Awesome content
Will definitely pull up on brodie if he ever comes to Atlanta
This is good for all nogi players.
I really like the concepts that Craig Jones tries to instill. I definitely will be practicing my turtle and standing up instead of sitting back to guard.
Such quality content
Nice new perspective on wrestling in BJJ
Craig breaks things down and reverse engineers them in such a brilliant way. Great investment.
This instructional compliments the b team bottom game instructional very well. The only complaint I have is that the instructional seems to get kind of off topic toward the end.
Good
In jiu jitsu, some of these positions are ignored in class ans Craig gives a game plan on how to handle them right here in these videos. Highly recommend
Great concepts that were new to me here. Highly recommended.
Half the in structural is about getting up and the other half is about keeping them down. This sounds simple but this kind of thing can give BJJ practitioners fits. Especially if you grapple with an MMA fighter. Knowing how to both deal with it but also use it is a commonly over looked skill. This like a lot of Craig’s stuff will make your BJJ more cage effective. I highly recommend it.
great concepts to keep reviewing for improvement
Helpful even for older blokes
Great concepts that are very easy to plug in and play.
Some awesome concepts in here. Lots of new information that really helped me look at the standard top player / bottom player scenario in a new light. Craig briefly touches upon some MMA concepts as well. All in all, a very well done and interesting instructional.
Highly recommended, unorthodox and eye opening instructional
Unorthodox, shows you a different view of many positions that opens new possibilities and leaves a lot of traditional BJJ stuff moot!

I have been able to make this work despite the fact that Craig is Australian.
Half is turtle stuff, half is some nice pinning stuff, some of it feeds nicely into power ride
Great, very detailed video. Super useful easy to understand
Good stuff, half the instructional is abt holding people down who try to stand up, good details explaining negating the power half
Good details and concept, started implementing it quickly with success.
hat mir sehr geholfen
Honestly a great new perspective on the dynamics of jiujitsu.
Great focus on the why and the philosophy. Awesome technique is the icing on the cake.
I love the concept and effectiveness
Review
A different approach to many of the classic positions
Unorthodox but very effective
Great instructional on how to escape common positions. great concepts on pins as well.
Nice stuff. I like the turks
good for wrestle style jitz
Excellent instructional. Bought because I hate being stuck on the bottom, can’t wait to infuriate my training partners with these techniques/strategy. Recommend 100 peecent
Quite unorthodox, highly informative
This instructional challenges the "unwritten rule" a lot of people apply to their BJJ - that if youre on the bottom, you stay there unless you sweep. Disregarding that opens up a lot of new stuff in your game!
Entertaining commentary while explaining useful techniques emphasizing key principles
Excellent look at turtle and alternate pinning .
Really interesting take. Great look at using the turtle to escape pins
Awesome instructional, what I found the most helpful is actually the second half or second focus of the instructional. Craig goes into detail on how to stop people from standing up. The half guard pins are my favorite part
上を上手く取れるようになりました。
Really liked this instructional as it gave in depth technique but also niche concepts to build on.
Loved the turks- already having success with this stuff.
A new look on some of the traditional positions
Loved it, even coming to it with a solid turtle game.
Craig does an amazing job at integrating wrestling concepts into jiu jitsu.
Really helping with my turtle game
The best tutorial for developing a wrestlers approach to the turtle in context of bjj
Definitely has helped my grappling/MMA game
