Easy to understand, worth trying this technique
Just great :) I really like it. More suited for modern grappling AND mma than old guard passing methods. Craig is a vwry likeable instructor. Need to add that my sparringpartners dont know how to deal with simple, yet effective pinning methods presented in the tutorial. Really clever positions and surprisingly easy to apply.
This instructional has elevated my game and really changed how I look at "dominant point scoring" positions. The leg pinning and riding is so effective in tiring out you opponents so they make mistakes that lead to submissions. Thank you craig!
Before watching Craig's instructional i had played around with the idea of using my legs to control my opponent's legs (obviously at a more rudimentary level) and this has helped me develop a much better understanding of how to apply it. Definitely a fresh take at what positions are considered good for controlling a person.
Great
Absolute gold, changed my game!!
If you want to keep your training partners guessing, definitely add this one to your game. I feel this is a concept that will be more developed and systematic as it becomes more mainstream in sport jiu jitsu. It is a great introduction to a world of alternative options that exist using traditional wrestling techniques/controls adapted for hunting submissions in no gi jits. I feel also you must be at least blue belt level or above to really understand how to add these elements to your no gi game. If you are a traditional gi player this instructional will definitely open your mind to this new approach. Open your mind and dont get left behind with this new way of thinking. I love all Craig Jones material, I watch B team on youtube everyday!
This instructional has really been a game changer for me. There’s a number of larger, more explosive athletes at my gym that I’ve struggled to control in traditional top positions. This instructional provided clear and repeatable methods for successfully controlling these athletes immediately after viewing. Don’t miss this one.
I love this product. It’s thoughtful, provocative concepts that stretch the ideas of why we do what we do as grapplers. I’m a strong proponent for control and superior positioning and this is the first product I’ve seen that really explores that and questions why certain positions are considered better than others. I’ve been eating this one up and highly recommend it to any grappler. Great stuff
Craig brings a completely different mindset to top game from what you’ll usually hear. This change in perspective opens up a lot of possibilities that I never considered before.
Excellent perspective on a missed topic in many schools. Craig is a great communicator. Very well done.
Craig Jones is really doing some interesting things. Rather than just showing some techniques he's trying to establish a new way to play the position. This is a game changer.
Really cool series on how to apply top pressure in unique ways
One of my favorite instructionals. I use these concepts all the time now and my control and pressure have improved a lot
Great product that shows a different strategy to controlling a person. Great for MMA to
Novel ideas , well presented and gives a good roadmap to this alternative strategy
Best video series I've bought off of here
Im holding down significantly stronger and larger men for long durations much easier now
Would recommend
I can control people so much bigger now because of this!
Great details. Very little rambling
I've watched this entire instructional and have had great success implementing it the various rides. I'm focused on exhausting opponents until they give away easy submissions. I highly recommend this for anyone that cares more about the submissions and control than about maximizing your point scoring.
Amazing stuff, it is simple yet game changing .. and I've been grappling since 2009. I can't believe it took me so long to find this stuff. Thanks Craig!
The instruction on this instructional is top notch. Craig has a unique style and still has the ability to break down the techniques for everyone to understand. He's and excellent teacher and this is an excellent instructional
Can’t go wrong with a Craig Jones instructional
Craig not only shows interesting new moves, but a new philosophy when it comes to pinning. He goes over the basic concepts and positions and then shows how you can integrate them with your already existing techniques. I found many of the techniques he showed could be added to my arsenal fairly quickly and it really improved my game.
Cool and new things from this instructional. Recommend getting this if you want to have fun trying new things.
Easy to learn and very affective
Changed my top game
Something I have not thought of before. It's a great new conoept to help with my top game.
Learned a lot. Different from any instructional I’ve bought on pins
As a smaller (5'8"/160) and older (52) dude, I find it difficult to control the giants in our morning class. Trying to hold traditional mount is only temporary... Splitting the legs with a Power Ride, however, I controlled at 250 lb'er for 4 minutes before he recovered a guard! Now this is worth putting the time in to learn!!
After watching Power Ride, I've been able to control all types of men in various situations. You better think twice before you try to pull a fast one on this guy;)
im a big fan of craig's tutorials. his instructions are clear and easy to follow. his techniques are also well thought out and useful.
works!
These pin controls feel like a cheat code to know. Going to make this approach to model my pins / my pressure passing game for the future.
This is one of those paradigm shifting instructionals. Super grateful for the thoughtfulness of Craig's curation of control principles and methods, and for the way this product delivers a deeper understanding of grappling you can immediately apply as opposed to a collection of techniques to memorize. Would not be surprised if the approach Craig outlines here ends up being foundational in the grapplling of the future.
Light years ahead of anything else right now
Love Craig’s style. Very digestible and immediately applicable in the gym. This instructional is great for stalling rounds against a spaz where you don’t want to get hurt

Worth it
So far so good. Logical concepts missed by jiujitsu community and IBJJF points concept.
Craig shows a different theory on how to control your opponent.
The reassessment of control verses current points rewarding system is a game changer and the intro is epic!
I have used these concepts in BJJ and actually in real world fights. This is a well organized presentation of control techniques and concepts.
craigs brings a new way of looking at pins. rather than looking for "points", he exposes ways to find actual control
Outstanding content, and some great thought provoking ideas around control vs. traditional BJJ points based positional heirarchy.
I love how Craig teaches and how he approaches jiu jitsu in general. The control concepts presented here have already come in handy in all of my rolls and I can already tell they're going to push my game so much further!
Another great Criag Jones instructional! Dagestani Handcuff is a main go to for me now. I'm sure a ton from this instructional will become staples for me, and anyone else who chooses to watch and learn from this. Thanks again Craig and BJJ Fanatics!
awesome
