Sweep The World by Leonardo Saggioro
Great sweeping techniques, mostly from half-guard. It's useful even you are a bigger guy, really makes sense if you familiar to Bernardo Faria's game.

Passing the Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
Great instructional on passing the guard. Goes very in depth on techniques and always goes into theory of why we do what we do.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Best no-gi half guard instructional out there
Systematically Attacking From Half Guard by Gordon Ryan
I bought this instructional with a specific purpose: to improve my no-gi half guard game having trained predominantly in the gi so far. This instructional was perfect. It is conceptual but rich in techniques, and will give you lots of attacking options against aggressive and stalling top game players. My only reservation is that you may also need Gordon’s seated guard instructional to get the most out of this one, as some techniques are covered in greater detail there. Highly recommended nonetheless.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very good
They Shall Not Pass by Gordon Ryan

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻An excellent instructional on the rubber guard ***(Long review)***
Rubber Guard: The Meathook by Brandon McCaghren
For me the noticeable thing about this instructional is the calm and thorough instruction provided by Brandon McCaghren. He clearly provides the detail of each technique, explains “the why” of a technique and stays on point (i.e., there is very little unnecessary banter). I noticed from watching several different rubber guard instructionals that Brandon McCaghren highlights important details that some other instructors did not. The material taught follows a logical and sequential structure. For each chapter he teaches the technique and for some techniques the variations. At the end of each chapter in a form of summary he repeats the technique that has just been taught. The instructional runs for a total of 2 hours and 47 minutes and comprises of 46 chapters. The instructional has been filmed with a fixed camera. The quality of the video is good with the range and focus being appropriate. Sound is clear and there are no issues with the microphone. As is often the norm demonstrations are provided from different angles, so it is easy to see the required detail. If you are interested in the rubber guard, then in my opinion this is a must buy instructional. It will help you understand and advance your knowledge of the rubber guard system and in particular the use of the meathook and carni positions. Brandon McCaghren’s teaching is excellent. Importantly I would suggest that even if you are not particularly interested in the rubber guard this instructional would still be worthwhile purchasing, as it will open your eyes to the possibilities (or threats) of the rubber guard. The uke generally never gets a mention but, a big thank you to Placido Santos for your efforts and the obvious pain you went through in the making of this instructional. The next section of the review gives an overview of the content of this instructional by volume, if this information interests you. Volume 1 (50 minutes and 13 chapters) includes a discussion about the rubber guard; the importance of flexibility including some effective stretches to improve and maintain hip flexibility; several effective ways to move your hip when you are in the guard (using a clinch to control the opponent’s head and posture) ending in the mission control position; techniques to breakdown the opponent’s posture; the initial progression of the rubber guard (i.e., obtaining mission control, using the zombie to move to New York, and to chill dog); and the second half of the volume covers the omaplata sequence from chill dog, including dealing with the likely responses from the opponent. In the final chapter the sorcerer submission is taught. I think this has to be one of the nastiest submissions possible i.e., simultaneously armbaring both arms of the opponent at the same time as also applying a neck crank. Finally, a key point from Volume 1 is the importance of body angle (i.e., being on your side) when doing the rubber guard, as this makes it easier for less flexible people. Volume 2 (42 minutes and 11 chapters) includes an introduction to the meathook position, which combines being on your side, your leg over their shoulder and the same side arm to secure your opponent; gaining, controlling and retaining the inside space from the meathook position; a series of entries into the meat hook position from the butterfly, lockdown and Z guard; how to appropriately clear the opponent’s head so that you can move your foot to the inside side of their head in preparation for several submissions; and the last three chapters cover submissions (i.e. Gogo clinch and Gogoplata) and an entry to other submissions using the Gogo launch. Volume 3 (43 minutes and 12 chapters) includes a very tightly controlled triangle choke commencing from the meathook position; a potential shoulder lock if the opponent defends the triangle; a shoulder lock from the meathook position when the opponent attempts to punch you; a neck crank commencing from the meathook position; the carni position finishing with a shoulder lock; from the carni position a wristlock; a roll from the carni position in response to the opponent rolling; a sweep from the carni position; a technique from the carni position called the contortionist submission where the opponent’s leg is controlled and stretched until they tap; a heel hook from a carni sweep; from the carni position the monoplata shoulder lock; and the oprah hook position, as an alternative to the carni in limited situations. Volume 4 (32 minutes and 10 chapters) teaches the rubber guard from the mount (top). The entry into the techniques initially involves the opponent on the bottom reaching upwards with both arms to grab and pull themselves up underneath the person on top. This reaction is not what you would typically expect from a student in a BJJ school, but may be experienced in scenarios that involve the risk of striking.
Triangle Masterclass
Triangle Masterclass by Rodrigo Cavaca
I was trash with my triangle attempts, I would try other moves even if a triangle was present. Now, I start with triangle attempts and finish with them and i'm a threat when you enter my closed guard. Thank you Master Cavaca!

