A comprehensive and high quality instructional
Ultimate Choke Escapes by Henry Akins
Objective of this instructional The aim of this instructional is to improve your ability to defend/escape chokes (i.e. to survive) with the added benefit of not wasting energy and ultimately making you more comfortable and confident in your grappling. Content Volume 1 (52 minutes) covers in summary, escaping/defending the cross collar choke (from closed guard top & mount bottom), the push-pull choke (attacking from closed guard top and defending from closed guard bottom), the Ezekiel (closed guard bottom), nut-cracker (from closed guard top), and head and arm choke (from side control bottom and mount bottom). Volume 2 (48 minutes) covers in summary escaping/defending the triangle (closed guard top), clock choke (turtle), and rear ***** choke including when you have been flattened. The rear ***** chokes escapes are so simple and impressive. Volume 3 (1 hour) covers in summary, escaping/defending the darce when either under or on top of your opponent, anaconda (from turtle), guillotine (from the knees and closed guard top) and chinstrap choke (from turtle). Volume 4 (49 minutes) covers in summary escaping/defending the papercutter (side control), bow and arrow (back and side control), bulldog (while on all fours), and guillotine (from standing). In addition, there are two additional chapters taught by one of Henry Atkin’s black belts (Matt Jones) dealing with escaping the baseball choke when passing an opponent’s closed guard, from knee ride bottom and from an attack when standing. This instructional is presented in a relaxed manner and utilises two black belt ukes. Henry Atkins demonstrates the techniques, provides clear instructions, and also provides a discussion around each technique. The pace is good. As with the other Henry Atkin instructionals that I have purchased I found it easy to stay engaged with the content. Sound and picture quality are good, however the video quality of the two bonus chapters dealing with escaping the baseball choke is poor. The angles of the technique displayed are appropriate. The total length of the instructional is 3 hours and 29 minutes long and it is comprised of 37 chapters. Clearly it is important to be able to escape chokes quickly and effectively, as they are such a common form of submission. This instructional is taught in the GI and would have to be the most comprehensive instructional on escaping chokes. The techniques are impressive - simple and effective. The only surprise is that triangle chokes are dealt with in two chapters, one dealing with a situation where the triangle has yet to be locked and relies on a postural response to defeat the opponent and a second technique that is described as a last ditch defence when the triangle has been locked. In summary, this is an excellent instructional and is a worthwhile addition to your instructional library if you wish to improve your ability to defend/escape chokes.

Tarantula Guard by Dominique Bell
I love collar spider and this instructional filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge. The instructional included really great options on how to guard pull to the position, all the well known and lesser known sweeps and submissions from the positon depending on your opponents positioning and lots of details on each.

Burton Richardson teaches from many ranges and diciplines to bring a concepts and philosophy of self defense and awareness that can be added to sport grappling knowledge.

Brutal Catch Wrestling Leg Riding and Hammer Locks by Joel Bane
Coach Joel Bane has a concise and conceptual way of explaining concepts from CACC, as well as every grappling art he studies and competed in. This video in particular was a pure CACC concepts video, but Coach Bane can teach hybrid or focused attention on CACC, Judo, or BJJ. This and any future videos from Snake Pit U.S.A would be a goldmine of information for interested students of all grappling arts.

Self Mastery: Solo BJJ Training Drills by John Danaher
First and foremost I just wanna to thank the BJJ Fanatics team for providing such a valuable product for FREE!!! In the spirit of full disclosure, I don't practice BJJ...yet, but my daughter does. This program has enabled me to help her extract more value from the warm-ups she was already mindlessly doing. I watched the entire program and was completely absorbed in the master teaching that was being delivered. I have an even greater appreciation for the art and sport of BJJ and expect to make this a part of my lifestyle soon.

