Fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu: Open Guard Attacks Nicholas Meregali
Fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu: Open Guard Attacks by Nicholas Meregali
Great Instruction—Now I Just Need My Body to Catch Up Nicholas Meregali’s Fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu: Open Guard Attacks is exactly what you’d expect from one of the best in the game—clean, technical, and beautifully structured. Every movement he teaches has a purpose, and you can tell these are techniques that work at the highest levels. Now, full honesty: it’s going to take me a bit of practice (and probably some ibuprofen) to really get the most out of it. This is one of those instructionals where the details are gold, but your timing and coordination need to be dialed in to make it sing. So if you’re like me—50, not made of rubber, and still trying to master your angles—don’t worry, Meregali gives you a blueprint, not just highlights. What I appreciated: Clear, precise instruction on building an open guard game that actually leads to attacks. Strong focus on grips, posture, and breaking balance—not just throwing random stuff and hoping it sticks. Great for building long-term success with guard—not just trick plays. This is an instructional I’ll be revisiting often as I develop the timing and fluidity to use it effectively. If you’re willing to put in the reps, it’s a fantastic resource. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their open guard with fundamentals that work way beyond fundamentals.
Don't Be Finished: Edging Yourself Out of Danger Craig Jones
Don't Be Finished: Edging Yourself Out of Danger by Craig Jones
My Daily Survival Manual—Craig Jones to the Rescue (Again) Craig Jones’ Don’t Be Finished: Edging Yourself Out of Danger is hands-down one of the most practical and usable instructionals I’ve ever added to my library. I use it daily in training, especially when I inevitably find myself in a terrible spot thinking, “Well, this is how it ends…”—then I remember Craig’s voice in my head and somehow wiggle out like I meant to do that. This isn’t your typical flashy escape series—it’s a real-world guide to survival. Craig gives you the tools to stay calm under pressure and escape without relying on freak athleticism or spinning like a breakdancer (which, at 50, is definitely not on the menu). Why I keep going back to it: Excellent details on escaping bad positions with control, not desperation. Great use of humor while still delivering sharp technical concepts. Teaches you how to avoid getting finished even when you're deep in the danger zone. Makes you feel like you always have a way out—unless Craig is the one trying to finish you. If you roll regularly, and especially if you're not always the hammer in training, this instructional is a game-changer. Craig somehow makes defense cool—and makes not getting tapped a skill you can actually practice and improve. Highly recommend.
You Can't Knee bahh Craig Jones
You Can't Knee bahh by Craig Jones
Hilarious, Technical, and Now I Fear No Kneebar Craig Jones’ You Can’t Knee Bar Me is exactly what you'd expect: hilarious, sharp, and sneakily genius. Not only did I laugh out loud more than once, but I also walked away with a legit understanding of how to defend and counter leg attacks—especially the dreaded kneebar. Craig’s style is equal parts comedy and technical wizardry. He manages to make even complex concepts feel simple and digestible, and his approach to neutralizing kneebars is smart, structured, and actually works—even when you're not the most flexible guy in the room (I’m 50... my hamstrings filed for early retirement). Highlights: Breakdown of positioning, timing, and reactions that let you stop the kneebar before it even gets started. Solid counters that turn defense into offense—because making the leg locker regret their life choices is just good jiu-jitsu. Craig’s humor keeps you engaged while you absorb serious, competition-tested technique. Perfect for older grapplers who want to defend their legs without sacrificing their knees (or dignity). Whether you’re constantly getting leg attacked or just want to understand the dark magic behind kneebars, this instructional delivers. Craig makes it fun—and functional. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their leg defense and laugh while they learn.
Pressure Passing Encyclopedia Bernardo Faria
Pressure Passing Encyclopedia by Bernardo Faria
Pressure Over Everything—Finally, an Instructional for the Over-40 Smash Crew Bernardo Faria’s Pressure Passing Encyclopedia is basically the holy grail for guys like me who aren’t cartwheeling into guard passes or posting highlight reels on Instagram. I’m 50, I like to smash, and this series gave me permission to be heavy, slow, and unstoppable—which honestly feels like a superpower. Bernardo’s passing game is built on pressure, patience, and soul-******* top control, and he walks you through everything with his signature simplicity and positivity. You don’t need to be fast—you just need to be deliberate. And heavy. Really, really heavy. What stood out: Techniques that work with gravity—not against it (thank you, Bernardo). Clear explanations that make pressure passing feel accessible and effective, even if your flexibility retired years ago. Great details on using over-under, double unders, and shoulder pressure to turn your opponent into a yoga mat. You’ll feel more confident passing than ever—and your training partners will probably start avoiding rolling with you. If your goal is to pass guard and make people question their life choices, this is it. No fluff, no flying nonsense—just pure, soul-melting pressure. Highly recommend for anyone who likes to keep their jiu-jitsu simple, brutal, and effective—especially us "experienced" grapplers.
Outside Passing Jason RAu
No Fluff, No Flash—Just Passes That Actually Work Jason Rau’s Outside Passing is like that quiet guy at the gym who doesn’t say much… then folds everyone in the room. This instructional is straight to the point, no wasted words, and packed with solid, repeatable techniques that made me stop bullfighting like a confused matador and actually start passing guard like I know what I’m doing. What I loved: No unnecessary filler—just clean mechanics, smart angles, and passes that work even when your knees sound like bubble wrap. Rau’s teaching style is calm, clear, and confident. No hype—just high-level jiu-jitsu delivered in a chill voice that made me believe I could outside pass someone someday. Great mix of theory and application. He shows how to manage distance, bait reactions, and glide around guard players like a ninja in slow motion. At 50, I’m not diving headfirst into toreando wars like I used to (okay, I never did), but Rau’s outside passing game gave me a way to stay technical, efficient, and look like I meant to do that the whole time. Highly recommended if you’re tired of guard players wrapping you up like a burrito and want a game that keeps you in control without needing to be a human highlight reel.
