Good on berimbolo
No Gi Berimbolo System Part 1 by Mikey Musumeci
Very clear step by step approach. Its very obvious why he does the steps in the order he does. Just follow them as a manual and its impossible not to understand berimbolo and howto use it. When you do the drills you can really concentrate on getting it right. My partner is heavier than me but the explanations made by Mikey made me understand key elements about weight and how to think and do the berimbolo. Probably the best buy on berimbolo you can get.

Arm Attack Escapes from early to late stage!
Ultimate Armlock Escapes by Henry Akins
Anothr great tnstructional by Professor Henry Akins! He provides concepts, positioning and escapes against all main kinds of kimura-, americana-, and straight armlocks in context of the stage of attack/defense you are in. His main focus is on positioning your body with propper posture with the right angle and propper weight distribution. He points out all important details no matter if they are small or big with the only focus on getting the protection and escape done in the most high percentage way. An omoplata escape series is also added Highly recommend!!

Down under leg attacks
Down Under Leg Attacks by Craig Jones
Well balanced leg lock instructional, dense but not too lengthy and covers both defense and attack aspects of the leg lock game.
Great way to annoy and troll training partners.
I have prayed to the gods and received infinite wisdom through this text.
Excellent Half Guard Tutorial
The Half Guard Anthology by Lachlan Giles
Lachlan Giles is excellent at explaining how the techniques work as part of his game. I wouldn't say his tutorial is as concept based as, say John Danaher's, but as a teacher I find him more practical. I particularly liked the narrated videos of sparring rounds and sections dedicated to troubleshooting common problems.
Mind blowing instructional about the iron pillow movement system
Fundamental Movement Series: Iron Pillow System by John Frankl
Professor John Frankl created an outstanding series about a complete movment linking system. It is all about channeling your opponent´s movements into the iron pillow system that you can decrease his attacking options into a predictable variaty of options that you can be well prepared for. Furthermore it gives you the option to put it in on several spots and points of the game so that if you miss a detail in your gaurd game or your escapes you can always put the iron pillow inbetween to create options to reset or progress your game by first inhibiting your opponent´s game. What I also really like is J. F. philosophical approach "to love jiu jitsu more than to win" as well as his 50+ % approach in terms of the relation between propper posture and movement. It could make it work immediately in certain situations and still working on it for the rest of my future! Highly recommend!!

By far the best positional specific Instructional on turtle and back defense!
The Turtle and Back Defense Blueprint by Thiago Macedo
T. M. created an outstanding manual on turtle and back take defense. He exactly points out when to use which technique and what to be aware of. He teaches it form early to late stage defensex and escapes. He goes in depth over how to protect you knees when your opponent tries to take your back from standing behind you. He covers most of the common ways to attack the turtle and take the back, as well as crab ride and twister back takes as well as from standing and how to prefend/defend. Furthermore he points out when and how to protect your neck and when it is safe to just focus an the legs. He exlains also how all this techniques connect to each other and how to maneuver to the basic and fundamental escapes of high percentage and low risk. Also when to accept the back take, protect the neck and transfer to a more advangageous position to progress. His explaniations are on point and with a lots of details. Highly recommend!!
Teach a different way to see jujitsu
Flow: The Top Game by Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu
I really like Cyborg philosophy. As a beginner, i tended to see jujitsu in a very competitive way. Yes, I had fun with it but I didn't perceive the fun of it the way Cyborg do. I appreciated a lot the comparison he made with football where some player do the "jogo bonito" like Neymar and others are more about "efficiency only" like 35 yo CR7 or Harry Kane.
High percentage chokes
High Percentage Chokes: No Gi by Lachlan Giles

Details excellent, not too much or too little and the whole instructional flows together excellently. A must buy for aspiring guard passers

ZERO TO DOJO HERO!
Guard Retention: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
I'm 45 years old. I started BJJ in 2019 for roughly four months, three nights a week with a group of blue belts during a deployment to Afghanistan. I stopped rolling completely until I started up again in 2023 for three nights a week. After getting crushed for a month, I knew I needed help! Enter John Danaher's (JD's) Guard Retention. I powered through the course in about two weeks but within the first week my guard retention became impassable by white belts and by the next week blue belts couldn't crack JD's code! I've been able to keep a purple belt form passing. It has been a little over a month now since I completed this series and now I either get crushed while in guard by bigger and/or better opponents or I let people pass to half guard to keep it interesting for the less experienced training partners. It's nice to have the option!!! This has taken my game and confidence to another level. I constantly get complimented on my guard retention and so I tell them about JD's amazing coaching! I am currently into JD's Pins and Escapes, another game changer and level up!
Response from BJJ FanaticsNice, great work! 👏🏼If you can get just one instructional about maintaining and controlling the back with progress to finsh - this definitely is it!
Maintaining Back Control by Andrew Wiltse
A. W put the content on point to execute maintaining, controlling and finishing from the back. He first points out the three spots of back control. Second how to get him to the underhookside if he pressures towards the head or pulls him self downwards or to the opposite of the underhook side. Then he points out how to control the turtle position and bring him back to the underhook back control. RNC series is about how to get to the best possible RNC finish and when and how to transition to other submissions. The recovery covers then your are chest to back while you are half kneeling behind your opponent and the tasks and importance of the two hooks and how to regain them and when and how to use the gift wrap/armbarposition when you lean over on top turtle to get back to to the back. Followed by when and how to use the arm triangle to chase the back and when to chase aand when to pul him into you to get back to the back. His understanding is super deep and his explanations are missing not a single detail. And of course it is always fun to listen to him! Highly recommend!!

Half Guard Passing and Dynamic Pins: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
I found a helluva lot of value from this instructional series. I find that I can now consistently force half guard top and know what moves I need to do to pass from there. It has helped me as a jiujitsu practitioner as it also informs how I ought to play half guard bottom.

The Modern Defensive Guard by Ryan Hall
I used to play half guard a lot, and "let" people to push me over and try to pass my guard. I learned a lot, but it really warped my thinking of what the guard really is. This collection changed my view of the guard, and now not only am I more aggressive, but I also started to get more submission too.
