• Very useful for MMA

  I've been using this a lot at my gym and at different gyms and I'm able to control people at a much higher skill level than myself

• Already confusing and frustrating my training parnters

  There's almost a tangible feeling of "bro when are you just going to pass so I can do my escape thing" energy coming off of the people I've worked this in on. And then for a few higher-belts that I've explained it to and know what I'm trying to do, the ability to survive and keep riding the leg pins is way more control than I had before. Obviously I still have a long ways to go as far as overall execution and timing for submissions at my level, but I can already feel how natural it is to get into these pin angles and then start fighting the upper body game. The head-and-arm threat to gift-wrap concession is probably my most common gambit so far. I love it.

• Folkstyle Wrestling

  My top game, and bottom (understanding what the top is looking for) went from none to understanding it, and it was a start to developing my top game, very good instructional for preventing standups

• Changes Everything

  I came from a folksytle wrestling background going into Jiu Jitsu. I wasn’t sure what techniques and philosophies adapted well to the ground game. I kept some techniques and embraced the Jiu Jitsu approach. Craig does a great job at erasing the idea of seeking points and instead seeking control. I’ve brought back more techniques from my wrestling experience and added techniques from this instructional that just sit so well with me! Embracing this style really does make a difference and makes it hard on the people you roll with.

• HUGE addition to my game

  I've been watching and adding some of these principles to my game for a few months now. I'm a smaller guy and I have been absolutely cooking the bigger guys with this stuff. Craig does a fantastic job at explaining it in the simplest way possible and makes a big emphasis on there is no exact way but these are the principles to take away. Highly recommend

• One man can hold you down

  What this video lacks in sheer volume of techniques, it more than makes up for with its detailed explanations of control. Coming from a wrestling background, many of the techniques were already familiar, but the instruction constantly gave me those "I never thought to apply it that way in jiu-jitsu" moments. After about a month of implementing what I learned, I've noticed a significant improvement in my control, pressure, and ability to keep opponents pinned. If you're looking to tighten up your top game rather than collect more moves, this instructional delivers.

• Power ride

  Good folkstyle wrestling techniques for holding your opponent down

  Antal P.June 22, 2026HungaryVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Power ride

  Great as a general grappling instructional. Not covering traditional bjj scoring positions but positions that provide more control and also are great to slow down the explosive guys. Have really enjoyed implementing this stuff into my game as it's exactly the overall grappling style I really like, rather than bjj specific stuff.

• Good jiujitsu

  Very good

  STEPHEN W.June 11, 2026United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Amazing instructional

  One of the best instructionals I have seen. For me it was a new concept, that i now use from every “classic” position. Amazing control using your legs and your weight. Easy to include small parts day by day in your game. Very good to combine with the BJJFanatics inside camping from GR and pressure game from Adam .W.

• True 10/10 instructional

  As a bigger guy who is consistently at the bottom of my weight class, I have always felt like the traditional Bjj pins (side control, mount, etc) weren’t as strong as they should be. A bigger opponent seemed to easily push me off of them when I got into a scoring position. Craig Jones is changing the game with these pins and I felt the impact immediately on the mats. I am now focusing exclusively on controlling their legs as much as possible, then slowly getting to a high percentage submission. Because of this, I am also able to roll for more rounds because my opponents are escaping much less and I am less fatigued. Highly recommend this to anyone one, regardless of belt level. Almost all of my regular training partners commented on how my game has changed after finishing this course!

• great instructional, great teacher

  imho, craig is the best jiu jitsu athlete there is. the core of what makes him great is his intelligence. obviously this leads to him being a great instructor as well. the content is great, explanation easy to understand and laid out well. i have bought other instructional video's from craig, and plan to buy a few more. just going to take time to practice and perfect. even though i am an old guy, new to the sport, i still have gotten a lot of value from his content.

• A new way to think about what to prioritize when grappling.

  This instructional has a huge impact on my decision making processes and how I approach holding people down. It is a positional grey area that you can keep the match in to make your training partners play a game they don't have a lot of time practicing. It feels like a cheat code to turn purple belts into blue belts and blue belts into white belts. I have rewatched the whole instructional at least 5 times.

• Fundamental Intructional

  Great overall addition to your game, a fundamental instructional that everyone should watch.

• Craig’s new philosophy

  Craig Jones presents pinning as a dynamic, attacking system rather than just control. The instructional is clear, practical, and focused on using pressure to force reactions and create submissions. Short, modern, and very effective—especially for No-Gi.
