arm bars: enter the system
Arm Bars: Enter The System by John Danaher
He has a system of using the legs to stay on top. Drill over the mount and try to get the arm bars on both sides. Shift your head position.

The Shoulder Pin Guard System by Neil Melanson
The Shoulder Pin Guard System by Neil Melanson
The Shoulder Pin Guard System by Neil Melanson is one of those instructionals that feels different from everything else out there—in a good way. His approach to guard is aggressive, control-based, and focused on tying up the upper body so you can attack with purpose. A lot of people in the community really like how it blends into other guard styles and doesn’t lock you into one rigid system. That said, this isn’t a typical “step-by-step system” like some of the Gordon Ryan instructionals. A common theme you’ll see from others is that Melanson gives you a ton of tools and concepts, but you’ll need to experiment and build what works for your body and game. What stood out: Very unique control-based guard—great for attacking and keeping people stuck. Doesn’t rely heavily on flexibility, but certain positions can favor longer limbs or specific body types. More “toolbox” than strict system, so expect to put in mat time to connect everything. Tons of creative attacks (especially triangles, armbars, and chokes) that most people won’t see coming. At 50, I appreciated that this isn’t about speed or athleticism—it’s about control and making people uncomfortable. But I’ll be honest: this is one you have to work through, not just watch once and suddenly start hitting everything. If you like experimenting and adding unique layers to your guard, this is a great pickup.

Mastering Tomoe-Nage by Shintaro Higashi
Shintaro Higashi is truly amazing. As we continue refining our Advanced curriculum at Next Level Jiu-Jitsu, we’ve been incorporating many of his lessons, especially as most of our classes begin with judo throw sequences within our system. I’m deeply grateful for the knowledge he shares, and I hope to visit his school one day.

Gracie Tampa South Intro BJJ Curriculum by Matt Arroyo
Matt is my favorite instructor on YouTube. So I had to purchase this course. He gives you a very good idea of what he’s teaching in a detailed but not overly wordy manner. He gives a perfect balance of instruction and conciseness. Of all the BJJ basics courses I’ve seen or own, this one is my go to #1 !

Excellent Course from the Best Teacher
Ageless Jiu Jitsu: Winning When You're Older or Less Athletic - Bottom Game by John Danaher
Danaher is the best teacher. This course is exactly what I needed and I’m so happy he created it. His teaching style is engaging and helpful because he gives broad conceptual framing, an understanding of how the moves fit within a broader game-plan, and clear and detailed step by step instructions for each technique. He always provides various camera angles for each technique to ensure the viewer really understands every aspect of each step.
