• A New Dimension of Control

  A ridiculously powerful toolset of control to supplement your style.

  Derrick G.October 27, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBlack belt13-15 yrs training

• Power Ride

  Great ideas but a lot of discussion about breaking away from usual thinking in BJJ. Will definitely try these new methods of control.

  Paresh G.October 23, 2024CanadaVerified buyerBrown belt10-12 yrs training

• Very Impressive

  This is basically the future of BJJ. Remenber when leglocks were neglected ? This is the second season, using the legs to establish control.

  Rafael B.October 22, 2024BrazilVerified buyerBlack belt10-12 yrs training

• Changed my game

  Loved this instructional. Craig's got a great way of delivering the content and the concepts discussed were real game changers for my passing/pinning. Overall, I'm far more focussed now on controlling my opponent and letting them provide me with the opportunity to sub them, rather than diving on subs.

• Power Ride

  Completely changed the way I think about control and dominant positions! Paradigm shift of going for points versus true control. Like many other of Craig’s videos the concepts open up so many new possibilities and ways of enhancing your game. Highly recommend.

• Game changer

  So useful for MMA, a different point of view of pinning, Craig is a great teacher

  Ramón J.October 21, 2024United StatesVerified buyerPurple belt7-9 yrs training

• Game Changer

  Excellent instructional! A real game changer! Craig demonstrates and teaches a lot of leg-riding techniques, which provide excellent control over an opponent and can compliment conventional pins.

  John D.October 21, 2024CanadaBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Insanely effective and funny

  This instructional is long enough for the price, has great unique content, explained well with multiple angles, shows care and respect by making people aware of dangers without shying away from more difficult or risky techniques, and most important is entertaining and fun to watch.

  John F.October 18, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Very interesting positional work

  This instructional has helped me a ton with controlling my opponents in no-gi. As Craig explains, this pinning system is NOT what we are used to being taught in terms of the traditional positions. It's worked very well on my training partners and opponents. Highly recommend playing with these concepts!

  AdrianOctober 18, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Good content

  amazing new positions to pin the opponent

  Alexey K.October 17, 2024United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt4-6 yrs training

• Power Ride

  Seems basic but the controlling mechanisms here work exceptionally well. Ive focused on controlling rather than traditionally passing and my submissions have increased dramatically. Cooking people with some of these control mechanism has really helped tiring out bigger opponents. Great tools to keep in the bag

  Jonah V.October 16, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Paradigm Shift

  Craig Jones goes into detail about the nature of pinning and explains that the traditional BJJ pins, the ones that usually score points in competition, are not really the most effective ways to actually control an opponent. He shows alternative pinning techniques borrowed from wrestling and also shows how to adapt these to submission grappling. Super interesting and potentially game changing.

  Jose Q.October 15, 2024United StatesVerified buyer1-3 yrs training

• A big game changer

  Power Ride reinvent my all top/control game. Great concepts explain by a great teacher !

  Sacha K.October 12, 2024FranceVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Fantastic

  I'm bigger, heavier and stronger than most of my training partners, so using these techniques feels like cheating. I'm using them anyway.

  David R.October 9, 2024DenmarkVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Power ride review

  Really cool new way to think about control, I’ve really enjoyed implementing some of these techniques into my rolls

  JamesOctober 8, 2024CanadaVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• great pinning options

  Really love the explanations and applications that Mr. Jones talks about. I've applied after only watching the conception part and it has been affective at pinning other people. Also love the two chapters dedicated to making fun of his training partner too ****.

• Power Ride: A New Philosophy on Pinning

  This is a fantastic video for those looking to improve their top game or cultivate a more wrestling based style in their jiu jitsu.

  Daniel N.October 6, 2024United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Effective change in Philosophy

  Things were brought up in this video that I would not have considered without this video. The concepts of control of the lower body made some great changes in my game, immediately. I will continue to explore and implement the concepts. Very exciting stuff.

  Derek W.October 6, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBrown belt16 yrs training

  Great video. Very rare topics to be covered, one of a kind as far as I know in submission grappling instructionals. Great for those who are trying to develop a good top game or trying to cultivate a more submission wrestling style in their jiu jitsu.

• Nuanced Control

  This instructional reintroduces us to basic ideas of bjj, that are based on the old ways. Since bjj is evolving, this instructional offers the hypothesis that top control is much better than traditionally 'dominant' positions. Great instructional for controlling the bottom player.

  AnonymousSeptember 24, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBlack belt13-15 yrs training

• Game changer! changed the way i view grappling

• Concepts I’ll think about for a long time

  Loved this instructional. Craig is such an engaging person. I have a feeling I’m going to be revisiting this instructional throughout my BJJ journey

  Andrew S.September 12, 2024United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Game changer

  I’ve been rolling with these techniques in mind and it is giving everyone a lot of trouble and confusion. It’s clearly more dominant control. Very rad CJ 🤙

  AnonymousSeptember 12, 2024CanadaVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Very Interesting Style of Grappling

  Unique to traditional bjj control methods. Very happy with this purchase

  Alex D.September 12, 2024United KingdomVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

  Its awesome

  Jeffrey L.September 9, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt16 yrs training

• good

  this is very good video to watch

  Quoc P.September 8, 2024United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• As good as it gets

  This is one of the flat-out best instructionals in BJJ, period. Completely revolutionizes the top position, and an absolute must-watch for anyone who intends to compete in no-gi or MMA. The only caveat is that some of the material requires a solid preexisting basis of positional understanding for best results- (i.e. when to pursue these techniques as opposed to more traditional scoring positions), but for blue belt and up, this instructional is a game-changer.

  Ryan K.September 8, 2024United StatesBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Jonesy knows.

  This is fun to do to new students and then maybe get better at it and try with other white belts.
