Ashi Origami: The Art of Folding Legs by Zach Green
One of the best instructors I’ve watched, I love the intricacies of leg locks and he showed it in a simple easy to learn way, I’ve upped my knowledge 10 fold from this, as a 4 stripe blue bet obsessed with learning ashi positions I have tons of tools to work on, and I’ve been working on leg locks for 2 years :joy::joy: thanks for making this affordable and formatted in the way you did. Loved it

Collar and Sleeve Flow System!
Collar & Sleeve Guard a Systematic Approach by Isaac Doederlein
I. D. created an action reaction based collar and sleeve system. No matter iif the bottom or top player initiate the action. First he is going deeply into the key facts of collar and sleeve. Then it comes to the retention with a very clear step by step approach to against the different guard gripping and passing attempts and to use them to set up your attacks. He points out really clear how valuable the half lasso is in terms of retention and setting up attacks. His attacking system is based around the omoplata attack. He combines it with tranisitions and set ups of sweeps and triangle attacks as well as armbars. He guids you step by step through each technique with very clear explanations and gives you a bunch of angles and repetitions in moderate to full speed. Highly recommend!!
Great stuff!
Killer Leglocks From Side Control by Erik Paulson
This instructional is amazing. Not only does Erik Paulson show a lot of submission chains based off of how your opponent will react, he also tells the history of where certain techniques came from. I love both aspects. Learn some of these techniques and you will be tapping people out with moves they don't even see coming!

The Unstoppable Kimura Trap
The Daisy Fresh Kimura Trap by Andrew Wiltse
Wiltse’s Kimura trap system is quite different from all the others I’ve seen but it’s far simpler to understand. As with all his videos this one is filled with rapid fire details and techniques that work on real high level opponents and there’s no wasted time or useless repetition. He’s the best instructor around.
great teaching

Crucial Details
Rody Lock: The Nick Rodriguez Body Lock System by Nick Rodriguez
I really liked Nicky Rod's body lock series. I also have Gordon Ryan's. Ok, I spend too much on tapes! Nicky Rod really brought out some key details that I've not seen elsewhere. One thing was his careful distinction between 2 on 1 leg control vs. half guard. I also liked Nicky Rod's detail on the sprawl from body lock to get rid of a butterfly hook. I've been using body lock for several months now and have been struggling with people getting underhooks. Nicky Rod gives a solution to this and to what to do about frames on the face/head. Gordon Ryan's body lock tape is also very good. There is much more detail in terms of alternatives in Gordon's treatment. Gordon also shows himself rolling and explains what he's doing which is helpful. If I were just starting out in body locking, I would start with Nicky Rod's product. One final point, Gordon's training partner is much better looking than Nicky Rod's!
Everything you need of passing guard
Guard Passing Beyond The Basics by Thomas Lisboa
Everything you needThis instructional is PACKED. I'm still going through it and will likely take a year to go through everything . Great value.
Unparalleled look at the guard
Open Guard Compendium: Lower Body Guards by Ariel Tabak
Lachlan Giles went to Ariel to improve his guard work. After viewing this instructional you can see why. The level of detail is unparalleled. He has the ability to give you the big picture philosophy you expect from a Danaher video and the detailed competition technique you expect from a Gordon video combined with the perspective of a lightweight athlete that you get from a Lachlan Giles. I recommend getting all his instructionals for a full picture of the modern guard game

Best Introductory Course
Fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Escapes Gi & No Gi by Lachlan Giles
In my opinion this is hands down a must have Instructional for your first years in BJJ. As a white belt you are going to be playing off worse positions almost all the time, and Lachlan does a phenomenal job guiding you through escaping all of them. I noticed my game has improved tremendously and I have not even gone through all of the material yet. Also, it is structured in an encyclopedia-like fashion, and you can refer to each position and each counter if you are having trouble with a particular issue. There is enough stuff here even for more advanced practitioners, so you can't really go wrong with it. 10/10 recommend.
Fantastic

Fundamentals of Side Control Escapes by Pedro Sauer
Another great video by professor saure. I know i have seen most of what was in this video before, but having his approach to the material kicks it up a notch. Also he gave a name to a move i have been using for years that i learned in my first year training and still use it to this day..
If Lachlan has an Instructional on something, buy it
High Percentage Chokes: No Gi by Lachlan Giles
Seriously. His instructionals are the definition of value for money. I was looking for an instructional on frontal chokes because my club wrestles a lot and I wanted to improve my subs from these spots, and after watching just the first volume my game levelled up tremendously. Brilliant instructional for beginners and advanced players alike.
A good look at crossbody control.
The Roger Gracie Side Control System by Roger Gracie
So all the information you would want to learn is in this set. It covers stuff you may have forgotten and covers stuff you never learned. I would recommend this video to anyone basic to intermediate or anyone who is interested in a more traditional system of side controle.
Among My favorites

Great passing toolbox
The Passing Answer by Dominique Bell
D. B. provides an great instructional with just high percentage passes. First he is outlining the set ups of each guard followed by common sweeping and submission follow ups. Then he goes deeply into the techniques and explains the general principles behind the techniques and lead through the techniques steo by step and points out very clear what you have to be aware of within each sequence of the certain passing technique. Highly recommend!!
