Good instructional but annoying uke
classic old school Gracie jiujitsu focusing on the basics for self defense as opposed to tournament jiujitsu. A classic!
all practical fundamentals
Old school always works
We get almost a seminar with Rickson’s philosophy.
When i first got my DVD from professor Heredia, it was a mind-blowing and it's amazing and phenomenal, he's a 2nd person to receive his black belt from Rickson Gracie and been with him, since day 1and get it directly from him :-)
excellent
The real jiu jitsu that's applicable for the streets. Luis is one of the first black belt from Rickson Gracie so his bjj is straigt from the source.
Limao delivers amazing content.
Excellent instructions on the fundamentals. Clear and concise instructions. Highly recommended.
great
It's probably one of the better beginner instructional. Professor Heredia gave great details on a wide range of techniques. It's a good starting place for anyone new to the gi.
I love this kind of insights in - in my opinion - the best bjj
Heredia is great. He excels at showing the old school details - many small mechanical tweaks that make a difference and how to distribute your weight for each technique. If you want to learn to do more with less this is a great place to start. Excellent for the older grappler.
No flash, just good old school concepts that will make you better- full of gems.
Great demonstration of principles with practical techniques you can use. The volumes span top game (lots of knee on belly) and submissions, closed guard (can opener defence) and weight distribution/pressure passing. It's not a comprehensive list of techniques, but rather a conceptional and philosophical approach; old school and self defence focused. Minor negatives are that his demo partner chats too much (very distracting) and the chapter markers are missing on volume three for some reason. Great buy if you want some no-nonsense old school BJJ demos and advice.
Simple and effective "old school" techniques which work.Highly recommended.
Nice old school fundamentals,
excellent seminar. he goes over the invisble jiu-jitsu in detail. on what can make your jiu-jitsu more efficient. remember, old school jiu-jitsu does not mean outdated jiu-jitsu. it's actually timeless jiu-jitsu. you don't need 20 techniques to shut down any open guard, you need only one. and he explains the principle behind it. i could not believe my eyes
Master Luis Heredia is the real deal. When I say his dvd I purchased it, No brainer but i have a suggestion to Master Heredia if he is going to keep using his instructor as a video partner, PLEASE, tell him to shut up during the instruction.
What this instructional thought me is that the fundamentals are very important. I will keep working on them before moving on to all the ninja stuff :-)
Professor Heredia is a legend. Rickson;s right hand man. These are great fundamentals with some added twists, especially the wristlocks. i'm a big believer in the invisible jiu-jitsu concepts from Rickson Gracie. Thank you!
Master Heredia goes in depth through demonstration on the theory of using weight for pressure and passing. Im not small or as flexible and agile as others. This dvd explains how to use your weight to really make things happen and defeat all the fancy new guards.
Nice collection of old school Bjj. Awesome teacher and I’m a big fan.
highly recommended instructional video. Very simple, basic and to the point. Fundamentals are everything and this video shows fundamentals is what wins matches and help you succeed in your bjj journey. 5 out 5 stars.
