Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Octavio has been my coach
Effortless Guard Retention & Pin Escapes by Octavio Couto
Octavio has been my coach since white belt. His conceptual approach to BJJ is unique and will carry you through your progression of learning the finer points of BJJ rather than the reverse of that. He’s an amazing coach and if you cannot catch him at a seminar, this series is just as good and reviewable. I’d highly recommend to anyone at any stages of BJJ.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic Instruction

Attacking From Guard Bundle by Gordon Ryan
I love this instructional. Gordon is not p4p for no reason. So far I have only watched the first clip but my game has improved tremendously. I’m so excited to watch the rest of the clips if they are like the first one. Amazing instructional, I highly recommend it.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Footwork leads to favorable positioning
Movement as a Weapon by Stephen Thompson
Stephen Thompson really structures the fundamentals of his style of movement and how others can copy the ideas. He breaks down each technique into the concept that it addresses. The drill exercises and the kicks he does show how to chain together footwork with attacking the enemy.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very informative and well put
Clinch For The Street by Burton Richardson
Very informative and well put together series. I especially like the that Burton reinforces the need to stress test the material and builds into doing so. First class installational series I definitely recommend this.

New Wave Jiu Jitsu: A New Philosophy Of Positional Escapes by John Danaher
Every instructional of John is absolutely brilliant. They are helping me to gain knowledge in every area of jiu jitsu to have a answer for everything when I step on the mat. It is so systemized that you can built skills with a clear path instead of randomly gaining a move here and there. The small details he gives are making a difference after just watching a few seconds of the Clips.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Enjoying it ~ and finding it very practical! A review for relative "beginners"...
Combatives & Street Jiu Jitsu by Dan "The Wolf Man" Theodore
I’m halfway through watching this set now, and I’m most impressed. If you already know Dan, you probably don’t need my review, but if you’re more of a beginner in martial arts, this might help. BTW, this site also offered a significant discount on a next purchase. My experience in self-defense is limited but I have lived as an adult in two very different countries: Australia and over a decade in South Korea. I have some experience in Chidokan karate (modernised Shotokan), with a little in aikido. Others are much more experienced to comment but, from my experience, Dan covers a lot of familiar situations from a practical angle. He might come across too strongly at times on the internet, but I think he’s often grounded with the right perspective if you try to understand where he’s coming from. Dan is talking about fighting and this can involve not-so-pretty scenarios. Why be interested in self defense and how can this set help…?? As a kid, I had a guy with a knife appear and ask me and my friend to come to him. My friend ran off. I froze. Luckily, my father was not far behind me and the guy disappeared. Another time, I beat a young guy trying to fight me 3~4 times using the same judo trip and hold. I guess he picked on me because I appeared weaker than my two friends (true). I think I knew about two other techniques, and he knew none that I saw. One last story: A few years ago, I was in Seoul walking midway down a large road and was suddenly hit hard right in the back of my neck. I originally thought it was a bird, as I had no idea anyone was close to us (and birds hit windows hard?). I spun around with hands raised and saw this older guy. He didn’t seem to be attacking, so I dropped my hands to show I didn’t think he was a threat (partly my bluff) and said some choice language to him. He stared at me, saying, “You’re a Canadian!” I’m half Aussie / Brit. The person I was with didn’t know what had happened but pulled me away and told me after that his language indicated he wasn’t normal. As I turned around after to check where he was, he had struck what appeared to be a classic martial arts stance and said something about being special (or a specialist??). Almost all Korean guys do mandatory armed forces/police services. We kept walking. There are incidents involving foreigners here, of course, in South Korea and eyes can be upon us, even accusingly. This might have been his mindset. I guess this could have been any tourist. Sure, I’m thin, but I’m also average height for an Aussie my age. Last year, we did the same walk, along this “main” city street close to the king’s palace and other tourist areas, embassies, etc. No guy. These events all happened in broad daylight ~ and I don’t even get out much. All situations were completely unanticipated, except for the young guy after I’d fought him the first time. My point here is that our reaction in a real situation can be unexpected (freezing) and that technique can help (judo trips). Although I’ve done some karate, I still wasn’t sure what to do with all the situations that Dan describes. I have successfully not allowed anything else to escalate too much over my lifetime, but karate mainly taught me how to square off for a potential fight, when a situation could suddenly be in your face. Dan addresses this kind of real situation precisely. Sure, we may learn to shout in martial arts but Dan teaches how to avoid, phrases to indicate you don’t want trouble, hand movements to distract, and so on. I can see blends of traditional techniques and perhaps modern interpretation, with other realism, such as avoiding ground with simultaneous restraint and being aware of other attackers and weapons. The result, to me, looks highly effective. I understand Dan may mix systema principles here to good effect, also. There are plenty of reviews and well-trained people who attest to Dan’s experience in the ring, not to mention when we consider his experience in other areas like the security industry. Dan’s work has rung true for them, as it does for a relative beginner like me. Most recommended!!
Response from BJJ FanaticsThanks so much for your detailed review! 🤗A great instructional on side control escapes
Fundamentals of Side Control Escapes by Pedro Sauer
Objective of this instructional The objectives of the instructional include to firstly learn how to survive on the bottom and then learn a broad range of escapes from side control, scarf hold and reverse scarf hold. With the escapes taught in this instructional, there is an emphasis on the importance of learning to use your legs (i.e., paraphrasing the Professor - be like an animal that uses all of its limbs rather than predominately relying on your arms) and understanding the mechanics of the escape. Professor Pedro Sauer also discusses elements of his philosophy of Jiu Jitsu, particularly as it relates to encouraging longevity and recognising that as you age you will not be able to rely on your strength to defeat your opponents. Contents Volume 1 (49 minutes and 8 chapters including the introduction) covers: advice on an approach to your Jiu Jitsu to allow you to grow old while continuing to train (e.g., be playful, understand the mechanics of techniques, share knowledge, teach, be challenged and be creative, let your body be soft and accommodate your opponent’s body, understand Jiu Jitsu including the basics, fight for the next move, etc); staying comfortable while on the bottom in side control by correctly positioning and engaging your body, noting that there is some particularly good advice in this section; upper and lower framing against the opponent; and four escapes from cross-face are taught. The escapes strongly rely on using your legs and one ends with re-guarding your opponent, another with a mount and two techniques finish with submissions. The first escape taught (i.e., Shoelace hook guard recovery) is a reliable low energy escape that I think will really help many people that are currently struggling with side control escapes. Volume 2 (48 minutes and 17 chapters) covers: escapes from cross-face (x 13 techniques); wrestlers pin (x 2 techniques) and the position where the opponent has one hand over your far shoulder and the other next to your inside hip (i.e., blocking your hip, x 2 techniques). Where an escape involves controlling an arm many of the techniques finish with an armbar. Volume 3 (41 minutes and 12 chapters) covers: escapes including variations to escape techniques in response to your opponent’s actions from positions where the opponent has one hand over your far shoulder and the other next to your inside hip (i.e., blocking your hip) or gripping a leg (x 9 techniques) and several counter attacks commencing from side control bottom (i.e., kimura reversal to an armbar, paper cutter choke counter that ends with a wristlock or a sweep ending with a reverse kimura, and a sneaky armbar). Volume 4 (55 minutes and 13 chapters) covers: escapes from scarf hold (x 7 techniques); wrestlers hold (x 1 technique); and reverse scarf hold (x 5 techniques). As with the Professor’s Mount instructional, picture and sound quality are good. A single camera has been used and the range is excellent, as you are close to the action and can easily see the details of the technique. The available previews are consistent with the whole instructional. Professor Sauer is clearly very knowledgeable. As with what I experienced with his Mount instructional, the Professor’s instructions and demonstrations are clear. The Professor’s style is engaging and he maintains a good pace throughout the instructional. As is the norm with BJJ instructionals the techniques are repeated multiple times with different angles. In summary, in my opinion this is a really worthwhile instructional. I own several side control escape instructionals and this would be equal first with the John Danaher’s Pins instructional as it relates to the topic - side control escapes, noting that the Pins instructional covers more than just side control escapes. Professor Pedro Sauer shares and emphasises the details that make his techniques work. The techniques in this instructional don’t rely on strength, but rather angles, connections, leverage and the use of your legs. The techniques that I have learned from this instructional work. The total length of the instructional is 3 hours and 13 minutes long.
Response from BJJ FanaticsThanks so much for your detailed review! 🤗Better than this for kids, unlikely
Kidz Jiu-Jitsu Headlock Escapes by Firas Zahabi
It is very hard to find material better than this for kids. Prof. Zahabi teaches MMA to the top in the MMA world today, and so to have him focus his attention on kids' self-defense is a very special gift. For those who have seen his teachings, you will not be surprised that the content is excellent. I have a boy and two girls. When I saw that Prof. Zahabi had put this together, I bought it right away...

