Leglocks Unlocked by Tum Energia
Awesome DVD with great explanation. You can really see the love he has for leglocks when he explains everything, it is calm but also with great passion. I am a white belt with not a lot of experience with leglocks, but I can understand and follow the instructions really well. It is a great DVD and so much worth for your money.

Great content that fits right in to my main judo game, but might not fit everyone as Steven's style of set ups and and throws are his own individual variations.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Systematic approach
Bulletproof Butterfly Guard by John Gutta
Here we see a system of using the butterfly guard, taught succinctly. Gutta chooses all his words carefully in native English. He does not provide unnecessary details, nor does he say too little. For a move, he explains how it is done step by step, what the pitfalls are and why it works. He also explains how opponents commonly react and gives safety tips. It is clearly rehearsed or not the first time he teaches it. Each move comes with two more repetitions, often from different angles. The moves themselves are structured logically into a Part (if-this-then-that), rather than form an arbitrary list. The 4 parts are also logically distinct, rather than just thrown together as in "25% of the content is categorized as part 1, 25% as part 2 etc". I like that. Part 1 (24 min) teaches an effective standard combination. Your opponent can go all-in (Part 2) or flee (Part 3). Part 2 (31 min) starts off from bottom half-guard from where he moves into a smashed butterfly guard, which is the main focus together with its recovery, the double overhook and its submission chain. Part 3 (40 min) also shows a lot of counters to opponents trying to pass your butterfly guard as well as no-gi submissions and arm drags. Part 4 (38 min) is divided into two halves: gi-based sweeps and submissions, and the second half deals with how to bring down standing opponents. He addresses beginners and more experienced persons alike. I have watched butterfly tutorials before, but those did not make this one redundant and I learned many more details. Most techniques would work in no-gi too. The trainer makes sure not to waste your time and because the information is dense, I don't think it is boring to watch it several times. In fact, it would be a good reference. In summary, I do not regret the purchase.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Sakuraba Kimura Hunting
Kimura Hunting by Kazushi Sakuraba
At first I wasn't sure about getting an instructional with a translator but it worked out perfect . I loved the knowledge that Sakuraba shared and everything he showed I had never seen before even though Ive spent countless hours on youtube and watching Bjj instructionals. I couldnt wait to get on the mat and try them out. I wished that Bernardo and Craig would have came with a list or some structure of questions to ask. Instead it seemed like they asked him random things that he had to come up with on the spot and he did a great job but they could have had a list of positions Situations etc and ran them by him before filming so he could answer instead of answering on the fly. I wished they picked his brain more because I know what he showed was the tip of the iceberg. I will definitely be getting more Sakuraba instructionals if they come out and thats coming from someone who already had tons of them from danaher lister etc. Also they could have made the video with labels so i can find certain things he taught instead of forwarding through the videos trying to locate the details of the moves. Sakuraba 5stars :call_me_hand:
Thanks! :)

Front Headlock Submission Mastery by Corey Guitard
I always enjoy learning jiu-jitsu from unrecognized talents such as Corey Guitard, who bring their unique approach to the grappling game. What makes this instructional enjoyable is it focus on concepts of the front headlock while building up various submission options for the viewer to explore. This is a trait missing in many grappling instructional from top competitors. If you are a practitioner looking to build a strong foundation in one of the most common positions, you will find yourself in ( a front headlock), Do yourself a favor and purchase the Front Headlock Submission Mastery by Corey Guitard !!!

