My professor has trained with Cyborg many times and recommend this instructional series. it has seriously changed my pressure and passing game.
Eye opening leg lock setups not found elsewhere
Grand Master Leg Locks by Gokor Chivichyan
Instructional is good in that it shows different setups that I have not seen elsewhere. Each segment was concise and to the point. Unlike Gotdon Ryan’s leg lock instructional it is not defining a system for you. It shows disparate leg locks from different positions including stand up. If you are looking for strategy, transitions, etc look at GR’s instructional which is more comprehensive but also much pricier. Grekor’s is a good follow-up to further explore other setups as well as his style of leg locks.
Great info on leg entanglements
Under Pressure: Leg Entanglements by Brian Glick
Highly recommended if you are (looking) into leg entanglements and leg locks. Mr Glick is an amazing instructor.

Dynamic Reverse Guard by Jason Rau
This one has really helped bridge a gap when my DLR breaks down, helps make a natural pathway to pummeling to a productive X guard or other options.
Its Gordon's open guard...
Systematically Attacking From Open Guard Supine Position by Gordon Ryan
Probably my favorite Gordon Ryan instructional I've watched so far. Don't be intimidated by the names of moves or highlights, his open guard really doesn't require any crazy level of mobility, especially compared to some other guard systems out there. Worth noting this instructional is intened to go with his seated guard instructional. Still a ton great standalone contnent that will keep you busy for awhile but you'll probably want to buy both eventually.
Cradle gang !!!
The Blackout Hybrid Pin and Cradle System by David Petrone
David and Vinny's creativity really open my eyes to all the possibilities in the cradle position. My personal favorite from this dvd is the twister/wrestlers pin.
Nontypical Moves That Aren't some Instragram BS
Moves Your Instructor Never Showed You by Malachy Friedman
Malachy teaches some nontypical moves but they work without perfect timing and work with resisting partners. He also shows why they work which allows you to troubleshoot when they do not work for you.

Power Ride
Power Ride: A New Philosophy on Pinning by Craig Jones
Interesting way to look at top position in grappling. Especially useful against bigger and powerful opponents when top pressure just isn’t going to hold up. I recommend this.
Fantastic introduction to fighting
The Winning Fundamentals Of MMA by Chael Sonnen
This course takes a different approach, instead of teaching specific techniques as the main focus, Chael teaches the overall philosophy of a set of techniques primarily and also teaches some specific techniques. If you already have a large library of techniques from other training and want an introduction to the sport of mma, then this is perfect. It will teach you to find your personal fight philosophy and incorperate what you already know into an mma repetrior.
great teaching style
amazing instructional, I am very glad I purchased. I always find Andrew is a good teacher and my brain can remember the way he explains things.

This is a classic for good reasons (long review)
The Coyote Half Guard by Lucas Leite
Volumes 1 and 2 teach the core of Lucas Leite half guard GI game; volume 3 teaches getting to the opponent’s back (GI) from various positions (i.e., the opponent is on their back, in sitting guard, and the turtle), several submissions from the back and maintaining back control; and volume 4 covers half guard material for NO GI. For half guard there is a focus on commencing with a knee shield, hooking the opponent’s leg to create pressure on their knee and to come to the dogfight position (aka the Coyote position) to a sweep or move to the opponent’s back. Additionally, in volumes 1 and 2 techniques are taught to stop your opponent passing your half guard and how to enter half guard from various positions. The instructional has a total runtime of 3 hours and 25 minutes. In my opinion Lucas Leite’s teaching is excellent. His instructions are clear and focused. Unfortunately, a detraction in this instructional for me, was when performing techniques Lucas Leite didn’t seem to consistently have a good sense of what the camera lens was capturing (note this was his first BJJ Fanatics instructional and the camera operator also had a responsibility in this regard). Techniques are repeated generally three times and the repetitions don’t always complement each other for filming purposes. In my experience the techniques taught work and importantly Lucas Leite also teaches alternative techniques for changing circumstances. In respect of video quality, range could have been better (i.e., focusing on the instructor and uke and having less studio background) and as noted above at times the camera angle could have been better (i.e., sometimes for a technique demonstration the film footage does not show clearly what is being described, such as situations where the demonstrations are focused on one side of the body). Filming quality would have been improved if close ups and optimal filming angles had been used to ensure all the necessary limb positions and movements were clearly captured. Other than the regular cough from the cameraman, which is audible in the preview, sound quality is good. The instructional appears to have been filmed at the BJJ Fanatics studio. In summary, setting aside some of the identified filming issues this is an excellent instructional to purchase because of the techniques taught and the quality of the instruction. You will be rewarded if you carefully watch, engage and practice the techniques taught in this instructional. If so, in my experience you will improve your half guard game and increase your confidence on being on the bottom. This is a classic BJJ instructional and definitely worth adding to your BJJ video library.
