This is a really excellent concept based DVD. I'm a big guy, not particularly talented and I've been able to implement a good chunk of it in live rolling

One of the best instructional series I’ve bought for guard pasaing
The B Team Bottom Game: Imparting Wrestling, Turtling, and Heisting For Superior Results
Something in here for everyone! Craig is relatable as always, and his teaching is always very palatable/clear/understandable. I appreciate his open minded approach, always questioning BJJ norms, and constantly looking to problem solve with intelligent technique. Highly recommend. I have had some luck implementing this "Luke Stewart vs. Andre Galvao" sweep in training recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQnrJNlp3R4

Great series
Your first stop for leg attacks
The K.A.T.C.H. Leg Attack System by Dean Lister
Dean Lister’s Katch Leg Attack System is a masterclass in leg lock mechanics, strategy, and mindset. Having studied various instructional series over the years, this one stands out not just for its content but for the way it reflects Lister’s deep understanding and legacy in the grappling world. What sets it apart is how Lister doesn’t just show moves; he teaches concepts.
The Pitel Reverse Half Guard
The Pitel Reverse Half Guard by Bernardo Pitel
There used to be a lot of passes from the reverse half, but now it's happening much less often! Thank you!
No Gi Chokes From Everywhere by Miko Hytonen
Video is beyond helpful with training
Polish Power Inside Passing
Polish Power Inside Passing by Adam Wardzinski
Very clean, structured inside-passing system that focuses on control and pressure rather than speed or flexibility—which my joints greatly appreciate. It takes some drilling to really feel smooth, but once it clicks, passing starts to feel calm, heavy, and annoyingly effective for your training partners.
Systematically Attacking The Arm Bar
Systematically Attacking The Arm Bar by Gordon Ryan
Systematically Attacking The Arm Bar by Gordon Ryan is exactly what the title promises—a championship-level, fully detailed approach to attacking armbars from multiple angles and positions rather than a scattered collection of flashy moves. Gordon covers everything from differences between top juji and bottom juji, grip mechanics, escape counters, to variations like quarter, three-quarter, and pillow/scissor armbars—all while explaining the why behind each choice. What stood out to me—and many in the community—is the depth of technical insight and problem-solving mindset Gordon brings. Viewers online rave about how his breakdowns go beyond just “here’s how to do it” to diagnose why certain armbar setups succeed and others fail, which is huge when you’re trying to actively increase finishes in live rolling. Highlights: Fantastic breakdown of armbar mechanics, grips, and leverage principles that apply across positions. Teaches how to troubleshoot common escapes and transitions between juji variations, so you’re always moving toward a finish. Great mix of structured instruction and real rolling footage with commentary—makes techniques feel usable rather than just theoretical. If you want a system you can build on instead of a series of highlights, this instructional delivers big. It’s packed with layers you’ll revisit again and again as your armbar timing and comprehension grow.
Polish Power Smash Passing
Polish Power Smash Passing by Adam Wardzinski
Heavy, methodical smash passing that actually works. No flying nonsense—just pressure, control, and patience. Great instructional if your passing style is “slow, miserable, and effective.”
Shotgun K Guard
Shotgun K Guard by Mateusz Szczeciński
Mateus is currently one of the best and most dynamic leg lockers in the game. His K guard system will instantly impact your leg lock game.
Top course!

Head and Arm Mastery: Unleashing the Power of Kata Gatame by Luke Martin
These are chokes we practice in class, then don't quite remember. Nice to have an encyclopedia instructional.
not intuitive
The Power Shoulder Trap: Gi and No Gi Fundamentals by Waldo Zapata
Although it feels like some explanation was lost during editing, overall great. Frustrating, at least for me - had to watch, try, re-watch, re-try. Important to do what Coach Zapata is teaching, versus what seems intuitive at a particular step.
Great close guard principles

A Tutorial without 80% Less Instruction
Breathe to Win by Glyn Powditch
He outlines concepts without being specific about what you need to do or why; continually name drops, then extolls the benefits. I suppose if you already know all the background of breathwork, the applications he offers might have some value, but this was my intro and this course gave me almost nothing.
