Great introduction to bjj

So basic you forget how important the basics are. Video worth every dollar
Keep the basics sharp a good return reference
For the price this is the best video for new players to watch!!
With this instructional, Bernardo provides a very basic and structured overview of fundamental techniques, along with useful information. It's exactly what one needs to know at the beginning. From the differences between the gi and no-gi game to the stripe belt system, as well as other helpful tips, It’s what I needed to complete my understanding of BJJ. I highly recommend it for beginners—it’s a true introduction that helps you learn what the BJJ game is and how everything around it works.
This has a lot of information you might want before or just after your first BJJ class.
This is good for white belts who want to cover the basics. Highly recommended
Great materials
Great instructional
Just starting to dive into BJJ/grappling and this made me more confident that BJJ is the right sport for me.
Good introduction into some of the basics of BJJ.
This was a great primer course for someone considering getting into BJJ or someone who has just started (like myself). It goes over very simple and fundamental techniques as well as some tips and tricks for things to do and look out for off the mat. Definitely something I would recommend to newcomers.
This is everything that you need to know when beginning jj.
It's by one of the greatest and great for basics and beginers
This course will be interesting to anyone considering trying BJJ, and students who have just started. He does a phenomenal job answering questions you might not have even thought to ask!
Nice 101 for those new to the sport
An excellent introduction to BJJ. This is a must have video for all those new to BJJ.
Bernardo is great! Video is concise and easy to understand for those new to BJJ!
I started training a couple of months ago and these videos helped a lot to understand how to train in bjj.
I purchased this video early on when I first started. It was an excellent introduction to the sport!
Introduction to BJJ made a definite difference is my mindset going to my first few weeks of class. I felt like I at least was oriented around why people were in one position or another and what the terms being used in class meant. That alone made class much more interesting and I felt like I was able to ask higher quality questions.
Nice overview for someone completely new. Not much in terms of techniques but something that answers a lot of those newbie questions.
Easy to understand and remember
Great starting point for absolute beginners.
This is a great video for anyone interested in BJJ. I have just begun teaching a beginners class, and Prof. Faria brings up some points in this video that I never would have thought to cover. Great resource and an affordable price.
This instructional - Introduction To BJJ by Bernardo Faria - is a very good introduction for the complete beginner to BJJ. It goes through important concepts, beginner techniques and then some really important information about choosing a good BJJ school, amongst other important information. This instructional goes for about two hours and will be a good addition for the complete BJJ beginner mostly, however, I'm sure that other more experienced practitioners will also benefit.
The instructional achieves its objectives by providing a good overview of the art and providing solid advice for those wishing to start training. While the instructional provides the concepts behind each position it doesn’t teach any technique other than some basic solo skills. Other products by Faria would be better suited in my opinion such as ‘Foundations of BJJ’ if technique is what you are wishing to learn from your instructional. Overall - good introduction. Ben
Great introduction and was helpful with introducing my son to BJJ. Obrigado senhor.
I picked this video up as a college student looking to start BJJ with no experience, and Bernardo does an excellent job at explaining the absolute basics of BJJ. He absolutely makes looking for a Jiu-Jitsu school far more accessible. I feel a lot more prepared and excited to get started once I return to college in the fall after finishing this introduction. Thanks, Bernardo! Full disclosure: This series covers some solo moves and explains positions and such, but for techniques, it's better to check out his Foundations of Jiu-jitsu product.
I highly recommend this for any complete beginners that would like an intro to BJJ.
As an absolute beginner in this game i very appreciate the simple and structured approach of this introductive series of videos. Worth every penny
This instructional is very useful for beginners and even for coaches as a guide on what to teach to beginners
Great introduction
I have an apple phone and multiple chromecasts but you’re videos aren’t able to Streamed to a tv. It would make it so much easier to train and drill along if I watch it on a larger screen that I don’t have to hold. Any way to get that in the works?