Effective Wrestling For Gi Jiu-Jitsu by Adam Wheeler
Thanks Adam Wheeler. The moves taught in this instructional fit well with what my coach has already taught me over the years. With clear and concise instruction from you, I was able to watch the 1st chapter and then hit the same moves on most of my training partners on the 1st lesson I attended after studying this instructional.

Connected Reaction Second Guard (Defense and Escape from Side control) by Paul Schreiner
If you are a serious about your study of Jiu-Jitsu, I can only recommend Paul's instructional videos. The depth of his knowledge and his capacity to share it clearly makes him in my opinion one of the best instructors around.

How to Pass Guards Quickly and Easily Using Leg Attacks by Craig Jones
I've only started adding leg locks to my game. I am more of a guard passer so playing around with leg entanglements and using them to pass the guard has been quite fun. Hopefully I can pull off some these moves on Craig's older brother.

The Complete Butterfly Guard by Marcelo Garcia
Great information. I was literally doing EVERYTHING wrong when attempting to utilize the butterfly guard. The instruction was great and Marcelo presents it very understandably. After watching all 4 discs twice I took it to the gym and was using it like I had been doing it for a year. No more pancakes by bigger guys. Great to have in the arsenal.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Absolutely Brilliant!
Combat Sports Ground and Pound by Mick Hall

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The Art of Becoming a Muay Thai Champ
The Art of Becoming a Muay Thai Champion by Petchdam
I thoroughly enjoyed this instructional based on the fact that not only is it unique to southpaws but it delves into tricks of the craft for entries but safeties close range and in the clinch. No your ordinary Mauy Thai instructional and will open your eyes to better offense and defensive southpaw tactics in the ring.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great series

The Essential Shin To Shin System by Shawn Williams
Have really enjoyed this DVD. Nice flow and camera angles. Easy to listen to.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Absolutely unbelievable!
The Ultimate Rubber Guard by Eddie Bravo
This feels like the Kung Fu novels I read growing up in Taiwan (China) where some down on his luck guy stumbles upon an ancient scroll in a cave that explains a secret style and the man returns to rule the land :smiley::smiley: To have the inventor and master of the entire 10th Planet system go over all of the specific details? Priceless!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Nothing but top notch content from Paul Schreiner
Connected Reaction Armlocks and Spiral Armlocks by Paul Schreiner
Paul Schreiner is the type of Coach that immediately adds value to the portion of your game that he is teaching you. It goes without saying that the quality of Paul's instruction is at the very top of the food chain, but to get someone that can convey details and concepts that immediately change your game is a rarity, especially through a video instructional. Even as a black belt with over a decade of experience I gained new knowledge and focus that allowed for my armlock game to thrive against quality opponents and training partners. This is a must own if you want to improve your armlock game!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great triple threat combo!

Gracie Tampa South Intro BJJ Curriculum by Matt Arroyo
I'm lucky enough to train at Matt Arroyo's gym Gracie Tampa South. I watch the intro videos all the time because they are outstanding. Fundamentals and the small details make all the difference and these videos really help remind me of what I'm doing right or what I'm doing wrong. Highly recommended!

Side Control Savagery by Kyle Sleeman
Side control is my favorite position to maintain control and attack from so it was a no brainer to get this. Professor Sleeman showed me how little I actually knew, but how devastating and controlling side control can really be! His positioning and attacks flow so well together that it gives you a go to move for every counter and then also a plan B! With so many details and angles, probably one of the best instructionals I have bought! Highly recommended!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great stuff!

Moves Your Instructor Never Showed You by Malachy Friedman
I've been a fan of Malachy for a while now, I have a couple of his instructionals from another site and his material is innovative to say the least. This instructional has a bit of everything but I would say it's submission heavy which is never a bad thing. There's no filler in this series, Malachy breaks each technique down perfectly giving you what you need to know to start implementing them into your game and I have to say I think every technique in this instructional is worthy of going into your game. I honestly think some of these are genius level. Follow him on Instagram and you'll get a glimpse of what your about to buy.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Since the release of this

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Powerful instructional to surprise your opponent
Cradle of Filth by Neil Melanson
This is a great instructional to add a new set of techniques to your game. Since I've studied this particular course (white belt at that time), I've been able to control, win positions and even submit higher belts (even experimented purple and brown belts) just following the instructions and concepts of coach Neil Melanson. Also the video is very much enjoyable due to the sense of humour of coach Melanson, absolutely a gem. Fully recommended.
