Combatives & Street Jiu Jitsu by Dan "The Wolf Man" Theodore
This is one of the absolute best instructionals on this site and especially for street situations, which is often neglected. Very good instructor who is detailed and explains with a pace that is just right. This is a blend of techniques that work from several arts and it’s wonderful to see them being used together. I sincerely hope Dan releases more content as it is some of the highest quality I’ve seen and I’ve been training in various arts since 1986.

Concept that keeps me in control
Half Guard Life Guard by Magid Hage
The concept of having a two on one with the legs (and controlling the knee line with that) is the great breakthrough for me on this instructional. The instructions are very clear. I liked the structure for the segments, starting with the tools and then going on and showing them in the moves. The submissions volume is less detailed than the other volumes, it shows you the submissions you can do from half guard, but not the exact finishing mechanics. It does however show you options that you might not have thought of, and how they are "tools" for the rest of the techniques on this instructional (by creating reactions).
The OG
The Complete Butterfly Guard by Marcelo Garcia
Marcelo Garcia ...well he speaks for himself. Truly one of the best ever. Even as things in bjj progress or change and many techniques become outdated the concept and mindset doesn't change. Marcelo will always offer something substantial to learn. Thank you for the great videos.
Comprehensive and Detailed
Connected Reaction Second Guard (Defense and Escape from Side control) by Paul Schreiner

Passing the Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher

Great Material!
Dynamic Reverse Guard by Jason Rau
About a year ago I had a training round with someone I had never trained with before. He was using reverse guard and I was lost. I attempted many of the "common" reactions that Jason refers to here, only to be put in a worse position. After the match he told me it was reverse guard, and I wasn't able to find any information on it. This video is a fantastic summary of the position and how to deal with common reactions. One frustrating aspect is that there should either be a mobile camera or more angles for each technique. There are many positions where I only see Jason's back and the action cannot be seen. This isn't just his videos, others on the site have similar issues.
Good content

Exploring Outside Heel Hooks by Sean Applegate
Love this DVD. I've come back to it multiple times just to keep the principles sharp. Really great purchase!
Chaining concepts
Unifying The Systems: Navigating Between The DDS Submissions Systems by Garry Tonon
First time watching one of Gary's instructionals and has been great so far. Content is exactly what the title suggests; concepts for chaining different attack systems. Probably not your best option if you are relatively new but super helpful for intermediate - advance level grapplers
Huge game changer for me.
Half Guard Passing and Dynamic Pins: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
As blue belts a friend and I started drilling these and practiced them with gradually increasing levels of resistance. Now as purple belts our professors commonly refer to us as two of the better guard passers at our academy. These are very controlled and dominant ways to systematically pin someone down and pass into a dominant position. You can build a successful guard passing game from this series alone. You will develop ways to force the half guard and find opens to initiate the various passes from there. An amazing series. I can't praise it enough.
Keeps you coming back..
Exploring Outside Heel Hooks by Sean Applegate

Great For Kids
Top Game Tool Box: Tilts & Bars by Max Askren
I bought this for my son who's a high school wrestler. The bar half is a big part of what his coach teaches. The details and options in this instructional have given my son an advantage over his teammates and his coach thinks he's a natural. Thank you Mr. Askren for this great instructional.

Back Attacks Enter The System by John Danaher
Highly recommend Danaher back attack system. I'm still a white belt and this has allowed me to understand back control and what other entries are possible if the rear strangle isn't an option. In addition what other systems are available should any of them fail.

Much more than just opening the closed guard.
Science Of Opening The Closed Guard by Matheus Gonzaga
This series is a steal for the price. The section on how to avoid sweeps is worth the price alone. You also learn how to defend the most common submissions from inside someone's closed guard. I have bought many instructionals over the years and this one has definitely been one of the most useful. If you find yourself in closed guard often, whether in live rolling or situational sparring then this series will have an immediate impact on your success inside someone's closed guard. Worth more than the cost In my opinion.
Basic but effective
Fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu: Introduction To Meregali’s Gi System by Nicholas Meregali

Jordan does a great job of explaining the techniques contained within the instructional! He is a very talented teacher and I am very excited to see more courses of his in the future.
Defense wins championships!
Exit The System by Garry Tonon
I love watching Gary Tonon compete because he is relentless and fearless in his attacks. The reason he can do this is because his defense is so good that he doesn't have to worry if an attacks fails. He knows he has a good chance at recovery therefore he can fully invest himself in his attacks and this makes him a truly formidable and dangerous competitor. Likewise for a hobbyist, if you have confidence in your defense then Jiujitsu becomes much more fun as you can be more adventurous with your game, knowing that you can defend yourself in bad positions and defend submissions. This series is and incredible course on submission defense that will rapidly improve your game. I highly recommend it.
