loved it will not be sharing with my friends 😆
I takes some time to really get into it. But once you get it its great.
A lot of valuable folk style wrestling positions applied to jiu jitsu as "between passes" intermediary positions.
I reckon this is funding Craig's nose beers so I figured why not.
A new way to think about top-position and one I've returned to many times.
great lessons
Love the instructional. Surprised Craig Jones has a great mind for the game.
I like the concept of pinning better than passing to get points. I started watching this video yesterday, and today, only by riding the legs + Dagestani Handcuff I made my partner tap with pressure only. I can see myself using this type of techniques more often than the classical bjj style.
A completely new philosophy on pinning and is insanely good.

Craig showed a new way to pin and this stuff works!
Craig Jones does it once again by creating a phenomenal instructional. I immediately implemented these pins in my game which completely transformed how I control my opponent. The instructional is full of great detail as well as common counters and needed transitions. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking to improve their ability to control their opponent!
well explained instructional. was able to use a lot of the concepts demonstrated.
Entertaining and enlightening.
A good quality videos. Also fun to watch which is not always the case with instructioals
Very nice content. And quite useful.
Good instructions with usable material.
Craig Jones teaches you how to ride a man unto completion
Lots of wrestling techniques and good pinning and submission details I have not come across in normal bjj class yet. Highly recommend.
Excellent instructional
Awesome
I had been struggling to keep control, Craig's content is a game changer for me

Practical philosophy of pinning with applications in competition that increase control or to help you not get kilt in da streets!
Great content. Craig Jones is very technical.
straight forward. easy to follow and entertaining.

👍
Game changer. A real paradigm shift in top control.
Game changer 🤯
don't score points, just cook 'em
Best video I’ve watched in a long time. Makes a ton of sense and helps me demoralize my training partners
Craig Jones instructionals always deliver with unique technique and concepts you won’t see on any other instructional. This one details control positions different to the traditional points based hierarchy. I have had a lot of fun in the training room making my team mates suffer in some of these positions. I would highly recommend this instructional for people looking for effective methods of controlling their opponents.
This instructional was insanely easy to watch and digest. Craig goes outside of the traditional BJJ box to present a different approach to keeping someone down. It is more of a concepts based instructional, but with enough specific examples to illustrate the lesson. Definitely a must have in your library!
great details
excellent instructional on pinning
just ic couple of days helped me a lot i allways felt that side control and mount are not really the best option for control and now i feel i can control my opponent without wasting a lot of energy and movement .
Awesome
I have yet to try any of the techniques, but as a former wrestler I wish I'd learned this at white belt. So many of these positions are ones I was comfortable and skilled in a decade ago, but I ditched them in favor of more traditional BJJ positions of control. I look forward to "Khabibing" more partners later tonight!
Craig's right and this instructional should really change the way you approach grappling from the top. Reddit was right that this series has had more an impact on my game/thought process then any other instructional I've watched.
The concepts presented in this instructional are pretty mind blowing. I've started training these control techniques and they felt counterintuitive at first because (as he points out) the techniques I have trained over the years are geared around certain sport BJJ rules. But, after working with the positions and techniques, it was very apparent how good these techniques are to establish top control. Craig Jones is great at teaching these concepts, and really thinks outside the box. In this instructional, he says that these concepts are not meant to replace the techniques you've been training, but to supplement them to create a more dominant top control uninhibited by any sport BJJ set of rules. All in all a fantastic no gi instructional that adds another dimension to your game, and (quite honestly) has elevated my excitement and love for BJJ. I look forward to more instructionals like this from Craig Jones!
I was hesitant at first to buy instructionals until I was more experienced with jiu jitsu, but I'm very glad I got this one early in my game. Power Ride really helped me to understand pressure and controls, and how to maintain top position, and I'm glad I watched it before engraining the traditional positions too much. I've started riding the legs in classes and I've noticed a tremendous difference in how fatigued my partner is, and how much longer I can stay on top, even being a lighter guy. Very good instructional, would highly recommend.
Craig explores a very unique way to dominate and control your opponent independently from scoring points. It really works and allow you to arrive in a very dominant position where you can submit very easily your opponent. And finally the way Craig teach is unique!!!!
excellent concept that can help to elevate a standard top control game
Perfect
awesome
this pinning philosophy bring a whole new perspective to jiujitsu
I really enjoyed the breaking of the mold of the point system. I think anything that brings us close to something useful in real situations is better, and this was great!
Super helpful for someone without a grappling/wrestling background. Craig Jones is funny, entertaining and does a great job as an instructor in this series. Highly Recommend!
I am 9 months into BJJ with no grappling/wrestling background. The concepts taught in this instructional have really improved my pinning ability. After rolling, a lot of partners ask me what I was doing and explaining how difficult it was to fight against. Plus, Craig Jones is very funny, talented and I think he does a great job explaining the details in this instructional. Would highly recommend!