Self Mastery: Solo BJJ Training Drills by John Danaher
John Danaher teaching makes even solo drills sound interesting! In my gym nobody explains how to properly move, instead focussing mostly on guard passes and submissions. As a 1y white belt, i felt that I had to develop even the most basic survival skills by trial and error while rolling. Danahers training material has been an eye opener for me in regards as how to move defensively! Only thing that I miss: he explains the concept of shadow-grappling, however for beginners, a straight build-up in the form of a simple program to focus on during the covid situation would have been great!(x reps of drill y)
This stuff is fire
Leg Lock Anthology: 50/50 by Lachlan Giles
Honestly this is the best leg lock system, I have played a inside position leg lock game for a while but since studying this DVD I have transferred to an outside game with leg entry’s, as a blue belt that’s 62kgs I have tapped out a lot of higher ranks and heavier dudes in hard sparring. I 100% recommend you buy this instructional if you are wanting to learn leg locks or even if you already know them there is so much information in this.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Pavel Gold
Kettlebell StrongFirst by Pavel Tsatsouline
The Simple & Sinister and breathing segments of the program are worth their weight in gold alone. I've been practicing those and other Pavel programming for several years and, at nearly 70 years old, my strength, fitness and ability to perform the sports I enjoy -- downhill and cross-country skiing, mountain and road biking, hiking and ping-pong -- continues to improve. Add in the more advanced BJJ focused elements and you have a recipe for long-term strength, fitness, and performance.

The guard Retention Anthology: Around and Under by Lachlan Giles & Ariel Tabak
I’ve just finished watching volume one and the other night tried bringing in some of the concepts into my open guard. I am 72kg bluebelt and get a lot of pressure from pretty much everyone (above and below in belt) because they are stronger and heavier. This has made a difference to my game already in that I am using my strongest set of muscles to control the game and the other night had great success with it. granted I got smashed the next training session after that but seen that I can work so will keep at it. Thanks to the team for putting this together. It looks like this 40yr old might have a few more tricks to learn.....
Response from BJJ Fanatics:+1::skin-tone-2::hugging:A must have instructional
Buzzsaw Passing: Gi by Andrew Wiltse
This is one of the best instructionals BJJ Fanatics has produced so far. Andrew is humorous, quick paced, and doesn't waste time showing the move more times than you need. You see a couple of different angles and a full speed demo. For that reason the amount of information presented here would take some other instructors multiple sets to cover. The details here are unique and the grip fighting details on the first dvd are worth the price of admission alone.

A must have for any BJJ street and self defence enthusiast!
Combatives & Street Jiu Jitsu by Dan "The Wolf Man" Theodore
This instructional by Dan "The Wolfman" Theodore is an absolute essential to my collection to round out my street and self defence knowledge. The concepts and techniques which are clearly demonstrated and discussed by Dan, touch on a wide variety of martial art disciplines that aren't necessarily taught in the academies syllabus. I couldn't reccomend this enough, a fantatsic instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Must-have for MMA Practitioner.
The Progressive Guard For MMA by Fabricio Werdum
Among the sea of BJJ instructional tapes, this is one of those must-have gems for any BJJ practitioner with a MMA or self-defense mindset. A great sequence of techniques from who I consider to be one of the best MMA submission artists.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:True value lies on how it reflects your lifestyle: you can also do what the best does.
Getting Swole As A Grappler by Gordon Ryan
Simple body building exercises and methods you may already know for ages. Simple cooking recipes that you may already did yourself when you were 7. And that's it, the true value of this dvd set ! it can somehow reflects YOURSELF ! and it is absolutely motivational ! You can see how the life style of an elite athlete, probably best in the world at the moment, is so familiar to that life style of yours. What kind of exercises he does, you too also can absolutely do, what he eats is so similar to what you also eat everyday to fuel your athletic goals. Why dont you just push yourself a little bit more, so that one day you too also be able to reach to the top ? Many thanks to Gordon, Nathalia and also BJJFanatics for bankrupting my bank account with your overly valuable instructional dvds, cant stop buying from you guys !
