Unorthodox, unexpected, excellent
The Snap Guard by Neil Melanson
This content and its delivery by Neil are both outstanding. I also have "The Catch Wrestling Formula" by Neil, and it also excellent. He has provided answers to many of the questions I had when I was in some of the positions covered in his content. He also provided answers to some of the questions I was too ignorant to even have! He opened my eyes to many possibilities I was unaware of. His techniques are unexpected, unorthodox, and do not require the agility or flexibility of a 7-year-old female gymnast. His delivery is unhurried and comprehensive, and he covers the small details. There is also a tie-in to the Williams Guard (among many other things), which Neil calls the Shoulder Pin, and I appreciate the novel ways Neil shows how to enter into it. Overall, an excellent presentation.
Response from BJJ FanaticsThanks so much for your review! 🤗Foundations of Briazilian Jiu Jitsu
Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Bernardo Faria
This guy has a gift for teaching: great at anticipating details you probably missed, great at progressing through material logically.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Very interesting and well explained
The guard Retention Anthology: Around and Under by Lachlan Giles & Ariel Tabak

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Armbars from everywhere with Buchecha
The Buchecha Arm Bar by Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida
Love armbars, and best if their taught by the man himself. Great value for this instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics😎🤗Exceedingly well done
Basics To Advanced: The Half Butterfly Guard by Aaron Benzrihem
Compared to most instructionals, this should be 6 stars. Many people are good at jiu jitsu, but few are as good at teaching it as they are at it. Aaron here is a welcome exception, as his teaching is very well organized, thought our, thorough and concise. “Basics to advanced” is exactly what it is, and the content here is enough to last a long time, seemlessy blending tech, concepts, and connections from one position to the next, couldn’t recommend this enough for anyone interesting in half butterfly, or for improving their butterfly or half guard on its own. I think half butterfly is a great gateway for more old school half players to modernize their game, and Aaron is a great teacher to guide that transition
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Leave them wondering what happened...
Sweep The World by Leonardo Saggioro
Sweeps against not just bigger guys, but more experienced partners is something that this video has opened my eyes to. I’m not anywhere close to having them down, but it has definitely opened my eyes to the availability of sweeps. But when you do get one, it feels so good! Top quality video... get you some!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great concepts and simple explanation!
Kimura Domination by Tom DeBlass
Great concepts and simple explanation! Been hitting kimuras a lot more recently after watching the content in thirst videos!

The Guard Retention Anthology: Through The Legs and Close Range by Lachlan Giles & Ariel Tabak
Another great addition by Lachlan and Ariel. I bought this through the legs retention instructional to get a better understanding of HQ and cross knee retention, and there are details and concepts that I can immediately implement (I.e correct old bad habits). Thanks for releasing this!!

Train With Your Kids by Joel Bouhey
Thank you, Joel, for making an awesome family-focused video! Its been very hard not being able to train these past several months, and while I wrestled informally with my kids, your videos now give me a way to teach them some fundamentals in a fun and engaging way! I believe tons of other dads and moms will probably love this video as well - if we make BJJ fun, then there’s a better chance our kids will want to train more with us. A terrific video!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Good buy
Kimura Domination by Tom DeBlass
Once again Tom doesn’t disappoint. I have at least ten of his instructionals and his teaching style makes it easy to learn. Like always he explains things clearly and you’ll likely pick up some details you haven’t heard or seen before. If you like the Kimura buy this. On a side note most Toms dvds are no gi but they translate to gi perfectly. Don’t hesitate it’s good stuff.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Definitive guide to De la riva
The De La Riva System Part 1: The Foundation by Mikey Musumeci
I learned more about Jiu Jitsu in the introduction than I have learned from many other instructional videos. Mikey is changing the game by releasing his positional concepts and details. If you want to improve and FULLY UNDERSTAND what you are doing (instead of mimicking), take advantage of the 50% off Black Friday deal and buy this instructional ASAP! This guy is going to quickly become one of the best instructors in the world!!!

The De La Riva System Part 1: The Foundation by Mikey Musumeci
I can't believe I've played DLR for 10+ years and didn't even know certain concepts and details from Mikey's first volume of the instructional!! It's amazing what Mikey pounds into your brain as to what details unbelievably important to make this position successful, i.e the key details of the frames. I've just gotten through volume 1 and can't wait to go through the rest of the volumes. Osss.

