The Building Blocks of Bottom Half Guard by James Finizio
Been traveling the east coast the last 5 years, and I’ve come across some really awesome coaches but nothing compares to James and his approach to teaching… this instructional is really awesome and I’m so glad to be able to (re)learn some of super useful techniques James has up his sleeve. I recommend this instructional to anyone at any level. Regardless of where you’re at in your Jiu jitsu journey, this will improve your game!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent Instruction
The Building Blocks of Bottom Half Guard by James Finizio
As a beginner, I found the instruction very thorough and easy to understand. As the title states, James really does break things down into easy to comprehend building blocks. In addition, the video quality and sound of the videos are excellent!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻De La Riva Foundations
The De La Riva System Part 1: The Foundation by Mikey Musumeci
Great aproach to De La Riva Guard foundations, covering situations when the opponent has shoulders forward and is attacking both with Toreando grips or Collar grip. Musumeci teaches not only what to do, but also why.

Grappling With Yoga by Josh Stockman
I am one of those grapplers who didn't focus on stretching and flexibility. I would find my self in position that were not dangerous or tap worthy. but because I was not flexible I would tap because of discomfort and the possibility of injury. This video combo of a BFF and yoga is an important video to avoid injury.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Very helpful with takedowns, defense and grips
Guide To Not Pulling Guard by Alan Shebaro
Being a white belt I found this video very helpful. Alan Shebaro really breaks down the Techniques and explains in detail why and how it should be done. I really enjoyed the grips portion. When I first started I found myself lost and confused about what grips I should have. This video has me on the right track now. The details of how to break grips and what grips are ideal for the situation helped me a-lot. I highly recommend this video for takedowns and how to Defend them.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic level of detail- there should be more like this!
The Art of The Spin Kick Volume 1 by Raymond Daniels
Big point to pick up on here: why are there not more instructionals that go into this level of detail for a particular strike? Raymond tells you everything you need to know about this particular kick, whereas so many instructionals will be spend 2 minutes briefly demonstrating how to throw a roundhouse kick, before moving on to something different- I want to see more instructionals like this! Raymond is a great teacher, and if you've seen his fights you'll know that his spinning attacks are outstanding- I'd thoroughly recommend this one.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great techniques and very helpful.
Attack Wrestling for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by John Thomas
One of the many great attributes to his style of teaching is that you can tell he still remains a student and maintains that mindset. When he’s demonstrating a technique he will often mention that he used to perform it this way but now since the art and defense of the technique has evolved, he now has adapted it to be more effective. I also find his way of teaching and explaining various techniques and strategies to be simple to follow coming from a beginner level. All around great instructional!

