Open Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
Professor John Danaher offers THE open guard formular and techniques for any level and scenario. It is about cross collar and sleeve as guard to attack with sweeps and upper body submissions ss well as using collar snd sleeve to transition to other open guard positions to sweep. The greatest benefit for myself is utiizing the collar and sleeve whenever it is very busy and chaotic to choose my path. Highly recommend this matetial and approach!!

Easy to follow and simple to apply backtake and attack series
The Single Strap Back Take Encyclopedia by Bernardo Faria
Professor Bernardo Faria provided an easy to follow and simple to apply backtake and attack series around the single strap backtake. The explanaitions are on point and the counters to your opponent's counters are built up in systematical way. I am often struggeling with seat belt backtakes because of a lack of mobility in my left hip and knee. I was able to apply the backtake immediately in sparring. I am looking forward to use it after dfillung a lot!! Highly recommend!!

Juji Gatame - Armlock
Arm-Lock Series (Juji-Gatame) by Jimmy Pedro & Travis Stevens
Sensei Jimmy Pedro and Sensei Travis Stevens provided a great series about the juji gatame out of the cloes guard and the turtle top position. They cover in depth entries and grip breaks as well as countering the common counters and eventually finish the armbar. They show in great detail how to use youre whole body to put weight on your opponent´sRead more about review stating Juji gatame made simple limbs to turnover from turtle and primarely the arm which is defending when your opponent is flat on the mat.

No longer the cutting edge, but still very nice stuff
Down Under Leg Attacks by Craig Jones
In 2017, this instructional was flat-out revolutionary. In 2023, when we've been well into the leg lock renaissance for a few years, it's no longer the absolute game-changer that it used to be, but the material here is still extremely important to master for anyone who wants to play leg locks at a high level. The "meta" at the top level has changed- in this instructional Craig spends a lot of time working on the saddle position, for example, in contrast to how he shows a more diversified set of techniques in his more-recent Systematic Submission Dilemmas- but if you're competing at the level where that would matter, you knew that already. If you've stayed up to date on B-Team/ New Wave instructionals in the last couple years, you might have seen some of this already, but it's still an excellent entry point for those who are looking for their first leg lock instructional.
Excellent
The Complete Crucifix Back Attack System by Marcelo Garcia
Really great instruction on a great position by one of the best around.
Must have class in understanding the triangle choke!
The Triangle Machine by Craig Jones
Craig is a good teacher and his technical knowledge is high up there! I was very happy with this course
Coach Neil Melanson did another
The Science of Filthy Triangles by Neil Melanson
Coach Neil Melanson did another outstanding instructinal! This one is about triangles form closed guard and K-guard set ups and some half guard set ups too. For myself the most important section was the break down of the ideal lock of the triangle as well as the uniion of the legs and amrs to finish non-traditional triangles - ones where you may see the shoulder and did not get certain angles. Another great value for me is the kumura series within this insturctional as well as the concept of always going for the triangle and the arm if availaible or can be get available. The instructions are underlined by overall concepts of the given positions and on point and in an logical order to make an easy understanding happen. Highly recommend!
Fantastical
Wrestling Fundamentals From The Bad Guy by Chael Sonnen
Chael has the ability to teach in a thoughtful, informative and enthusiastic manner. If you thought all Chael could do was talk to get into fights and then be grind heavy to win, think again. He has a vast knowledge and I would say underrated and underappreciated in his ideas and theories about trapping. This is a great price for some fundamentals from the gangster himself, I was definitely not expecting much but what Chael delivered was a masterclass.
Definitely worth the investment
The Budokon Mobility System by Cameron Shayne and Xande Ribeiro
This material is already helping my body to adapt. Incredible!

Half Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
This might be my favourite of the Go Further Faster series. I have quite short legs so I've found some closed guard stuff challenging. I really like that half guard is accessible to all body types and am excited to put some of these insights into action. There's some overlap with the Pin Escapes series of course. But I like that they build off each other and reiterate important info. I have used the pin escapes videos to get out from bottom side control and mount. Now this series is the next step to transitioning into my own offense.
Nice

Latest Charles Harriott "Defense To Offense..." Helped me a lot
Defense To Offense: Attacking From The Elbow Frame by Charles Harriott
Volume 1 of this instructional is some of the best teaching material I've seen all year. If you want to improve your understanding of entering into the saddle or knee bar from bottom, and you aren't quite getting it clean look no further. I also enjoy the other volumes but the first volume is my new gold standard for breaking techniques down into small bites and digesting them so that when I drill it/roll the techniques actually come to fruition against live resistance. Charles and Natasha really understand how to teach so that concepts and actions so that each function of the technique is covered and understood. I am not losing any energy to frustration or failure anymore and my confidence in my bottom entries for saddle (and butt judo too) continue to grow. It's also very easy to come back to steps as they teach it like pyramid style where after each technique is shown, there's a section showing them all together, and then a 2nd breakdown of each step of the technique for troubleshooting ( learning in layers).
Response from BJJ Fanatics👏👏Very nice stuff for half guard players
Sweep The World by Leonardo Saggioro
This instructional is a bit more focused than the title would imply- rather than sweeps in general, this is specifically a course on sweeps from bottom half in the gi (not exclusively, but Leonardo spends a lot of time covering his lapel sweep system). I'm not much of a half guard player, but I still felt like the concepts were explained well, and I particularly liked the wrestle-up sweeps shown in the second half- as more of an MMA guy, I'm definitely getting the most use out of them. Would recommend if you're interested in improving your bottom-half game in the gi.
Loved it

Must-watch for wrestling beginners
Winning First Contact by Zach Tanelli
A lot of BJJ guys who don't have prior wrestling experience really struggle with setting up takedowns. If you're not comfortable handfighting, this is a must-watch. This is not a "takedown" instructional per se, but if you're struggling to even get to positions where you can attempt a takedown, this is extremely important. Very useful for those struggling to get to get past the beginner level of stand-up.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Lots of cool details
Footlock Revolution by Daniel De Groot
Excellent instructional that focuses on foot lock and heel hook dilemmas. For someone who's trying to learn the modern leglock game, watching Daniel's techniques helped my understanding immensely. Slight audio issues aside, I highly recommend this instructional.