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Sneaky must have
The Scarf Hold The Soul Stealer by Henry Akins
Epic video. Professor Atkins kept speaking on how little adjustments made your opponent/ training partner feel like they were drowning on dry land. He couldn’t be more right. Lessons were very well thought out. (As a white belt I know nothing) Kesa Gatami is now my go to. With very little understanding I’m tapping higher level belts.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Very slick
Fundamental Armbar Mechanics by Karel "Silver Fox" Pravec
I love the Silverfox’s smooth technique. From what I have seen so far he shows very good details. However, parts of it seem to be more difficult to implement than I thought. E.g I would have loved to see a few more entries to the split guard. Initially I wanted to give him 4 stars but this would not have been fair
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great video
Leglocks: Enter The System by John Danaher
Great video
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Timeless Concepts
Timeless Kimura by Rafael Lovato
This is an extremely detailed explanation of a key Ude Garami (Kimura) concept for particularly side control. Like all good techniques it not only details the actual finish but also the minute details important when dealing with ‘bruisers’ eg the insertion of the fingers inside the opponent’s closed fist on the belt and subsequent grips ie thumb out. Sad for me as an old style Kosen Judo guy to see this excellent presentation when compared with some of the Judo presentations on the same topic. Could be an adjunct to Side Control. I particularly relate to the careful positioning and then the explosive action (and what to do if that doesn’t work!!). Simply first class! 😀😀
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Tremendous
Kimura Hunting by Kazushi Sakuraba
Don’t be dissuaded by Sakuraba using a translator or by Craig Jones being there. It actually adds to it. I feel like hearing everything get translated allows for better absorption. It almost feels like being at a seminar with them with Bernardo and Craig asking questions and proposing different scenarios for Saku to problem solve.
