Killer Leglocks From Side Control by Erik Paulson
Killer Leglocks From Side Control by Erik Paulson
Erik Paulson always makes incredible instructionals! I love the focus on old school leg locks. Practicing my leg locks from side control has given me the confidence to attack the leg locks without the worry of giving up a superior position. This is great for anyone from leg lock newbies to veterans.
Great instructional video!
Leg Lock Counters by Ethan Crelinsten
Great instructional video!
Work Ethic
Sambo Academy: Combat Sambo by Ivan Vasylchuk
What stands out the most in this instructional is the importance of A LOT of reps on any one technique to make it automatic. Tenacious Russian work ethic on display, inspiring programming based on simplicity and effort.
Great Teaching Style
Power Ride: A New Philosophy on Pinning by Craig Jones
Worried that as a white belt I wouldn't be able to understand much of this, but very much enjoyed the focus on concepts rather than a specific step-by-step style.
A Must Have
Clinch For The Street by Burton Richardson
This is a must have for anyone to make the clinch applicable to all street situations that you might encounter. Not everything is a sport situation and Richardson shows you how to be ready for the harsh realities of the street.
The Missing Link
BJJ For The Street by Burton Richardson
This is what is what will make your BJJ more complete and street applicable. Must have for any BJJ practitioner to round out your skills.
Foundational
The Catch Wrestling Formula by Neil Melanson
I asked my instructor at one point which person I should watch to emulate and learn from. He recommended Neil and I proceeded to obsessively follow him. He’s a fantastic grappler/teacher and his great strength is systematizing and combining different grappling styles together. Neil provides a lot of material in this instructional. I am particularly fond of the first “disk” where he goes over the whizzer. In my opinion, his teaching on the whizzer is worth the price of the instructional. That particular move has saved me several times. There’s a couple series here that he explores more in depth later on like the cradle of filth. Still, I think this instructional has a lot of gems that are worth studying. You can’t really go wrong with Coach Neil. Stay filthy.
Perfect

Combatives & Street Jiu Jitsu by Dan "The Wolf Man" Theodore
Theodore does a great job of mixing everything from MMA to various Jiu-Jitsu styles ( not just BJJ), aikido and dirty street fighting, just to name a few. Gives good explanation of how to put your attacker in positions he doesn’t want to be in as well as how to finish him once you are there. One of my favorite videos in my whole BJJ FANATICS library!

C.N. shows a lot of aspects and variations of the Bull Sweep and Bicycle Sweep with establishing position on both feet or side control or mount. An extra benefit is that he also shows what could happen if you get lazy with one of the keypoints if the techniques.
Very cool guard
The Guillotine Guard by Bjorn Friedrich
I've seen incomplete variations of this guard through the years. I've never seen it so well explained and as with as many options as Bjorn presents. This is a very cool guard. I purchased this course and his advanced one as well. I think I'm going to enjoy integrating these into my game. Thank you for the great material!!

Perfect choice for better finishes
Connected Reaction Armlocks and Spiral Armlocks by Paul Schreiner
I really dig Paul Schreiners way of teaching. He is very thoughrough in his explanations and also gives you several choices on how to finish. One example is how he explains the ease to go from side/near side armbar/papercut choke/north south choke and whenever the **** hits the fan go back to a stable side control. Thanx for improving my game mr Schreiner!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗“Go train!”
Fundamentals of a Jiu Jitsu Renegade by Kurt Osiander
This is the only instructional you really need, I was familiar with Kurt Osiander from his Move of the week series and the documentaries on YouTube, so when I actually found a school and started training I picked up this dvd to try aid my progress. I’d apply the techniques I’d seen in this dvd that covers the importance of closed guard, sweeps, escapes and submissions, after a while my coach told me while rolling “you KNOW JiuJitsu”. This dvd comes on sale a bit it’s well worth the money, it’s fun and informative I really enjoy Kurt’s style, he likes a joke and trains hard. If you’ve seen his Instagram account or seen him on podcasts in the last few years he’s been going through some stuff and could use some support, this isn’t to drum up charity, this is well worth it for your own progress. My favourite from this dvd is the simple sweep with a cross collar grip because it sets up a triple attack(cross collar choke/arm bar/super cross collar choke) from mount after using the closed guard effectively. Also shout out to the assassin beetle roll. For reference I’m 6”0, 120kgs. This suits my style of using weight and pressure passing, controlling my opponent and “cooking” them using good positioning and then working for submissions. Thanks for putting this out Kurt, it was a fantastic reference when I was starting through to now, it’s also the stuff I show people starting out. “Go train!”
Very Good How To For the Street

The Cobrinha CapoFit Workout For Grappling by Rubens "Cobrinha" Charles
I have been doing these exercises at home, at least once a week, and they have been helping a lot. I am in my mid 40's and these exercises have been helping me move better and smoother.
Neil is real impressive.
Advanced Guard Systems by Neil Melanson
So far I've loved everything that I have purchased of Neil's. Shoulder Pin, Half Guard, Full Guard, Adv. Guard, etc... his material is refreshing. He's got a good sense of humor. You can tell he cares about the sport. Seems like a good dude. The course is real interesting the way he does things. It's real unique and you can see how it would be useful. I've been practicing religiously on the grappling ***** in preparation for getting some work done on the mats. Great stuff.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Loving the 10th Planet stuff
Truck The World by Geo Martinez
I just finished watching this whole thing, and I'm having a lot more success with the truck and my half guard. I am loving all of the 10th Planet stuff!!!
Easily the Best Instructional Ever
The Modern Defensive Guard by Ryan Hall
Ryan Hall starts from the premise that if you want to understand the guard, you need to understand some points about jiu jitsu as a whole subject, and he spends five volumes explaining a way to think about jiu jitsu that is pretty mind blowing and immediately improved my performance in many positions at the next open mat I went to. I'm just getting into his specific approach to the guard now and I'm seeing things I haven't heard mentioned before but that I think will be as solid as everything he said up to now. THANK YOU!
Must have!
Standing2Ground: Takedowns & Standing Skills For Jiu Jitsu by John Danaher

Game film over and over.
The Complete Butterfly Guard by Marcelo Garcia
On the weekends my family would visit my grandparents house in the Bay Area (they had cable). I would watch hours of baseball games and watch pitchers pitching on TV. I ended up pitching for a World Series game when I was in high school by practicing what I learned. If you want to sweep someone do the same with this class. Thank you Marcelo Garcia.