Self Mastery: Solo BJJ Training Drills by John Danaher
Being new to jujitsu I have felt the limiting factor is not mental learning but rather mobility, training the body to do new things, rather than training the mind to think new things. This resource has allowed me to drill at home and prep my body for future learning.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Essential Half Guard
The Building Blocks of Bottom Half Guard by James Finizio
James provides a very practical framework for understanding halfguard. Broken into a few smaller positions inside of halfguard itself, James provides movements and techniques to move up the hierarchy of positions as well as different attacks and sweeps from each area. One thing that James shows that is unique to his material is some very specific techniques from disadvantageous positions on bottom that can make all the difference against a skilled or larger opponent. The video is recorded well, the audio is fantastic, and the techniques are excellent. The material is presented very thoughtfully and there is no fluff in any of the instruction. This is essential watching for any beginner, and there are some fantastic techniques/concepts for better understanding linking upper and lower body movements for more advanced practitioners.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Control, submissions and transitions from side control (long Review)
The Daisy Fresh Side Control System by Andrew Wiltse
In this instructional (taught in a Gi) Andrew Wiltse teaches how to effectively control an opponent being pinned in side control; a side control submission series, often involving the use of the opponent’s lapel; several transitions to the mount and back; for the more common side control submissions he also highlights some of the important details that are often overlooked; and throughout the instruction he discusses his thought processes when planning an attack from a specific position. The instructional runs for 2 hours 4 minutes and consists of 22 chapters. Vol 1 (27 minutes) teaches how to hold the opponent in side control, scarf hold, and knee on belly (full and half knee). Andrew Wiltse highlights the need to focus on actively pressuring your opponent, including isolating and controlling their nearside arm before thinking about submitting them. The format of Vol 1 is appropriately a discussion with demonstrations around the topic rather than technique A step 1, 2, 3 etc. Vol 2 (36 minutes) teaches multiple methods to isolate the opponent’s nearside arm; several ways to transition to the mount; how to safely and effectively open the far side lapel as a prelude to controlling their far side arm; how to catch, trap and pin their far side arm within their own lapel; how to perform a Ezekiel choke, described as the Super Ezekiel using the opponent's lapel with two variations, one where they withdraw their far side arm from the wrapped lapel and another where this arm stays within the wrapped lapel; and a wristlock when the opponent’s far side arm is trapped and controlled using their lapel. Vol 3 (30 minutes) teaches a step over armbar where the opponent’s arm has firstly been temporarily trapped using their leg or using your arm and a triangle version of the armbar with the option to use this entry for a triangle choke; a triangle armbar or triangle choke where the entry involves raising and manipulating the opponent’s body; an option to open the opponent’s lapel and pull the lapel up behind their head, which results in raising the opponent’s head off the mat and opens a range of submissions including a cross collar choke or a bravo or darce choke, if they defend the cross collar choke; a transition to the back through the use of the opponent’s lapel pulled behind their head to lift, access and take their back; and the last chapter covers the bread cutter-choke. Vol 4 (31 minutes) teaches how to develop and maintain good levels of shoulder pressure on the opponent, including how to choke them by just using your shoulder pressure, or transitioning to the head and arm choke or using the threat of a shoulder pressure choke to assist in transitioning to the mount; how to do a tight spinning armbar with information on how to deal with the opponent’s counters; a kimura when the opponent is pulled up onto one shoulder, a version with an unusual entry that uses your leg to hook behind their head and raise their body, a version involving sprawling your body and raising their shoulder off the mat and this chapter includes information on how to deal with kimura counters; and the last teaching chapter provides an overview, incorporating lots of good details of the Americana from side control. Andrew Wiltse is a confident and knowledgeable instructor. He is easy to understand and occasionally likes to slip in a bit of colourful language. He clearly demonstrates and fully explains each technique. As is the norm techniques are repeated and he ensures that the important details are highlighted. The order of content of this instructional is logical and flows well. Overall, the range, quality of the vision and sound is good. A single fixed camera has been used and the range of the camera is good. The available previews are consistent with the whole instructional. Overall, if you are interested in improving your control from side control and perhaps wanting to develop your side control submissions and transitions to take advantage of the option to control the opponent’s far side lapel and incorporating this lapel control into your submissions then this is a good instructional to purchase. As a bonus Andrew Wiltse also teaches a range of submission techniques that don’t involve the opponent’s lapel and even if you know these techniques (i.e., the material covered in Vol 4) then this instructional may assist you to review, improve and refine these techniques.

Breaking Legs and Breaking Hearts by Garry Tonon
amazing
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻This is one of the best wrestling instructionals on this site.
Movement Made Easy by Jordan Oliver
The content is not like your usual wrestling/takedown instructional where they mainly just go through the finishes to a move. JO goes through aspects of wrestling not often explicitly taught, and yet make a huge difference; footwork and movement. He also has a very clear way of explaining things, which I find helps a lot. Learning this has improved my leg attacks greatly and I just wish my high school coach taught me this years ago!

The Headhunter Guillotine Series by Neil Melanson
Unfortunately due to Covid lockdowns I have not been able to train. So I got Neil’s head hunter series as guillotines are a weak point of mine. So far it’s easy watching but more importantly it’s reasonably basic to understand. Hopefully we get back on the mats soon so I can put some into practice!

Guide To Not Pulling Guard by Alan Shebaro
I got the privilege of training with Coach Shebaro and can say from first-hand experience his techniques show how to apply jujitsu in the world of real application not just based on sport. Pulling guard in the real world can have serious negative consequences.. He approaches how to manage the situation and take someone down which will expand everyone’s game. This is an excellent knowledge set that will benefit everyone who views.

Good introduction to leg locks. Watching this allowed me to understand other lengthier instructional. Covered heel hook, ankle lock, calf slice, knee bar, toe hold, aoki lock and introduced entries from back step, kani basami, inversion entries, reverse x, elevation to exotic moves like imanari rolls and tornado sweep to saddle. Well thought out!

Brutal Catch Wrestling Leg Riding and Hammer Locks by Joel Bane
I've been training BJJ for just on 3 years, and in the last year or so have discovered Coach Bane's videos and seen some of his techniques. This video is phenomenal. Superbly efficient techniques with extreme attention to detail. Nothing is rushed through, and after trying some of these out with partners can personally attest to the pain and efficiency of them. Hoping we see a lot more of Coach Bane on BJJ Fanatics. Absolutely brilliant. Must have.

This is by far the best instructional for the money on BJJ Fanatics. Fernando Yamasaki goes into detail about grip fighting and teaches some very good ashi waza techniques. I hope Sensei Yamasaki makes more instructionals of this caliber.
