Exactly What I've Been Looking For!!!
Ageless Jiu Jitsu: Winning When You're Older Or Less Athletic - Top Game Gi by John Danaher
I started BJJ when I was 42 years old. Now at 44 and a Blue Belt, I've been searching for great content on how I can better handle the younger more athletic monsters at our training academy. John Danaher is a leged, we all know that. However, its the way he breaks down these techniques and approaches that makes this series worth its weight in gold. The very first 17:00 minutes of this series has been game changing alone!! If you are an older practionier BUY THIS NOW!!

Some of the best instructionals out there… i especially loved crucifix and side control
Solid Video
Systematically Attacking From Closed Guard by Gordon Ryan
This is a great video on guard strategies, even including some nuances such as the grip fight to set things up. Pairs well with the Danaher closed guard, with some, but not too much repetition.

Incredible
Dynamic Reverse Guard by Jason Rau
This is such a great position to work there are not many people i notice if any teaching this position. it is a great way to enter to the legs and look for off balances. this is definitely something if you have a hard time off balancing your opponent into attacks you should utilize

Highly Relevant for BJJ!
Mastering No Gi Takedowns by Travis Stevens
This video is a must-watch for anyone looking to take their standup grappling game to the next level. It features Travis Stevens teaching no-gi takedowns, with a focus that is less judo-centric than many other "no-gi judo" instructionals. It's a great resource for anyone looking to improve their no-gi takedowns, and Travis does an excellent job of teaching the material.

The Leotine Effective Guillotine Attacks by Leozada Nogueira
pure magic. very nice. game changer
Great explanations, but missing what I was hoping to get out of it
Survive and Escape by Matt Thornton
I purchased this after watching a youtube video where he was teaching mount escapes. I'm blue, nearing purple, and still get embarrassingly stuck in side control, even by lower belts once they figure out how to control their pressure, and figured based on his ability to explain on youtube and the length of this video that it would be a good library of info in which to find a better solution that what I was currently doing. Like in the youtube videos, he gives a great explanation for each move and there is a tone of info on here. However, for me I couldn't give it 5 stars because it doesn't contain the 2 most common forms of side control I see played and get stuck in so I wasn't able to apply it directly (some you can frame and work your way into positions he shows here).
great handfighting strategies to kickstart your passing cycle

Clinch Wrestling Basics by Pat Smith
Great intro to standup
escapes
Essential Side Control Escapes by Shawn Williams
always great details with Shawn's instructionals
could rate this 4 or 5 depending on what you are looking for
Exit The System by Garry Tonon
I struggled with which to rate this. Garry goes over a lot of escapes from a number of different positions and they are very good. I've frustrated a few people with his crucifix escape. I ultimately went with 4 stars because for the price you can get similar levels of detail and a lot more total escapes, even if you piecemeal with some of the others because they are cheaper. I'm also not the caution to the wind type that he is and won't utilize some of his armbar escapes unless it's a last resort for that reason. I've torn elbow ligaments before (not from his moves) and know the consequences in terms of pain and affecting my work and prefer more cautious methods. Overall, I would say it's a good way to get a few escapes from several positions from someone who explains the well and is more engaging in his teaching style than a lot of others, but it's not a comprehensive list of escapes, just his go to, which may fit you well if your style is similar to his.
Has a lot of escapes and includes a lot of key details
Fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Escapes Gi & No Gi by Lachlan Giles
This is a very good video, covering a lot of escapes from each position and the key details that make them work. Good for beginners especially, but may also contain some details more experiences grapplers hadn't picked up on or had forgotten

Ankle Picks for everyone
Basics To Advanced: Ankle Picks For Jiu Jitsu by Aaron Benzrihem
In this instructional I learn how to ankle pick in a way that fits easily into my game. Great details and very good set ups which help me as an older guy to take down some of the younger athletes in our gym. So I highly recommend this instructional.

Principles First
First Principles Submissions Defense Volume 1: Arm Locks by Stephen Whittier
If you want to learn phenomenal techniques then buy Danahers videos. If you want to learn principles that once understood you can apply in many different aspects of your game and which will continue to surprise you with their usefulness then check out Whittier. I am finding this first principal style of learning to be easier to remember and apply than trying to remember a bunch of different techniques. That being said you will get the most use out of whatever you train against live resistance that is uncooperative and unscripted. So get Whittiers instructionals and a good training partner and practice these escapes against progressive levels of uncooperative resistance and your defensive Jiujitsu abilities will skyrocket. You cannot go wrong with this.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Requirements: Purple Belt 2.0 by Roy Dean
Great video where roy shares his favorite chains and teaches the importance of chaining moves. Great production quality as you'd expect if you've seen his channel. The bonus content seminars are worth it on their own and weren't a sales gimmick. What are you're favorite chains?
