An excellent instructional to help you improve your closed guard
This instructional by Valerio Mori Ubaldini covers several aspects of closed guard (GI) and comprises three volumes - Volume one (56 minutes) teaches when and how to pull guard from a standing position and to then move directly to a submission or to one of several guards; Volume two (78 minutes) teaches from the close guard four sweeps (scissor, pendulum, sit up and flower), however additionally for each sweep, responses are taught for situations where the opponent defends the sweep and therefore it does it does not go to plan (i.e., the need for a Plan B); and Volume three (97 minutes) teaches what to do when the opponent breaks and passes your closed guard, techniques include submissions and sweeps. The total runtime for this instructional is 3 hours and 52 minutes. Valerio’s approach is to firstly demonstrate the complete techniques and then to teach the technique in detail. In respect of the detail, he also usefully explains the “why” (i.e., why it is necessary to do certain actions as part of the technique). The demonstrations are clear and are repeated from different angles. The video has been filmed in his own training facility and the video is of a good quality. In terms of sound, it is noticeable that his voice appears to be raised, accordingly you can clearly hear what he is saying throughout the instructional. This is a specialised closed guard instructional teaching several specific aspects of the closed guard. I found this instructional to be really useful and easy to watch. The concept of having Plan B’s is an essential one to embrace, as grappling is dynamic and ideally you should aim to have a flowing game where if a technique fails you have another appropriate technique ready to follow. If you are into the closed guard (GI) I strongly suggest you get it this instructional.
Really good
Simple yet effective gameplan, without crazy stuff. Feasible at every age and with any body type.
Plan b closed guard
Good instructional on the much maligned guard pull haha. Nice attack setups. Not many videos cover the guard pull situation, but this one looks at it in detail.
Great
Great instructional, the format made it easy to understand. Thanks to this video I now have a plan b from all my sweeps and attacks from my favorite position. The website helped to lay out exactly what the video contained in a concise manner, no bs great instructional.

This is a great video. It's clear with excellent detail and good camera angles, but Ubaldini gets to the point and doesn' t waste your time. I recomment it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Plan B by Professor Valerio Mori Ubaldini
I’ve been training under the instruction of Professor Valerio since 2/2017. Having 40 years of martial arts background/ training I can attest him being one of the best most detailed instructors I’ve ever known. He is an expert in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu both from an instructor and competitor aspect. Do yourself a favor and get this course as soon as you can, your BJJ game will improve and you’ll be glad you did!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Significantly improved my game
Professor Valerio is extremely thorough in explaining the “how and why” of all techniques in this course. This course captures the essence of being able to truly flow between techniques seamlessly. Do not be fooled by the title: in this course you will learn Plan B, Plan C, Plan X, Y, Z. The instructor is no ordinary Professor; he has studied under some of the most impressive names from Gracie Barra and is an extremely accomplished champion in the tournament world. This video series is crisp and clear, giving students confidence on the mat. Tired of panicking or forgetting your training in the heat of battle? This tutorial is like plugging into the Matrix.
Fantastic!!
