Never Get Submitted Again by Noel Danforth
As a beginner in BJJ, I feel this instructional will be the most beneficial to me than any other instructional. In my first couple of months in class all I have been doing is trying to get out of submissions. I'm not a natural athlete and I can't "explode" out of escapes so having this knowledge that Professor Noel teaches is invaluable. The techniques shown are clear and concise. I like the fact that Professor Noel encourages questions and comments at the end of the instructional in case something is ambiguous.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Best Nogi De La Riva System
No Gi Open Guard Volume 2: De La Riva & Waiter by Lachlan Giles
Love how systematized this instructional is, and it shows every response for every given scenario you'll find yourself when plying De La Riva! Also gotta love the customer friendly pricing of Lachlan's instructionals!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Escapes from all angles!
Never Get Submitted Again by Noel Danforth
I have now watched both videos several times and every time I watch I learn something new! I also find myself applying the escapes in class. The instructions were clear and accurate. Very informative and easy to understand. Looking forward to more from coach Noel danforth.👍�

Fundamental Jiu Jitsu by Bruno Frazatto
Do you want to learn the basics to transition to advance this DVD would be it
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fantastic instructional - very deailed and nuanced
The Mirroring Principle: The Kings Gambit by Wim Deputter
I absolutely love this instructional as well as all of Wim's other instructionals. This one is the culmination of his pressure passing, mirroring and offensive defense systems. And it all revolves around what he call the "mirroring principle". Give the opponent exactly what he wants until he no longer wants it anymore. And you in general meet pressure with pressure. Wim really breaks down all the postures, fundamental movements and the concepts in great detail. It is because of Wim and Priit Mihkelson highly refined defensive systems, they enable you to start making gambits and take riskier attacks. A gambit as Wim explains is where you sacrifice a piece for structural advantage. The DVD here really highlights how actually nuanced good fundamental jiu jitsu is - and how you can funnel your opponent into your game. He goes over what he calls the Kings gambit (triangle), queen gambit (armbar), and the fool gambit (omoplata). And what is most intriguing is the way he shows how the mirroring principle gives you a pretty solid heuristic for timing and determining what kind of move & energy is appropriate when. A lot of what he teaches is very conceptual but fundamental and thus has a broad range of application unlike more technique specific instructionals. This DVD and his other instructionals really make me feel as though I have a much deeper grasp of Jiu Jitsu though I am only white belt - and the great thing is most other schools have NO IDEA at all about any of these concepts, movements nor postures like the shoulder escapes, baby bridge and scoops. And that been giving me an edge on most everyone.
AMAZING DETAILS

The passing instructional that ties it all together
Understanding The Distance On Top by Gui Mendes
What an amazing instructional in that everything you've learned thus far on passing gets put in context. There are a lot of techniques you can learn from your professor, other instructionals, etc but this is the one that conceptually tie it all together on where everything fits in the puzzle. I also love Chapter 2 that breaks down comp footage, plus "mobility drills" that lets you see how to drill all 3 distances. You can learn the technique of the pass by watching the drills themselves.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Terrific Instruction!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻One of my favorite Teddy Atlas + Kenny Robles videos
Timing: Boxing's Shot Clock For Success by Teddy Atlas
I've bought a bunch of these Teddy Atlas + Kenny Robles videos. I'm not sure which is my favorite, but this one is up there. Disclaimer - I've been a fan of Teddy Atlas for decades, so whatever he says, I'm going to listen in rapt attention. Atlas doesn't just go through the techniques - He is passionate about Boxing, and you'll get a lot here - boxing history, life advice, and an earnest insistence on doing these techniques correctly. Something kind of painful to watch is that Atlas doesn't let Robles off the hook, as they go through the techniques - Not only is Atlas training us, but he's training Robles right there on the spot, and if Robles doesn't do it the way Atlas wants it, they repeat it, sometimes three/four times. Atlas is a master coach (obviously), sometimes explaining, sometimes encouraging, and sometimes getting loud if he thinks it will work. I have kids, and watching this gave me some pointers :) I'm sure Robles knew what he was getting into when making this video, because Atlas does the same thing in other videos. Respect to you Kenny, for hanging in there, and having been willing to be publicly vulnerable throughout this, as part of your quest.