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:A fun tutorial on how to mess with people
The Donkey Guard by Jeff Glover
I've been reviewing some of these techniques for a few months now and I will say..........after watching part 1 of this 3 part series, I was convinced that Jeff was teaching some bullshido martial arts. However, I have been wanting to learn how to use Donkey Guard, so I decided to power through it; his "Dirty D'arcing" series made me find my #1 attack, so that helped give him a chance with the rest. During training sessions, I would drill the Ryan Hall entry, Double leg entry, Reverse Mount, and a few others before class started and in the later rounds. Not going to lie, you should get used to holding that position to work your leg and core strength first before getting deep into the techniques and giving up because they aren't working for you at that time. So far, I'm getting more comfortable using it in practice and managed to terrorize one of our guys by chasing them across the mats from the Donkey stance. Overall, I think this is a fun series to learn and showoff to lesser experienced and entry-level grapplers, especially when you are the head instructor of a Jiu-Jitsu club at your university. I haven't had the chance to use it in competition yet for obvious reasons, but I think if you have a little bit of experience with it, it can really psych out your opponent.

Dominating From Side Control by Pete Letsos
I took a chance on this video after loving Pete's Wrist Lock videos so much and I was not disappointed at all! Pete's understanding of body mechanics is outstanding. His explanations of why his techniques are so effective are outlined in a way that makes sense. The emphasis on how to create pressure while preventing opponents' escapes is effective for both BJJ rulesets and self-defense situations. I tried out the techniques in these videos while training and gave everyone so much more trouble escaping my side control or sweeping me. These techniques helped me set up multiple transitions and submissions.

Go Further Faster Bundle by John Danaher
I have bought and watched all of the videos in this series separately. This series is unique because John Danaher goes over all the techniques or the meta game of Jiu Jitsu, particularly fundamental techniques that work frequently in all weight classes, at world championship black belt competition. If you are new in jiu jitsu, you probably will watch IBJJF matches and not understand whats going on. After watching this series you will absolutely understand most everything going on except for berimbolo, crab ride, and lapel techniques and exchanges. Basically this series will make you literate in modern competition Jiu Jitsu. If you are series about BJJ this is an amazing value on sale.

Go Further Faster Bundle by John Danaher
As someone just starting their BJJ training this is definitely helping me go further faster. While it's not layed out in a very intuitive way (or at all?) it definitely serves as a good set of reference material that covers pretty much anything I have a question about. I've found that as I learn one thing from it and then put that into practice that leads me to ask new questions about something related to what I've been practicing and there's usually a video about it to be found somewhere in this course, so I'll go study up on that and rinse repeat. There isn't really a linear path to follow so to speak. Danaher definitely repeats himself a lot but it does a good job of getting it into your skull and he's excellent at providing little soundbites of wisdom that help you remember what the principles are. Sometimes he might spend 30 minutes on something other people spend 5 minutes on, but I tend to walk away with a deeper understanding of what's actually going on and more importantly WHY, and not just "here's a move, you do it like this". He usually gives 3 ~ 4 examples of each move and often from different angles. He makes it all look very easy and you think "oh, yup, so you just do that and then that and then that and that's the move cool... I think I got it" then you give it a try and you realize his 25+ years on the mats make him an old pro at it, and it's definitely not quite as easy as he makes it look. Some stuff I just haven't been able to get yet, but in those cases I've just opted to move on and revisit it later. There are on the order of 64 videos in the whole series, each usually between 60 and 90 minutes. The sheer amount of content is at times overwhelming. On the plus side it'll keep you going for months if not years. Each video I watch I feel an important piece of the puzzle click into place, and It's definitely helping me understand what I should be doing in any given position.
Response from BJJ FanaticsYep, there are a lot of knowledge on those videos! But keep studying, it will all click eventually. :hugging:Long Live the Fat Man

Dismantling The Side Mount by Jeff Glover
I really like this instructional. Mr. Glover shows you his way of controlling side mount and submitting from there. There are some great small details to make your side control much better. I really like the method of using your shins as a windshild wiper in side mount against the opponent´s arms. Mr. Glover is also more a lanky guy like me, so I can really benefit from his ideas.

Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Bernardo Faria
I really enjoyed the stuff in this instructionals. A wide, but not too wide for a novice, variety of techniques with enough, but not too much to be overwhelmed at the start, details. Probably, one can find all of these on YouTube, but the most important added value for me was a clear structure that allows one to start with writing one's game plan right away.
