A submission that works in competition.
JLock by Jakob Müller
Explained step by step in a clear and detailed way. I didn’t expect there to be so many details to it. By now I can apply the JLOCK confidently on the mats. Recently I even hit the JLOCK in competition. Thank you Jakob

Retention as a System, Not Just Techniques
Guard Retention: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
The guard retention and recovery instructional by John Danaher is excellent, especially for those who are just starting to understand guard retention. He does not teach only specific guards, but presents retention as a situational framework, which makes decision-making during rolls much clearer. Guard retention is one of the hardest topics to teach online, and this instructional is very well done. Danaher talks a lot, but it helps a lot with understanding the concepts.
Great stuff
Systematically Attacking the Guard Body Lock Study by Gordon Ryan
Great stuff
Interesting but underwhelming
Octopus Guard 2.0 by Craig Jones
Lots of interesting ideas that are contrary to standard BJJ but it felt underwhelming compared to other CJ instructionals at the same price point. Felt like the amount of realistically useable content was lower than others and closer to 1.0, which I felt was easier to implement and I still use it more frequently than 2.0.
University series
Jiu Jitsu University by Saulo Ribeiro
This is a great video series. It gives you the details you need to survive and thrive in a jiujitsu environment.
Submission expertise
High Percentage Submissions by Bernardo Faria
This was a great series. It gave a wide variety of submissions in a usable format. Bernardo's experience in a gi definitely shows.
Championship Catch Wrestling: Front Headlock & Tactics
Championship Catch Wrestling: Front Headlock & Tactics by Josh Barnett
Great instructional video!
Fun and unique
Octopus Guard 2.0 by Craig Jones
This is not a traditional instructional or octopus guard. It’s unique and fun to watch. My only wish is that it had more of the traditional octopus guard but I guess that’s why it’s “2.0”.
Better than the 1st
Octopus Guard 2.0 by Craig Jones
Brilliant better than the 1st one
10/10
Octopus Guard 2.0 by Craig Jones

Tremendous easy to follow details

Quick and easy to follow a must buy
Savior!
Ageless Jiu Jitsu: Winning When You're Older Or Less Athletic - Top Game Gi by John Danaher
As I do BJJ and age, I find myself wanting to get back to basics and move away from flashy social media techniques. John Danaher has the best roadmap for aging grapplers that I have seen thus far. A few years ago, I would have never considered this DVD. Various injuries and an influx of young, explosive grapplers have made me reconsider. Now after going through this series, I feel like I have a good game plan to move forward with BJJ for the next 20+ years. Thanks Mr. Danaher!
Underrated submissions
The Top Game Submission Manual by Ken Gabrielson
I got this one for free but it has some hidden gems in it
The only way I can use jiujitsu
Power Ride: A New Philosophy on Pinning by Craig Jones
I used to wrestle in high-school and this instructional allowed me to funnel my skillset almost 1:1 into jiujitsu. Obviously this isnt the only way you should be grappling, but without this instructional I would not have found the same success applying my wrestling into submissions.

awesome series
Building a Guard Passing Game by Samuel Nagai
Amazing techniques. I've always loved playing passing guard and this DVD has taken that part of my game to the next level.
deceptively advanced
The Active Open Guard Encyclopedia by Leandro Lo
I go back to this every few years and feel I understand it more and more each time. It's really good but when I first reviewed it, it all seemed repetitive and similar - you have to really appreciate the small positional and situational changes for which he's teaching the particular variation and organize it all in your mind for yourself
Good
Octopus Guard 2.0 by Craig Jones
This is good stuff and works on higher belts
Toe fold and shin locks
Toe Fold and Shin Locks by Joshua You
This tutorial was all new information to me and I walked away with many new tools in my tool bag. I have a bunch of new counters and options to experiment with over the next few weeks. Thank you Joshua You.
Bought his ****. Did not regret it.
Aggressive Bottom Side & Side Butterfly Guard by Kent Peters
If you love sneaky stuff, this is the instructional for you. Kent does a great job breaking down his techniques and is fun to watch. The only negative I have is there are not more instructionals from him. Love from Saskatchewan, Kent. I hope to meet you and train in your gym one day.
Dominant positions brutal submissions
Dominant Positions, Brutal Submissions by Joel Bane
Good video chance to learn catch wrestling
JIU JITSU University
Jiu Jitsu University by Saulo Ribeiro
This tutorial is full of mastery tips and things I initially didn't learn from my instructors during my white belt phase. Now I can clean up some of my weak points and become a more difficult person to submit like Jon Fitch. Excellent instructor, excellent syllabus and a honest view of BJJ.
Too fast Not enough details
Mastering the Ankle and Aoki Lock by Jett Thompson
Content is good how ever each video is about 1 minute long. Only does the move once and does not go into deep details. Now I don't expect a John Danaher level explanation but a bit more for my money it feels like a reel type of tutorial not super happy about my purchase should have just saved up for a different tutorial. Now the content is good if you like fast paced explanations. Angles of video were not the best to comprehend the movements either.
Solid

Clear and Practical Half Guard System
I Half The Power by Arthur Zuka
Very well-structured and easy to follow. The concepts are explained clearly and focus on important details like angle, positioning, and weight distribution rather than just techniques. It helps me better understand how to approach the half guard system. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a stronger half guard game
Amazing
