Excellent, that's what makes you a professional.

Overhook mastery for sure
Overhook From Everywhere by Adele Fornarino
Adele gives awesome details on proper pressure and systems of using the overhook. I dig it!
Octopus 2.0
Octopus Guard 2.0 by Craig Jones
A bit different from than your typical octopus as this instructional is based primarily from side control. There is most definitely a learning curve . It’s a very reactive position with no time to think . The positive is the technique is very simple. It will take some reps to hit the sweeps with a decent percentage just be prepared for the back takes and darces. I would have like to have seen a section of just sparring/roll analysis. I would buy it again and do recommend it for anybody that’s a fan of octopus.
Techinal Teachings
Toe Fold and Shin Locks by Joshua You
I really appreciated how calm and technical the teaching is. It's all about angle, control, and understanding where the pressure actually comes from.
Amazing “guard” and amazing rework of the octopus guard.
Octopus Guard 2.0 by Craig Jones
So stoked I got this for less than $50 and have started to implementing the guard already. 4 days after purchasing. Even better, I show up to no gi and they are literally teaching octopus guard 2.0. So excited to keep learning and growing.

Overhook closed guard
Overhook Closed Guard by Adele Fornarino
I learned a lot, I’ll see if it works on the mat. Adele is an amazing teacher and is able to get across the details that nobody talks about, but which are very important. For example, just the description ofthe overhook position his accident, but I’m sure it will make a great difference.

Awesome details on the triangle. Was able to hit a triangle on someone that I didn't think was possible before with the details I learned in this. The only thing I'd like to see more of is different entries, it really only went over entries from closed guard but the details for the triangle are applicable to any entry.

Strangles & Turtle Breakdowns: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster
Strangles & Turtle Breakdowns: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
John Danaher’s Strangles & Turtle Breakdowns is a profound reminder that mastery lies in the details we often overlook. While many practitioners assume they have mastered these fundamentals at white or blue belt, Danaher exposes how superficial our understanding truly is. He takes techniques we thought were "muscle memory" and deconstructs them with clinical precision, revealing the underlying mechanics that make them effective at the highest levels. This instructional isn't just a refresher; it is a paradigm shift that forces you to unlearn lazy habits and rebuild your foundation with a deeper, more conceptual clarity.
Fundamentally sound
Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Bernardo Faria
Excellent
Outside Ashi Reloaded
Outside Ashi Reloaded by Jason Rau
Jason Rau’s Outside Ashi Reloaded stands out because it is forged in the heat of high-level competition. Rather than teaching static patterns, Rau shares a battle-tested methodology that reflects his deep, personal evolution in the leg lock game. His approach is uniquely analytical, treating lower-body submissions as a fluid strategic exchange rather than a forced sequence. By blending his intuitive mat sense with clinical precision, Rau provides practitioners with a sophisticated blueprint that works against elite resistance. It is a rare glimpse into the mind of a specialist who truly owns his craft.

Octopus Guard 2.0
Octopus Guard 2.0 by Craig Jones
I purchased the original Octopus guard dvd back in 2023 and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I bought this one to compare what updated technology had been developed. I liked this DVD but noticed that the approach on this one was more of a counter guard when trapped in bottom side control / turtle. I like the chaos it can bring in a scramble.