BJJ For Kids: The Journey Begins by Josh Cooksley
I bought this to watch with my daughter who started training about a year ago and it's been great. The explanations are clear and concise and the different levels for the techniques are great to establish the basics before progressing to a higher level. Her performance on the mats have jumped drastically since we started.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻I Don't Always Play Closed Guard, But When I Do... I Prefer Coach Neil's Techniques
The Ground Marshal Guard by Neil Melanson
I bought this instructional about halfway through my first year of training no-gi BJJ. I've always been more comfortable working from top position, but I reluctantly came to admit I had very little in my game when it came to offense from closed guard. Having previously bought instructionals from Coach Neil, if I was going to buy a closed instructional, I knew I wanted to buy his. I admit it took me a little while to warm up to this one. That's not a critique of Coach Neil, it's more representative of the fact that closed guard remains one of my least favorite positions. For me, two of the most valuable parts of this instructional are the body position basics and closed guard breakdown sections. The details Coach Neil provides about optimal posture when you're playing closed guard and how to move your opponent with your lower body are things my coach has only mentioned briefly in class and that I don't see mentioned much in YouTube videos about closed guard. If triangles are your go-to submission from closed guard, you will LOVE this instructional! I'm slowly trying to become more confident with them, and there are definitely a couple of setups Coach Neil shows that I want to try in sparring some time. I also really like the Irish collar section. I enjoyed the YouTube video he has on it, and I was happy to see provides a much more comprehensive overview of the position in this instructional. I'm giving this instructional 4 stars instead of 5 because I would've liked to see Coach Neil cover a sweep or two (I bet he has some pretty cool ones!). However, I suspect that would've meant making other sections shorter or eliminating them completely. Also, I was a bit disappointed by the production value in this one. I'm betting it was released in BJJ Fanatics' earlier years because the production quality doesn't live up to the standard I've come to expect from them (e.g., you can hear the cameraman coughing and opening some sort of wrapper at various points).
Neil is a monster

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Tactical Turtle
Tactical Turtle by Neil Melanson
When I look for instruction videos I look for someone that teaches not only techniques but concepts. If I understand a concept I can apply a bunch of techniques and I can figure those out. All of Neils material is packed with both. Once I started watching his videos my game skyrocketed. Not because I could hit the techniques but I understood the position much better. His ability to deliver information, make it entertaining and give you key points makes it easy to apply on the mat. As Neil would say "stay filthy" and do yourself a favor and pick up any of his videos.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻So worth the money !!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻An excellent instructional on side control top and side control submissions and transitions (Long Review)
Side Control Dominance by Andre Galvao
This No-Gi instructional covers holding and controlling from side control; transitioning to other positions (i.e., knee on belly, north-south, technical mount, S-mount, mount, back and closed guard) from side control and often back to side control; and a broad range of submission techniques from side control or from the positions that you have transitioned to. The submissions taught include versions of the triangle choke, americana, straight armbar, kimura, armlock, head and arm choke, darce choke, wrist lock, north-south choke, guillotine choke, anaconda choke, reverse heel hook and defending a kimura from top side control position. To see the complete list, please review the contents of the instructional. It is important to note that this instructional doesn’t just teach a range of submissions with Volume 1 (approximately 1 hour) dedicated to teaching control from side control top. This incorporates where and how you can direct your weight and pressure to maintain control; how you organise your body to gain and maintain control (i.e. control their head, link your hands together, be heavy with active feet and when to start to transition e.g. to take the back); an understanding of how your opponent can escape from side control; an overview of the different types of side control including north-south; and how to move around your opponent when they are in your side control. As I have experienced with the other Andre Galvao instructionals that I have purchased he demonstrates that he is an excellent and confident instructor. He speaks clearly, is engaging and knowledgeable. His approach is much more than just teaching the mechanics of the techniques. He teaches all the details, the why, the consequences, the likely responses from the opponent and insights into his thinking with the goal to get the submission. So often with instructionals you are told to do the techniques in a certain way, but often without the instructor explaining why. Andre Galvao explains the why which makes it easier to both understand and recall the technique. Techniques are demonstrated at a slow pace, repeated at different angles and towards the end of each chapter at speed. Typically, when discussing submissions Andre Galvao teaches the various options and variations that can be used with the submission. Picture and sound quality are excellent. For completeness there are a couple of occasions where the camera is out of focus for a second or two, but this does not detract from the instructional. 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. The instructional runs for 7 hours 48 minutes and consists of a total of 8 volumes and 46 chapters. In my opinion this is an excellent instructional based on several factors including the content (both broad and detailed); the quality of the teaching; and the quality of the production. While it is taught from a No-Gi perspective the content is still relevant if you train in the Gi.

Upper Body Takedowns For Grappling by Adam Wheeler
Whether you do BJJ, Judo or any striking art, Adam Wheeler has great info in this instructional that will make you a better fighter. My background is Combatives, but have recently concluded my system lacks “completeness”. So I picked this course recently and added it to my training. It is excellent! Instruction is very clear and flows from one throw to another. A great purchase that I’m so glad I made!
