Submission Arsenal: Closed Guard by Giancarlo Bodoni
This instructional teaches a range of effective submissions from closed guard bottom. The content includes two methods to pull closed guard; a series of armbar attacks (x 5); a cross collar choke including an armlock from the opponent defending the cross collar choke; a series of different triangles/entries to triangles (x 6); two omoplatas ; two monoplatas; a kimura; a loop choke; a reverse armlock; a reverse kimura; and while the opponent is standing a straight armlock, a omoplata and a triangle. OK these are all the normal suspects for closed guard submissions, but what makes this instructional different is the quality of the instruction by Giancarlo. This is the second Giancarlo instructional that I have purchased. I found the closed guard sweeps and back takes instructional to be excellent and based on this experience I purchased the submissions instructional. The closed guard submissions instructional does not disappoint. Giancarlo’s instructions are clear and easily understood. He provides all the little details that make a technique work. Each technique is repeated multiple times so that it is easy to understand what is being done. Techniques are shown from different angles. For me, the highlight of the instructional is the series of triangle chokes. Giancarlo’s approach is such that you don’t have to have long legs to successfully perform a triangle from closed guard. He teaches how to deal with your opponent’s posturing and stacking. The focus is on ensuring that you have sufficient time through defensive means to position yourself so that your legs avoid your opponent’s shoulder and that you can lock your legs in the most optimal position. Sound and picture quality are good. The angles of the technique displayed are appropriate. If you wish to learn a number of effective closed guard submissions or improve and refine your existing knowledge, then this instructional is sure to please. The instructional is 2 hours and 38 minutes long.

Precision Knee Cut Passes by Lucas Lepri
Wow, the details on how to use the knee cut from everywhere are amazing. This is a game changer for me! Going to take some time and reps but will allow you to have an answer for all your opponents counters.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:50/50 gem
The Modern 50/50 Guard by Patrick Gaudio
This is one of the very few 50/50 instructionals out there that is both A) gi-based, and B) focused on the positional aspects of 50/50. Despite how common it is to see 50/50 win big on a yearly basis at IBJJF Worlds, it is rare to find a full-length 50/50 instructional focused on sweeps and passing. Unless you're fortunate to study under a 50/50 guru, most 50/50 players amass this info in a piecemeal fashion: scouting matches, finding 1-2 gems in an random instructional, asking questions at a seminar, etc... For a short set, this is good compendium of popular 50/50 techniques. It also contains several quality techniques not seen elsewhere. It is really helpful as a reference to have all these techniques in collected in 1 place, so big ups to Gaudio.

Closed Guard Arsenal: Sweeps & Back Takes by Giancarlo Bodoni
This instructional teaches a range of sweeps and back takes from closed guard bottom. The instructional is organised as follows: teaching how to firstly break posture with a focus on using your legs and using grip breaks; sweeps when the opponent is on his/her knees and covers pendulum, flower, scissor, hip bump, balloon and lapel; a series of back takes using arm drags; sweeps when the opponent is transitioning to their feet including the roger, ghost, flower and balloon; and sweeps when the opponent has successfully risen to their feet including double ankle pick, a series of muscle sweeps and the kiss of the dragon. If you didn’t know, the kiss of the dragon sweep is an interesting sweep that leads to the person on the bottom taking their opponent’s back as part of the sweep. This is a great instructional because these effective techniques are taught well and Giancarlo adds his own tweaks that make these techniques more effective and reliable. I have had much more success with these techniques since watching this instructional. I really like the hip bump sweep and I have watched many instructors teach this technique, even the great John Danaher and Giancarlo has a slightly different approach that for me has made a big difference. I have much more confidence attempting this sweep against all sized opponents. Giancarlo has clear and easily understood instructions for each technique. For each technique he runs through the technique multiple times, so you don’t miss anything. As expected, he shows the technique from different angles. Importantly he teaches how to read your opponent’s movements to determine the direction and timing of the sweep. Some people hold the view that the closed guard is boring and perhaps lame, but with good sweeping skills it is a good way to control a larger person and with effective sweeping skills is a gateway to a dominant position (e.g. mount or side control). Additionally, from closed guard you can take the back. Sound and picture quality are good. The angles of the technique displayed are appropriate. If you wish to improve your ability to either sweep your opponent or take their back from closed guard bottom, then this is a great instructional. I am confident that if you are spending any time in the closed guard bottom and provided that you take the time to absorb the material in this instructional it will make your rolling so much more fun. The instructional is 2 hours and 33 minutes long.

Systematically Attacking The Guard by Gordon Ryan
I'll be completely honest that I've been hesitant to buy a system that costs this much but after a month of drilling in the garage, I'm blown away by how many simple details that are game-changing bits of advice. Gordon leaves no stone unturned, my training partner and I are constantly looking at each other going "how has no one told us this over the last 6 years." This system will not disappoint, one of the best purchases i've ever made for jiu jitsu material.

Closed Guard Domination by Tom DeBlass
I love this video. I am a 4th stripe Brown and 10 time IBJJF medalist and 4 time Gold mentalist / Super Heavy. We never stop learning and my focus now is perfecting my game to qualify for my black belt. The basics are so essential, even at the brown and black belt levels. Tom’s Closed Guard video is wonderful. He gave me the little details that make all the difference. I recently rolled with several black belts and they were so impressed with my closed guard and attacks from closed guard. This is a MUST video. Thank you professor for sharing your skills with us.

How to Pass Guards Quickly and Easily Using Leg Attacks by Craig Jones
Great rundown of how to progressively pass guard. Very structured concepts with great techniques and breakdowns of positions. Not just form the guard passer, but what to expect from the person playing guard. Chaining/being able to chain together 3 sequential methods of attack (in this case passing) really goes to show how dominant you can become with just the knowledge of what to do and when to do them.

The Road To Black Belt and Beyond by Tom DeBlass
I was om the fence about buying this dvd. I am super happy I did. Tom covers every subject possible (of course led by Todd's questioning) Everything that I have contemplated and thought about Tom covers. Tom is extremely practical in his advice and seems like a level headed and just good guy. Who else would you want to get this advice from, but someone who has done it all...MMA, BJJ, Etc..... I've been studying for 5 years and also do Muay Thai and did two years of Krav Maga. I will be watching this series several more times just to always remind myself why I love this sport so much. Thank you Tom and Todd and BJJ Fanatics for another over the top series!
