions on fundamentals, very useful with plenty of study material
i love fundamentals, and really liked this instructional. different from the usual "basic program"
I like it a lot. Good details.
Great content, easy to understand.
There is a bias in some Gracie schools that gi jiu jitsu is fundamental jiu jitsu. Although I don't agree with that, I do agree that this video shows excellent fundamental jiu jitsu for the gi. If you want to add some gi techniques to diversify your game then this is a good place to start.
Great insight and instruction.
Solid fundamentals with great details.
G. Gracie shows how to open closed guard depending on the grips you get. He shows a bunch of different and when to use them preferably. Then he provides fundamental closed guard attacks and cominations followed by different sweeps from common open guards. Furthermore some attacks from side control, mount and backcontrol. Well explained!
A complete series of positions, passages and chokes. Perfect for learning and improving
this is what you need to start or consolidate yor game
Another gracie showing why they dominate the jiu-jitsu world. These are indeed high level fundamentals, the techniques are explained in a way you can understand and the video is good quality.
Clear explanations/demonstrations and insights into the fundamentals!
These moves can form a solid core for your game
