Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Great Info
Master Chief Series: Defensive Tactics for Guardians by Jason Henderson
I really liked the duck under approach to the back then to knee on belly and kimura. I mainly bought it for his knife defense technique. The lighting in many parts were too dark to really see what was happening in the live scenarios. It's also mind blowing that nearly all cops don't know or can't do his simple techniques to control a person.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great BJJ fundamentals from Chris Paines!
How To Learn Jiu Jitsu by Chris Paines
Chris Paines is one of the foremost thinkers in BJJ. This instructional goes through some fundamentals concepts for BJJ. There's nothing too complex in this instructional, but learning and applying these concepts will expedite your development by a lot! This was very useful for me.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Important instructional
Leglocks: Enter The System by John Danaher
This is such an important and pivotal instructional and acts as a full step by step curriculum to build up a world class leg lock system. It is highly conceptual - seems more so than Danaher’s later instructionals and doesn’t cover the straight Footlock / ankle lock so I’ve docked one star for that.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Great video
The Fundamentals of MMA by Greg Jackson
Great video for the price.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Unique and highly recommended
Habits For Highly Effective Jiu-Jitsu by Garry Tonon
This is one of the more unique instructionals I've ever seen- rather than positions, the focus is on concepts and how the habits established for doing one technique well can be easily transferred to another technique. For that reason, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to a new beginner, as you have to be comfortable with all the different aspects of BJJ discussed in the series before you can really start working on connecting them, but once you have that understanding, this opens up a ton of new possibilities. It's particularly great if you've watched other instructionals by New Wave members- this course really helps with drawing the lines between different aspects of BJJ and helping illuminate how everything is connected. It definitely helped my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Helped me build an offensive open guard
The No Gi Open Guard Bundle by Lachlan Giles
I felt stuck playing defense for so long on the bottom before watching this course. Super good material

Guard Retention Anthology Bundle by Lachlan Giles & Ariel Tabak
Love that they blend gi and nogi in the same instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Best takedown course if you are not an avid fan of wrestling
No Gi Takedowns Made Easy by Rick Hawn
Rick Hawn is second to none when it comes to judo takedowns translated to no gi jits. No extreme athleticism or explosiveness is needed if you follow the precise instructructions of Rick.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Clear and precise
Understanding The K-Guard by Jason Rau
Jason has so much knowledge you would think it may be over your head but he is great at explaining in a way anyone can understand
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:great!
This is a great review of all his deep half game. Its more for experience deep half players. If you are just getting into must go to his other videos. Once you played with this position for a while this will be a great overview of everything. There not a lot of breaking down on this. Just more examples of the positions he shown in his other instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:good stuff
Comprehensive Street Self Defense by Chad Lyman
the guy knows what he is talking about! I like the principles that he covers very good.

Power Ride: A New Philosophy on Pinning by Craig Jones
This series has been super helpful for a smaller grappler like myself. It helped me fill in a lot of gaps with my pressure game!
The best positional escape series on BJJFanatics
New Wave Jiu Jitsu: A New Philosophy Of Positional Escapes by John Danaher
You know what you're getting with Danaher: a very dense instructional with some absolutely outstanding material if you're willing to put in the work to comprehend it. Out of all his courses which I've watched, this one might be the most beginner-friendly (which may be intentional, given how beginner instruction is traditionally focused on surviving and escaping). That's not to say this is "easy" to follow- no Danaher course is- but if you're on the fence about his stuff, this is an excellent starting point, and extremely rewarding once you work through it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Must have.
Jordan Teaches Bottom Half Guard by Jordan Preisinger
Jordan is great at making jui jitsu easy and half guard is a position everyone needs to know. I was able to implement Jordan's half guard sweeps into my game and it has a made a huge difference.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:A must-have for half guard players
The Coyote Half Guard by Lucas Leite
If you have any interest in playing half guard in the gi, you need this. As someone from an MMA background, I really appreciated the heavy focus on sweeps and back takes rather than just playing from bottom. I would recommend being comfortable with half guard as a whole before watching just because this instructional focuses on coyote and not the many other variations that can occur, but it's 100% worth purchasing for that detailed focus once you have the overall basis down.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great closed guard passing instructional
Breaking Open The Secrets of Closed Guard by Andre Galvao
Excellent instructional - there are a lot of parts/volumes but most are pretty short and easy to digest. Galvao is an excellent instructor with a great track record of training champions so you are in safe hands. I particularly love the handcuff pass and submission - can’t wait to try it in my next roll

