Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗The Single Best Demonstration of the Classic Scissor Sweep I've Ever Seen
The Forgotten Sweep by Jeff Curran
I've loved the scissor sweep since I first saw it demonstrated a year and a half ago, but like most I struggled to land it on players with any experience. Drilling, observation, trial and error, and lots of research led to some improvement, but hitting the technique consistently was still an uphill battle. Enter Curran's "Forgotten Sweep." His details are simple and sensible additions to the classic sweep as it was introduced to most us in our first or second BJJ class. (As opposed to Henry Akin's version, for example, which is a complete re-imagining.) They provided answers to common problems I was experiencing while also fitting with my own observations about what made the scissor sweep work better for me -- "me" being a guy who does not have particularly long legs for added leverage, nor a powerful upper body which can simply "upright row" an opponent off balance while laying on one's side (as Chewy does, for example). The way Curran uses his supporting leg is particularly insightful: first as a grip to keep his weight on and tighten his connection with his opponent in preparation for the sweep, then as a hook to keep his opponent from scrambling back to guard after it (a very common, very annoying problem to deal with). What is even more interesting is the way his legs, hips and upper body spiral almost independently of each other, which fits very well with the BJJ movement/mobility concepts Xande Reibero and Cameron Shayne explore in "The Budokon Mobility System" (also sold on BJJ Fanatics). The result is a sweep which (when Curran does it) has the elegance of a Judo throw. In sum, this is the instructional I've been looking for for well over a year. Would have preferred to have found it earlier, but I'm glad I have it now.

The Complete North South Choke by Marcelo Garcia
Marcelo presents the North South Choke so clearly and comprehensively that I started tapping higher belts right away with it. Now everyone in my academy comes to me to learn it or for me to help them tune it up. As a smaller, older, slower guy, I love the way controlling the neck from NS helps me keep large, young, athletic players down, and even if they explode out trying to defend the NS Choke they expose their arms to NS Kimuras or end up in a front headlock or even in a darce. I built a lot of my game around this choke, thanks to these videos.

Exploring Outside Heel Hooks by Sean Applegate
Thank you for your instructional: it had the best structure and the most well-founded leglock knowledge I have seen so far (including the bestseller...). You have also broken down well-known terms such as centerline exposure into practical scenarios in an extremely understandable way. for me even with an added value compared to Danaher, Gordon or Jason rau. I hope you find other ways to share your technical-understanding with us.

The Modern Defensive Guard by Ryan Hall
Holy moly, this was paradigm shifting. I feel like a beginner all over again. Heavy on concept, this instructional is all about how there is something rotten in the state of Jiu-Jitsu. Often we accept bottom without a second thought. Ryan goes through painstaking details about why that's often a bad idea, and what's a better way. So much to digest here. I'll be referring back to this for years.

Keeping the Guard by Alec Baulding
Baulding's guard retention video series has helped me in both concrete and intangible ways. His specific retention recommendations like framing and leg windmilling are really useful, but also his attitude that aside from techniques, guard retention is also about confidence, has helped me fight to retain guard in positions I previously would have mentally conceded. If you follow him on IG or Youtube you'll see he has this unique and warm way of encouraging his viewers to keep trying. I love the way he has Placido replicate the techniques as Baulding coaches him - that helped me drive home some of his lessons, like making bigger movements. I return to these videos again and again to tune up the techniques shown.

Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
Excellent escape instructions for all the major pin positions. All the concepts were very helpful, as were all the intricate details about all the body movements and escapes. Super helpful, especially for white belts, but I'm sure there are a lot of practical details for color belts as well.

Unstoppable Standups by Chris Paines and Charles Harriott
White belt trying this with white belts so take this review with that in mind. Really enjoyed this video series. I've started playing with it against the other white belts in my gym and it seems promising. The threat of standing up is one more thing for them to contend with, one more factor in their decision making and one more chance for them to overcommit. Now they don't just have to worry about me sweeping or subbing but they need to consider standing up as well. I think this DVD would pair well with Craig Jones just stand up to expand the range in ways you can get to your feet or threaten to get to your feet. The elbow frame seems to work well and I've used it a few times to help get out from the bottom in sparring. I need to drill it more however as my posture isn't quite right while doing it but even so I've had some success with it.

Jordan Teaches Bottom Half Guard by Jordan Preisinger
Since half-guard has been the focus of my bottom game for years, I did not expect to get much out of this instructional but was so pleasantly surprised. Jordan gets right to it. He teaches in a conceptual manner but integrates this directly into the technique that he is teaching rather than having a long-winded prologue beforehand. This may be the most satisfied that I have been with any jiu-jitsu course. This is surely a great course for a newer grappler but has something for advanced students, too. Well worth the time.

Habits For Highly Effective Jiu-Jitsu by Garry Tonon
This course really is like a summary of good habits, You might have heard and done somethings before -but he really highlights the awareness of certain things - and shows why awareness of the thing is important. Its a very conceptual broad course and he really nails it. For me this course really shows the importance of and how to take away bad habits. My bjj are already improved thanks to this course.

Down Right Sloppy Half Butterfly by Eoghan O'Flanagan

The Anti-Wrestling Equation by Craig Jones
Given that I already have the first two volumes of Danaher's Standing 2 Ground, I was hesitant to get this. However, Craig shows different techniques, and also has several different teaching angles that helped things click for me. Also, there are some neat facts about the differences between wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu. Get this if you want to improve your standing game, front headlock series, and also learn more about effective wrestling for Jiu-Jitsu.

Make Z Guard Great Again by Craig Jones
One of my favourite instructionals. There's so much more here than just the knee shield. Craig is an amazing teacher.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Engaging, thorough and effective
The Arm-In Guillotine Choke by Ricardo Almeida
Almeida's video series on the Arm-In Guillotine Choke is aimed at recreational players, but these are techniques that work at the highest level, like the sacrifice throw his former student, Gordon Ryan, used on Keenan Cornelius in ADCC. Almeida's teaching style is particularly engaging - he teaches with his voice and with his entire body, and references the history of the move and specific matches to watch for the curious to gain context. He demonstrates the way the grip can be used to control, sweep or submit from standing and ground. I think the greatest intangible I learned is the way that Almeida's techniques flow from his powerful intention - he's methodical, sure, but more importantly, he's driven, and that emotion and that willpower comes through in the ways he demonstrates how to move. I can't recommend this video series highly enough - it changed my game!

Back Attacks Enter The System by John Danaher
I'm still giving this five stars, because it's incredible. But, volume five of the New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Mounted Pin Attacks instructional has a lot of updated information on their back attack system. However, the explanation of the grip fighting sequence here is much more robust. I understood and implemented that a lot better than from what I learned in the New Wave edition. You can't go wrong with this.
