I liked the system he laid out. Showed some nice pointers on control I hadn't see before.
game plan
Jiu Jitsu For Old Guys: Fundamental Game Plan by Bernardo Faria
I've known Bernardo since he first came to Marcelo's school. it was at night and he just got into New York and came straight to the academy. I would every now and then drive him to his apartment spike about a game plan after I did poorly in a tournament. At 61 I pretty much only do half guard , deep half and under over and it works almost all the time. you cannot go wrong with his method.
Art of the wristlock
The Art of The Wrist Lock by Roy Dean
Roy dean has a wonderful way of making things looks buttery smooth and clear demonstration /explanations. Wrist-locking is a great part of keeping your opponent in check at times and very useful to create openings for better opportunities.. sometimes you even get a full submission. Recommend this to anyone wanting to incorporate wrist locks into their strategy

Old School BJJ Fundamentals by Ricardo Cavalcanti
Good breakdown of the fundamentals!
Detailed, practical, and interconnected lesson
The Complete Butterfly Guard by Marcelo Garcia
I appreciate the attention to detail and whole picture approach Marcelo Garcia has in this instructional. As a smaller guy (~150lbs) I find these techniques useful even against larger opponents. I also appreciate his insights about connecting these techniques to single leg x, back takes, and follow up movements. Has seriously helped my BJJ and prepared me to take even more away from Butterfly lessons in my own gym.
Sneaky
Jiu Jitsu For Old Guys: Nasty Control & Sneaky Submissions by Bernardo Faria
Suddenly sexy sneaky submissions spoken spectacularly sounding splendid
no gi escapes
No Gi Defense & Escapes by Kyle Boehm

Fundamentals for old guys
Jiu Jitsu For Old Guys: Fundamental Game Plan by Bernardo Faria
I enjoyed the video. It have given me a plan for a take down. As an older guy I’m not as good at takedowns as I’d like. This has given me a plan. I love the concept of the action leading to your best move, cutting out the middle man as he says.

Solid
Quicksilver by Pavel Tsatsouline & Jon Engum
Pretty nice set of moves to fix your aches and pains from BJJ. Even better if you do any of the kettlebell stuff Pavel teaches. One thing I would've liked though would've been a full-body stretching routine to follow. This is mostly just a compendium of stretching moves.
Solid go-to for defense
Never Get Submitted Again by Noel Danforth
I usually come back to this instructional every time I get caught in a submission. This goes through defenses to all of the popular subs, like guillotine, omoplata, triangle, kimura, ezekiel, cross choke etc. Solid, well worth the money.
Details you missed
Guard Passing Mastery by Henry Akins
Never a miss with Henry Akins. Akins is extremely good at the fundamentals. There are a ton of little details here that everyone misses, which will totally transform your understanding of what guard passing fundamentally is. It's just weight distribution and angles. Akins demonstrates these simple high-level concepts beautifully. The best thing about Akins' instructionals is that since they tackle the "why", you can apply these concepts to other areas of your game too. Akins is one of the all-time great BJJ teachers, up there with John Danaher.
