Understanding The Distance From Guard by Gui Mendes
This instructional was detailed and eye-opening. Professor Gui broke down positions from the guard (near, medium, and far distances) and explained concepts on how to approach each situation effectively based on some scenarios. He also gives his personal perspective on his own sparring videos and competition videos of his students displaying concepts/techniques that are in the video.

Systematically Attacking From Top Pins: Mount by Gordon Ryan
Such a good instructional. Really good details about not only getting to mount but maintaining it, as well as finishing mechanics of the submissions from there. The segments about the Arm Triangle as well as cross wrist hand fighting have been worth it for those two segments alone for me!

Half Guard Encyclopedia by Leonardo Nogueira
I think this is an exceptional instructional because the amount of material that it covers, the sublime organisation of the content, and the quality of Leo's teaching. I find Leo’s style thoroughly engaging and enjoyable to learn having previously enjoyed the Sao Paolo passing series. I'll be studying this for a long time as one of my favourite and most essential courses.

Jiu Jitsu for Old Guys: Over / Under Pressure Passing System by Bernardo Faria
Overall a great instructional, a couple of unusual features make it better than average: - Bernardo's feedback on typical difficulties when learning/practicing the technique, and a 'student' (a black belt - learning never ends 8-) ) trying them out. - Showing the techniques from both left and right sides, consistently throughout the instructional.

This instructional was detailed and eye-opening. Professor Gui broke down 3 positions (far, medium, and near distances) and showed effective concepts/techniques on how to approach each position. He used live sparring videos to explain his own thought process of how he applied each concept/technique. He also broke down his student's competition videos on how they used these concepts/techniques.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A top notch closed guard instructional ***(Long review)***
The Roger Gracie Closed Guard System by Roger Gracie
In this instructional Roger Gracie teaches closed guard concepts, guard maintenance and a broad range of submissions, sweeps and back takes. The submissions taught include chokes, armlocks, a kimura, a wristlock, and a knee bar. Sweeps taught cover when the opponent is on at least one knee and when they are standing. The instructional is 2 hours and 34 minutes long. For many BJJ instructionals techniques are taught without sufficient time devoted to teaching how to effectively respond to the defensive reactions of the opponent. Ultimately this approach is unhelpful, as in the real world the opponent will actively respond to your technique, particularly when it is a submission. Roger Gracie takes the pragmatic view that your opponent will be trying to defeat your submission attempt and therefore covers in this instructional how to deals with the reactions from the opponent. A good example is in how he teaches the cross collar choke and incorporates the potential impact of the opponent interfering with your second hand. Additionally, in this instructional he discusses pairing techniques e.g., cross collar choke and the armbar. The logic in this example being as the opponent postures back to avoid the choke and provided you are controlling their forward arm you can move directly to an armbar. Note that the first technique (as listed in the contents) is taught in detail and the alternative submission techniques are shown, but not necessarily taught in the same level of detail. In some situations, the alternative submission technique may be taught in detail in a separate chapter. Roger Gracie speaks clearly and can be easily understood. He is focused on the subject matter and there is no banter. He presents professionally and provides the necessary detail to ensure that each technique will work reliably. He shares his opinion of the various techniques and this I found to be useful (e.g., his pragmatic view about the limitations of the scissor sweep). As noted previously he discusses the likely responses from the opponent and how to respond to these actions. In this regard he teaches not to think of one submission technique in isolation, but to have a plan for multiple submission choices depending on the opportunities available. Roger Gracie generally repeats techniques, however there are a few techniques where he demonstrates the technique once. In my opinion this is not a big issue as you can replay techniques, if necessary. In my view picture quality is excellent and sound quality is good. A single camera has been used and the range is excellent, as you can easily see the details of each technique. The available previews are consistent with the whole instructional. In summary, this is an excellent instructional on the closed guard (Gi). The detail, insights and the approaches shared are really useful and this information has the potential, depending on your level of knowledge and experience to noticeably improve your closed guard game (Gi). The next section of the review gives an overview of the content of this instructional by volume, if this interests you. Volume 1 (46 minutes and 6 chapters) includes an introduction to the closed guard (i.e., first priority to keep the guard closed, your opponent wants to open and pass, they don’t really have many opportunities to attack you from the top and they have to defend against your attacks); there is a discussion on guard maintenance with the aim to make it impossible for your opponent to be able to pass in situations where they have at least one knee on the ground and to make it extremely difficult for your opponent to stand up by breaking their posture and Roger Gracie demonstrates how to effectively break the opponent’s posture and how to respond to the opponent’s movement to deny them angle; the first submission taught is the cross collar choke and as noted previously it is taught in depth and covers how to deal with the opponent’s responses to your attack; the second submission is an overhook collar choke initially paired with a triangle choke, if the opponent blocks your second hand from completing the overhook collar choke, however if they use their elbow to trap your leg, then the third attack taught is an armlock applied to the arm trapped by the overhook and if they defend the armlock they will then be open to an omaplata; and the last chapter revisits the collar choke to discuss optimal choking action and a further examination of how to effectively place your hands on the opponent’s collar. Volume 2 (32 minutes and 6 chapters), the techniques taught include the armbar, noting that Roger Gracie teaches a different approach to applying grips compared to many other instructors and spends some time discussing and demonstrating this approach to controlling your opponent’s posture, followed by locking the shoulder and then finally applying the armbar; how to effectively break the opponent’s posture in advance of an armbar; using the lapel to control th

The Blackout Hybrid Pin and Cradle System by David Petrone
Excellent series. Really gives a great perspective on using the cradle to counter many of the usual things that you encounter when your opponent is trying to recover guard and also gives you nice attacks to use against the butterfly guard. If you are a jiujitsu practitioner that uses the truck this video will show you some extra finishes and ways to get into it. I couldn't recommend this series more as it really gives some great ways to counter the shrimp, etc.... Really great.

If you follow Greg and Wolf Brigade, it should be of no surprise that this video is quality instruction from start to finish. I’ve been swinging hammers, clubs and maces for awhile, but the tweaks in form and build up diagnostic exercises helped me learn that I still wasn’t doing it right. Highly recommend.

The Closed Guard Compendium by Matt Thornton
You cannot go wrong with the SBG Tribe Leader! You learn more in the little "asides" than most instructional video offer in their entire content. The catch, you need to pay attention, practice, and apply! There are no tricks, no three-knuckle earlobe submission guaranteed to submit any opponent. However, you will see improvement in your closed guard and BJJ.
