Make Z Guard Great Again
Make Z Guard Great Again by Craig Jones
Awesome. Craig and his uke Tyler are knowledgeable and likable. Techniques in here ranging from introductory to advanced. Great concepts as well, such as using the Knee Shield / Z-Guard to help improve overall retention. Recommend for sure!
Half guard passing
Half Guard Passing and Dynamic Pins: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
One of the best ones to ny surprise I don't normally use half guard.
Outstanding
Ageless Jiu Jitsu: Winning When You're Older and Less Athletic - Bottom game: Gi by John Danaher
I own more instructionals than everyone.... its almost an addiction of mine. JD full series are great! But if you want the cliff notes on what works for Older athletes in the Gi this is the jam. I'm a blue belt and I was able to hit these moves I thought I knew... with subtle details from JD on blackbelts I roll with. His prescription works. Just buy it unless you already have every one of his guard instructionals already which in that case you could find these techniques there but even still its worth it to have a quicker reference for the more mature players out there to get quick game template.
Balls to Wall
Great information on cage wrestling.

Polish Power Inside Passing by Adam Wardzinski
All of his dvds are so good it needs no big words. Just buy it...
Refuse to stay on bottom voluntarily
Craig is always an interesting study on unorthodox takes when it comes to BJJ. This is a great course to see how some of those unorthodox ideas covers in other courses like “Just stand up” fit into the bigger picture of guard play. I highly recommend this.
Lovely stuff
I really enjoyed this dvd . As a BJ guy I was looking for dvd s which helps me to improve my wrestling. It's this dvd
It a system

The guard passing anthologie half guard by Lachlan Giles
The Guard Passing Anthology: Half Guard by Lachlan Giles
Good insight into passing no gi half guard
Great attacking technique tutorial
Giant Killing by Claudio Calasans
This is a good video full of sneaky submissions and sweeps from different positions. That said, I don’t think all the techniques in here are ideal for ‘giant killing’. For example there are techniques from mount and side control here. If you have ever trained against someone seriously bigger than you, you know that it’s almost impossible to use those pins against them. They just push you off. (For this reason, I prefer Matt Arroyo’s tutorial on fighting bigger grapplers, which works around these positional problems). I would say the same for closed guard, it’s not really a good position against ‘giants’. (At least not for normal hobbyists like me!) But like I said, great techniques and Calasans explains everything well here.
Good stuff
The Ground And Pound Safety Manual by Javier Vazquez

Bring Balance to your Game
Movement for Grappling by Scott Georgaklis with Travis Stevens
I've been doing martial arts for almost 30 years. BJJ specifically for 21 of those. The techniques in this class should be mandatory training for every practitioner. I suffer from the aches and pains of training, but also bad habits developed from years of misunderstanding how my body should work. Since consuming "Movement for Grappling" I've incorporated many of the exercises into my daily routine and MAN what a difference in the way I move, and especially in the way my body feels on the daily. If you want to improve your game, and more importantly, improve your quality of life, integrate "Movement for Grappling" into your core training regime. The instructions and demonstrations are clear and easy to understand. The format is laid out so it's easy to get to the exact movement I want to study. The audio is distinct with zero issues. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is that I would love to see more context and background,and improved video continuity. All that being said, I, the anonymous grappler on the Interwebs HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get this video.
