The guard play Bible. I love this video series!
Understanding The Distance From Guard by Gui Mendes
I'm so glad that Gui Mendes started this series. Having done jiu-jitsu for just over 6 years, I'm growing increasingly interested in the cerebral side of the martial art. Instead of learning the basic mechanics and techniques of moving from point a to b or learning submissions from every possible position, I have gained a love of seeing principles, well taught, which allow me to open up my game so that I can create during a roll, not just try to connect the dots. I've now started seeing the principles in action, when rolling and watching competitions. I had an experience the other day where I was rolling with a good blue belt and suddenly I recognized all the possible options, from a position, at once and successfully navigated the situation to get the tap. It was the first time I've ever felt like I was in that meme with all the math equations floating around me, but I understood it all and the when's and why's. It was amazing. The kind of understanding you get from this instructional will change the way you play and look at guard play. Definitely worth it.

Systematically Attacking the Turtle Position by Gordon Ryan
Another killer instructional Gordon! Thanks for sharing your knowledge man!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Another great expansive building block for an attacking approach to jiu-jitsu
The Straight Armlock Anthology by Lachlan Giles
Lackland Giles is the most technical guy out there. He doesn't have size and strength and he submits the biggest guys competing on the highest level and teaches you how to do the same. His techniques are broken down so well that if you have a question, rewatch the video because it's likely you missed it the first time. I also love the live rolling video after each technique to show you what the techniques look like when actually rolling. You can't go wrong with Lachlan Giles' instructionals.

Learn how to pass half guards
Half Guard Passing and Dynamic Pins: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
Detailed but simple ways to pass most half guards the best way. If you learn any passing style half guard is almost certainly the best overall, so get good at it by knowing exactly what to do. You’ll keep coming back to watch as a reference. The concept of dynamic pinning was also eye opening.

The Pillars of Defense: Pin Escapes - Defensive to Offensive Cycles by Gordon Ryan
Gordon Ryan's instructionals are , hands down, the best, most thorough, and most systematized instructionals on the internet and this one is no difference. He gives so many details, principles, and answers to the endless "what ifs" that come with every jiu-jitsu technique that I have never had someone make me use the last few counters in each of his systems. On a personal note, I'm 44 and started bjj at 38, so I'm not getting any younger. I don't have the ability to train all day with a 55+ hour a week job and kids and I'm so grateful for Mr. Ryan's open-ness with his systems, mentality, and approach to jiu-jitsu. It has been like having a short-cut or cheat code. We are super lucky to have people (along with John Danaher) who have already figured so much of the jiu-jitsu maze out, that we can skip the decades of trial and error they have put in. They could have kept it to themselves like many martial arts instructors and practitioners do. Not only have Gordon's instructionals changed me as a bjj player, but it's made me competitive with the black belts and high level competitors I train with (as a purple belt).
I love everything Wiltse.

If you want to triangle everyone from everywhere
Triangles Enter The System by John Danaher
I would never go for triangles because if you miss it you’re vulnerable to get passed, but I knew it’s such a great tool if you can do it well. After learning all the details of how to really triangle somebody I feel good about shooting trap triangles from bottom. Never knew anything but the front triangle and would botch any rear triangle until this. Strangles are better than joint locks and your legs are more powerful than your arms so why not learn everything about strangling with your legs from John Danaher?
Goes great with his scissor guard video!

New Wave Jiu Jitsu: No Gi Guard Passing by John Danaher
A great series on nogi guard passing. The concepts presented are invaluable. Would recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A champion teaching you how to master the things that make him great
Surf Passing by Eduardo Telles
The first instructional I ever purchased was Telles' first, The Turtle and Octopus guard. I leaned heavily on that series during my first tournament and took double gold in the adult heavy weight white belt division with no wrestling background and no previous grappling experience. In fact, I'd never even rolled without a gi and still won my 3 no-gi matches. All of that was due to Eduardo Telles' instructional. Now, his modern instructionals haven't lost any effectiveness and his teaching has only gotten better and more precise. I love the 2 new series he's put out on Surf Passing and Turtle. Both are easily implemented day one and EASY to watch. He's as gifted a teacher as he is a grappler and I desperately hope he'll do another series on the Octopus guard. So many effective techniques and systems in these instructionals it feels like they should be more expensive to learn a championsship caliber jiu-jitsu game from the master himself.
Great to learn half guard with
The Half Guard Anthology by Lachlan Giles
Lachlan covers the high knee shield half guard really well, with the primary focus on underhook half guard. Very detailed and goes over their reactions. Works gi and nogi. This was the first instructional I ever picked up and got me hooked on them. I think Gordon Ryan’s is better but that’s subjective and much more expensive, so this is a great budget option and compliment to it.
The best offense is never having to play defense.
Attack The attacker by Marcelo Garcia
Marcelo changed the way guard is played by beating guys no one thought he'd beat. Recently we've learned of guys like Craig Jones and Lachlan Giles who came from no where and submitted world renowned grapplers on the biggest stage in the world (ADCC), none of them have had the success that Marcelo had. He became known for his attacking style of guard that made it seem like even the best grapplers were always playing defense against him. In this instructional, Marcelo teaches us how to implement that attacking style to change your game and keep you on the attack especially against guys who are aggressive and coming for you. It opens up your offense and makes you the guy others are constantly running from. This is a guaranteed win.
Attack the whole body from the back
Back Attacks Enter The System by John Danaher
Covers the straightjacket system to trap arms and rear ***** strangle, and some auxiliary systems like the rear triangle/armbar/calf slicer/etc. when you run into problems with the main arm trap system. Covers some getting and maintaining the back as well. Great intro for beginners and shows other opportunities to control and finish from the back that would benefit the more experienced.

The Z Guard Encyclopedia by Craig Jones
Been catching triangles, guillotines, kimuras and armbars from Z guard ever since digging in to this instructional. Can’t recommend it enough, and the same goes for Make Z Guard Great Again, also by Craig Jones. You already know who he is and how good he is, so do yourself a favor and get this one. Hugely informative sections on combining Reverse DLR with Z Guard. Reverse DLR back takes are my new secret sauce. Psssh… Berimbolo, Sherimbolo.

Passing the Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher

New Wave Jiu Jitsu: A New Philosophy Of Positional Escapes by John Danaher
The most high percentage ways to escape the counter from Mount, side, n/s, back, knee on belly. He throws in some of the updated leg lock details compared to his first enter the system instructional. My favorite parts were kipping mount escape to heel hook, getting out of the back triangle, proper side escapes, and psychologically of pin escapes on you and opponents.
