Amazing Video. You won't Regret It.
The Half Guard Anthology by Lachlan Giles
This is an amazing video with so much content. It's not just half guard, but also lots of leg stuff (I especially like the single leg and modified X guard sections). I have already incorporated these into my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Potentially the key to improving your closed guard
Utilizing Underhooks & Overhooks From Closed Guard by Mason Fowler
This closed guard instructional teaches how to break down your opponent and then using your arms (i.e., utilising underhooks and overhooks to ultimately clinch the opponent chest to chest) and in conjunction with your legs to restrain your opponent, which provides the opportunity to either sweep or submit them. In some situations where the submission fails Mason Fowler teaches how to take the opponent’s back. Further into the instructional a series of rubber guard techniques are taught to again restrain the opponent in a compromised position to facilitate the application of submission techniques. The instructional is taught in the Gi and has a total runtime of 2 hours. In my opinion closed guard bottom position only works well for most people if they can break down the opponent and then successfully hold them chest to chest to enable the application of appropriate submission techniques. This approach can work well, even if the opponent is stronger or larger. Space in the closed guard bottom position is your enemy and this instructional teaches you how to firstly remove this space, hold the opponent close and select a relevant submission or sweep. As shown in this instructional Mason Fowler is an effective instructor. He speaks and demonstrates clearly. Demonstrations are repeated from different angles. Problems or likely opponent reactions that maybe encountered when using techniques are identified and solutions discussed. Mason Fowler is focused on teaching each technique including all the necessary details and there is no unnecessary banter. In my opinion the techniques are effective, not overly complicated and don’t require you to be particularly athletic or flexible (note his recommendations when using the rubber guard). A technique highlight is an effective way of finishing a tight triangle (Vol. 3 Chapter 2). Video (quality including range, lighting and focus) and sound are good. If your closed guard is not working well or you wish to improve, then I would recommend purchasing this instructional to add to your instructional library.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Some great dumbbell movement ideas.
10 Top Dumbbell Movements by Jason Khalipa
Not exactly a workout program but it has some great dumbbell ideas to build explosiveness and form demonstrations to incorporate into your current program. Would like more ideas on pulling movements as the video mostly consisted of pushing movements. Video is free, short and to the point, great video and audio quality. Like Jason Khalipa said, have fun with this one!

Middle Aged BJJ 2: No Gi by Tom DeBlass
As an newly crowned old guy (I'm 40), I approve of this video. Definitely focused on old guys and not just general technique. Tom Deblass presents it well. I love deep half guard so I like seeing that in the video.

Submissions From Everywhere by JT Torres
It’s JT Torres - his competition resume speaks for itself. Great presentation style and solid overall instructional. I’ve also got his ‘No Gi Fundamentals Bottom Game’ and that is just as good.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Train smart, not hard
Systematically Attacking The Guard by Gordon Ryan
I can only train on average 2-3 days per week due to work and parenting commitments. However, I have spent more time watching Gordons and Danahers instructionals than I have in mat time, and tbh have seen a massive improvement on the mats having studied these. Its not about training hard anymore, it really is about training smart.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great

This has improved my defense
The Pillars of Defense: Pin Escapes - Defensive to Offensive Cycles by Gordon Ryan
This has improved my defense pretty drastically. I’ve bought more of Danahers than Gordon’s since I do more Gi than NoGi, I was a little skeptical if Gordon’s instructionals would apply but surely enough everything has been a game changer.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great overview of De La Riva guard!
De La Riva Fundamentals by Danny Stolfi
I'm pretty new to de la riva and needed a guide to kickstart my understanding of the guard. Danny's instructional has given me plenty to chew on for a while. The techniques are clear and he covers why and when you would choose certain techniques over others. I've found success with reviewing two or three techniques at a time, then trying them out in practice to have multiple options to attack with. I would recommend this to anyone without much de la riva knowledge who is looking to speed up their progression.