Leglocks Unlocked by Tum Energia
I'm a white belt and got a ACL torn a couple off months ago. I can't train atm because off my torn with mount, side or with people. I never done legs locks before, but now is the right time to make a jump to leglocks. I had make a grappling ***** and have buy this dvd. Tum approach and learning skills give me a clear sense of what leg locks are and how to use! I about 4 months i can finally come back to my bjj class and will use the leglocks for sure!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The most important takedown training you will find online. The key principles are here. Get this or spend 10 years struggling and failing.
Feet To Floor: Volume 1 Fundamental Standing Skills by John Danaher
If you want to learn takedowns, you have to start here. I'm only going to explain a few things but there are a huge number of critical principles in this set that you simply won't find on any other videos. For example, he explains about the importance of breaking grips and setting up your opponent. If you fail to do these two "basic" things, the rest of your throwing technique is guaranteed to fail. He also covers how to use the standard wrestling techniques when wearing a gi. Again, tons of videos show takedowns, but they leave out the key principles and without them, like how to break grips BEFORE attempting a takedown, your wrestling technique will be blocked. The final video about the self defense value of the high single leg is just pure gold. For that tape alone, I'd gladly pay the price for the set.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻There was new techniques to
Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Bernardo Faria

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Leg attacks for every level - beginner to advanced
Leglocks Unlocked by Tum Energia
High quality production, focus on important details, clear explanation, and straight to the point without cutting any corners. If you're looking to improve your leg attacks, this is the instructional you want. As a white belt, there's plenty techniques here that are very usable on my level, and some more advanced instructions that I will save until later. Great video, highly recommend it. Can't wait for the next DVD!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great details that have improved my Guillotine!!!
Mastering Guillotine Concepts and Principles by Karel "Silver Fox" Pravec
Great instructional ! I have trained and learned from Silver Fox on a few occasions but had difficulty making notes for future reference. His 2 DVD's are awesome. I can now recall some details he has covered that are solid. After a Private session and few seminars with Karl, I was bale to hit some effective submissions in BJJ competitions soon after. This guillotine DVD is incredible because it covers high percentage concepts that work against a resisting opponent. No matter what level you are, you will learn some important details. Some guys are great at grappling and then you have guys that can make you better. Silver Fox will make you very good. A hidden gem. Thanks :)

The Half Guard Anthology by Lachlan Giles
I usually play alot of halfguard and wanted to explore more options than shooting for a lockdown and sweep. This was a great addition!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻High-fi detail, Low-fi description
White Belt Defense by Joel Bouhey
Sometimes teachers forget to articulate the details that they now do instinctively. They can also over-talk the technique. Sensei Bouhey keeps it simple for the beginner. He hints at more advanced options as he takes you through. Just right in my opinion. Great instructional for beginners. My son and I will work on these in tonight's home mat session. (I'm a BJJ beginner, but I have trained/taught wrestling, Karate, Danzan-ryu Jujitsu, and TKD.)
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Killer instructional!
Leglocks Unlocked by Tum Energia
I'm not even half way through part 2 and already feel I got my money's worth. Tum does a phenomenal job breaking down the techniques and this series is great whether you are new to attacking legs or more seasoned. Even the parts that have been a review for me were worthwhile as it was a nice refresher and gave me some key points to focus on. Definitely pick this up!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Simple and great
The No Gi Deep Half Guard 2.0 by Jeff Glover
If you like to play deep half guard, this is just great. The way Jeff explains is super easy to understand and focuses on the concepts that make his system work. Definitely enjoyed and helped me getting out from difficult positions with unexpected sweeps 😎

Leglocks Unlocked by Tum Energia
Great quality instructional for all levels. Tum created an easy to follow instructional. Allot of instructionals fail to keep my attention but Tum's instructional keeps my attention from start to finish.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Self Defense
Feet To Floor: Volume 1 Fundamental Standing Skills by John Danaher
I loved the SVG part of this instructional. It will be very useful for jiu-jitsu students because of the growing need for self defense in modern times. Jiu-jitsu is wrongly looked down upon now days by most of the population (at least in my state). I myself have been stalked and harassed multiple times because some people found out that I train jiu-jitsu. Every jiu-jitsu student needs to have the ability to go SVG on someone when it is called for. This instructional is a must have for that reason alone. Also, I would love see John Danaher do an entire instructional on self defense very soon. Any word if something is in the works?
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excellent instructional
Back Attacks Enter The System by John Danaher
This was the first JJ instructional DVD I've ever purchased and was understandably nervous given the price. However, after having had chance to study the content I immediately feel silly for having worried about getting my monies worth. John is excellent and his instructions are very clear. He is incredibly detailed and boils down the concepts so they are easily understood. His teaching style is very academic, which may not be to everyones taste. I feel a far greater sense of direction and purpose when attacking the back and it has really accelerated my understanding of the position in an incredibly short space of time. Will certainly be buying more of John's instructionals in the future!

The guard Retention Anthology: Around and Under by Lachlan Giles & Ariel Tabak
Probably the best DVD series I’ve ever seen. If I had to only choose one instructional, I’d choose this one. I’ve always loved Lachlan Giles’ teaching but this instructional with Ari is the best by far.
