Excellent！
It was a great video with a lot of very useful techniques. I want to practice a lot and be able to use them!
excellent
great as always from Jones
Power Ride
A theory/conceptual instructional that is presented well. This video will highlight a different thought process to jiu-jitsu especially if you don't have exposure/interest into wrestling. I have enjoyed implementing parts of this video the past several months. This video won't show you exactly how to end up in these positions but should encourage you to approach top in a different manner.
Power Ride!!!
Absolute game changer. Studying this instructional has made a night and day difference in my ability to hold top positions and gas out larger and more explosive opponents. Being a light to welterweight master's division grappler in a room full of young, explosive, heavyweights isn't easy. This has leveled that playing field a bit.
Loved it
Amazing stuff from legend, always helpful
Awesome
Really helps me out, especially as a top player.
Novel approach
I was really impressed with this instructional and the novel approach Craig uses. Much of it is really about pinning and wedges but his emphasis on flattening you opponent out and taking the back is very insightful.
Review
Great instructional.

****** awesome
Power Ride
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.
Power Ride - Craig Jones
I have over 15 BJJ Fanatic Instructionals and this may be my favorite. A fresh perspective on pinning taught outside normal Bjj confines. Craig is also outrageously funny.

Great Concepts! Easy to undestand

Good instructional with great techniques!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Makes me question BJJ positions
This video series is great! Craig is questioning the basis of pin positions in BJJ and provides a clear and easy way to understand other forms of ground pins that have proven to be more effective even though they don't award points for it in IBJJF rulesets. Looking forward to applying this and seeing how it affects my game.

Concetti molto interessanti che ho trovato molto utili riguardo al controllo dell'avversario.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Awesome concepts
Bringing in some wrestling control ideas to work for BJJ in an easy to digest manner
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Good Gosh, Craig Jones
Craig explains why grappling has evolved around tournaments, then teaches how to (power) ride a man. 11/10.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Game changer!
Game changer right here! The most common feedback I get from my training partners is "Couldn't/Can't do ****!" This instructional was easy to digest and I was able to apply a lot of the concepts in my rolls.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Excellent content
This instructional made me re-think how to approach pinning opponents and I've had great success implementing the concepts and techniques Craig demonstrated.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Made me a real top
No longer will I be a bottom. Im firmly dominating on top now.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great
This instructional is good to have control of a opponent.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗power ride
game changer
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Innovative philosophy to pinning
This mindset definitely fixes a lot of the shortcomings of BJJ. Must have instructional for anyone interested in grappling beyond a point system.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great content delivered succinctly
I used to think side control was good control but people always used to wriggle out. Now I simply shelf the legs and gaze down mercilessly upon my opponent as they flop around and unwittingly give me a khabib grip. Great material. Succinctly delivered. Doesn’t go overboard with technical details and instead asks you to find your own way
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Points and Positions
I agree with Craig Jones. The old style ways of pinning and passing have evolved in the sport. Competitition style gyms should focus on more effective control techniques vs sport, point format.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Craig Jones is a God
you heard me
Great
This instructional has helped me a lot with controlling the hips and below in order to control opponents
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Awesome content
This was a total game changer for me. It gave me a new percepective and I promise my training partners have suffered after watching this. The upper body grips that I learned here are absolutely fantastic
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Power control

good content
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Mandatory for anyone interested in control
Craig Jones approach to pins is essential for anyone interested in high-percentage control positions. It's unorthodox by IBJJF standards, however, in an MMA or non-points-focused competition, this video is loaded with great options.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗High level one of the
High level one of the best teachers on bjj

Good for learning how to dominate another man
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Pure Unbridled Autism
Craig Jones once said: "With enough steroids and enough autism, you can eb a world champion". Well, all I know is that I got diagnosed with autism AFTER I started watching his instructionals. Guess I'm on my way to being a world champion. Craig delivers his instruciton in a manner that is entertaining, informative, and in-depth. I have a fair number of instrucitonals on here and his are definitely my favorite.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗fresh perspective
great concepts and a new way of thinking when it comes to pinning.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Dynamic Pinning 4.0
C. J. shows how to pin your opponent down out of each conventionel position by turning it into a pin where you use your legs, arms, trunk and head to control his limbs, trunk and head. Not just his upper body. It is riding! 😉
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Fantastic control system, works great in the gi as well.
Incredibly valuable techniques and concepts. I watched the first half of the instructional over a couple of evenings, and was able to utilize the control principles quite successfully in my next rolling session. Even though I forgot some details, the core principles are so well taught by Mr Jones that even when I forgot some detail, I was always able to get back to some version of stapling, splitting or surfing the legs, and I could tell from my rolling partners' breathing that they were getting way more tired trying to escape these positions than I was maintaining them. No doubt this will only increase as I become more familiar with the details. I would also add that as a grappler about to turn 44, I especially appreciate methods that enable me to slow down the movements of younger, more explosive athletes and methodically exert pressure, without relying on any fast movements myself. This control system is absolutely perfect in that regard. On a related note, I love the principle of preferring submission attacks which don't require us to relinquish top pressure. Finally, I would add that Mr Jones is an excellent teacher who also possesses a keen sense of humour, which made the content all the more enjoyable. PS - As I alluded to in the review title, I mainly train in the gi and would like to point out that - at least as far as I can see - there's no reason why this stuff shouldn't work just as well in the gi. Possibly even better in some places, as there must be some additional collar chokes etc. which can be applied in some of these dominant control positions. I'm sure I will enjoy finding out for myself, while ruining many people's days.
