Great Video
No Gi Half Guard by Bernardo Faria
The No Gi Half Guard by Bernardo Faria
This one was awesome. Great intro into both the single leg and deep half guards. Even if you use a more traditional half guard style, Bernardo’s teaching is critical because it helps in situations where you can’t get to a full tight waist grip do whatever reason. The single leg approach and the deep half he teaches are both helping me have counters to when partners shut down my usual approach. Also, Bernardo’s style stands on its own and can be used as your only half guard approach, as evidenced by his success employing it at the highest levels. Awesome video. Highly recommended along with his gi half guard video.
Thorough guide of the on top position
Understanding The Distance On Top by Gui Mendes
I really like the video-course, it gives you a thorough understanding of what happens in the on top position. Gui explains you the goals of the person on top and in guard, the details of the position, what allows you and what prevents you from having a good on top game. I reccomend the video, but I would suggest it for people who already have some experience in bjj.

The Secrets of The Brabo Choke by Leo Vieira
Some great insights into the Brabo choke, its variations and combination attacks from one of the greats who made the position famous! Highly recommended.
Great Instructional, truly.
They Shall Not Pass by Gordon Ryan
I think what Gordon said in the beginning about knowing WHY someone passes your guard is so important. Sometimes knowing is the mental boost you need to push through temporary failure.
Terrific Release
Feet To Floor: Volume 1 Fundamental Standing Skills by John Danaher
I bought this video because my standing game is less developed than my ground game, and I was hoping it would help. (It did.) I was pleasantly surprised to see John sharing some of his wisdom from his bouncer days. I wasn't expecting that, but it was a definite bonus!
Great !

muy buen tutorial gracias
Effective Material
Toe Fold and Shin Locks by Joshua You
This video is one that makes you realize how much effective material exists outside of the usual leg lock conversations. Instead of focusing on the same heel hook, Joshua dives into toe folds and shin locks with a level of detail that makes these techniques immediately usable.
Incredibly helpful
Breaking The Triangle: Escapes, Counters & Sneaky Submissions by Joshua You
Getting caught in a triangle is a universal grappling experience. Joshua is an incredibly helpful for turning that frustrating situation into something manageable and even dangerous for you opponent.

Power Ride: A New Philosophy on Pinning by Craig Jones
Yes, who was the demonstrating partner, I learned these techniques at middle puberty. My uncle taught me it's pritty good, but don't put your all eggs in one basket. Good review good for MMA but size and weight matters with this series as well as experience.

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.
Love the content

Just technical
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
Winning Tough by Pat Downey
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

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

Half guard from Buchecha!
The Buchecha Half Guard by Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida
In my opinion Marcus Buchecha is one of the best instructor in bjjfanatics. He is showing techiques in very easy way. Always have some techiques that I didnt know. For me te most effective was sweeps from deep halfgurd. Totaly recomend this instructional!
Solid knowledge
