Exploring The Empty Half Guard by Daniel Paul Pollaccia
This course is incredible! I've been adding this to my game over the last few months and have had great success! This is something no one expects and as I practice this more and more I am only finding more and more success with it! I highly recommend this video for everyone at any level!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Valuable Material from a Great Instructor
The Foundations of Back Control by Ante Dzolic
I have the problem Professor Ante describes in the introduction. Back control is all or nothing for me. I either get the tap or, more likely, lose it all. This series provides an excellent framework for launching high percentage attacks in combination while you maintain a dominant position. Ante is a natural teacher who provides simple explanations and excellent physical cues. The instruction style is engaging and punctuated by Ante’s dry humor. Do yourself a favor and pick up this course. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

The No Gi Open Guard Bundle by Lachlan Giles
I love Lachlan's videos. Learned so much. BTW, I know it's easy to get these from a friend instead of buying them, but in my experience, being able to navigate the content and jump back and forth to the spots you want to review, or resume where your left off from another device is a big deal and has actually helped me to get through the many hours of content. Not to mention supporting the guys who we learn so much from. Totally worth every cent.

Understanding The Distance On Top by Gui Mendes
My 9 year old son gets the concepts taught. He learns a little more about balance and hand positioning everytime he watches it. Hee reviews it after training when the techniques donn't work to see what he needs to improve.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Excellent
Precision Foot Sweeps by Steve Mocco
Foot sweeps were not something I trained or used very often when I wrestled and I've never trained/competed in judo. This really helped fill in that gap. There are more than just foot sweeps in this instructional and those segments are gold as well.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:A good instructional to help you improve your side control top
The Roger Gracie Side Control System by Roger Gracie
This instructional covers how to control and attack from side control top. It is taught in the Gi and has a total runtime of 2 hours and 32 minutes. In summary, the attacks taught include: a kimura where you feint a mount attempt forcing the opponent to defend with their far side arm, which provides the opportunity to attack their arm; a lapel choke, using your own Gi, commencing in side control and finishing in a north-south position; the papercutter choke; an opportunistic wristlock; a baseball bat choke; reverse triangle choke with the options for either a straight arm lock, americana or kimura; a step-over triangle choke; and using an initial kimura grip to gain a strong and simple straight arm lock. Positional movements taught include side control to the mount; side control to back control; and using switch base to move to the mount. Roger Gracie notes that different body types lead to preferences in the choice of submission techniques. His advice is to first have good control, stabilise and then attack, which might initially involve progressing the position. He recommends focusing on a limited number of submission techniques and to become very good at these techniques. Roger Gracie speaks clearly and can be easily understood. He is focused on the subject matter, however there is a little playful interaction with his father, who is the uke in this instructional. He presents professionally and provides the necessary detail to ensure that each technique will work reliably. Techniques are taught including the likely responses from the opponent and generally techniques are repeated, but not in all cases. Video (quality including range and focus) and sound are good. The filming is I assume at his academy and there is some occasional background noise of people talking, laughing and what sounds like mat noise from throwing, but it is not intrusive. The instructional appears to have been filmed with a fixed camera. The available previews are consistent with the whole instructional. There is one issue to be aware of and that relates to the fact that demonstrations are not done in a way to fully ensure that you can clearly see all angles, with demonstrations tending to be done front on to the camera. A notable exception to this, is the chapter on using switch base to mount. In summary, in my opinion this is a good instructional to assist in improving your control and submissions from side control top. A select number of effective submissions are taught, which is not a bad thing as it helps when trying to learn, practice and memorise the content. In my experience it is not difficult to stay focused while watching and it is an easy instructional to watch multiple times.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Diverse Range of Armbars
Fundamental Armbar Mechanics by Karel "Silver Fox" Pravec
Silver Fox shows armbars from all sorts of positions. Two signature details that he uses which have stuck with me are the shotgun grip, which he would use every time with juji gatame, and the top lock for bottom armlocks. These two details along and the multiple ways he implements them is worth the price of admission.

Foundations of Guard: Attacking by Mikey Musumeci
Having viewed this instructional years down the open guard journey, I wish I had gotten it sooner. Mikey is a genius when it comes to Jiu-jitsu. breaking down his understanding of Jiu-jitsu into families and worlds make it so much easier to apply the concepts Mikey imparts. If you need some help understanding open guard; this is an essential introduction.