Rody Lock: The Nick Rodriguez Body Lock System by Nick Rodriguez
Detailed
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Incredible depth and variety of techniques
Jiu Jitsu Accelerator: Mastering No Gi Takedowns by Kendall Reusing
Out of all the takedown instructionals on BJJFanatics, this one might be the winner in terms of sheer variety of techniques shown. Kendall teaches numerous variations of every technique shown so that you will be prepared for any response by your opponent. I really appreciated the good balance between upper-body and lower-body takedowns, and even an hour dedicated to defenses. If you want to get better at stand-up in no-gi or MMA, this instructional will be hugely beneficial to your game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:One of the best jiujitsu for MMA instructionals ever made
The Anti-Wrestling Equation by Craig Jones
This instructional teaches the stuff used at the absolute top levels of MMA today, most notably by Alexander Volkanovski in his fight with Islam Makhachev. If you have any intention of competing in no-gi or MMA, you need to watch this. Granted, this is not just a "BJJ for MMA" instructional- the stuff taught here is just as effective in pure BJJ against opponents who want to play a top-heavy game, and will likely be even more effective without the threat of strikes, but as a primarily MMA guy, I was absolutely blown away.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Amazing techniques!
Love love love this instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Melanson is the man
Filthy Cross Body Attacks by Neil Melanson
You will never go wrong with any of Coach Neil’s instructionals. The thing I liked most about this one is his unconventional approaches to side control attacks you might think you already “know.” Just awesome.
Free trial
BJJ Fanatics Insiders Club - 7 Days Free-Trial
I enjoyed the trial. Some very good information. Unfortunately, I chose not to keep it. I simply did not have the time to study the information available.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Opens up my game
Guard Retention Anthology Bundle by Lachlan Giles & Ariel Tabak
This instructional helped me feel comfortable being on the attack and not worry too much about having my guard passed while in open and seated guard. Preventing the bad situations and regaining good position has really helped my game. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Excellent again!
The Pillars of Defense: Leg Locks to Guard Passing by Gordon Ryan
It's very exciting as this is the first instructional around the integration of his different systems. I also like that it seems a bit more digestible in terms of length (I'm looking at you: Half Guard Passing lol), yet still easily worth the price. Also, his partners in the rolling footage are maybe a bit more technical than in other instructionals (as they're from New Wave), so there are some great sequences to observe, along with the commentary. Recommended!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Well explained and functional

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Fundamental Stuff
The Nelson Family: Catch Wrestling Nelson Holds by Jake Shannon
Just finished my first run-thru of this material yesterday--This was a good, but less useful than I'd hoped. They clearly describe the variety of Nelson holds and a technique or two from each. They are very weak on entries / set ups (which would've been useful since most opponent's are careful not to let you jam an arm in their armpit). I also do not recall them clearing up what would make one type of Nelson better than another for a type of situation or to get a specific outcome. I had been working through Garry Tonon's "Habits for Highly Effictive Jiu Jitsu" and in Tonon's section on leverage, he explains the theories of how levers and fulcrums apply to submissions (but not to Turns). I went into this Nelson Course hoping Jake Shannon would explain the how's and whys of leverage for Turns. He does not. It is not that sort of course. It's just a collection of decent tutorials on Nelsons and some related holds.
Quick pace, large focus on headquarters passing
Awesome if you are somewhat familiar with the headquarters position for passing. If not a slower introduction to the position maybe a better fit for you. Either way its a great buy for the price.
