Best Ankle Locks
I have several instructionals covering ankle locks and this is definitely the best one I’ve seen. I wish I had this 8 years ago when I became interested in ankle locks. I could have saved myself a lot of time. I would highly recommend but I don’t want other people knowing this stuff. It’s too good.
Great details
Excellent info to immediately improve your finishes with ankle locks.
Leg attack viciousness
Helped me sharpen my basic leg attack knowledge immensely.
Getting me up to speed
I've been shying away from leg attacks but finally decided it had to be done. This course feels like a really good way to get more comfortable and to learn to set traps.
Highly recommend

I love X men and chess and these moves go great with my game I'm a college wrestler and jiu jitsu guy who also uses judo to add these leg locks and positions into my game has made me evolve tremondously very detailed and well made instructional thank you very much
Butterfly Ashi System
Shai nicely explains in depth the details of (outside) Butterfly Ashi together with entries, counters and recounters. He also brings forward concepts that are valuable for your whole jiu-jitsu game.
Awesome instructional
Had the privilege to attend two seminars given by Shai about the topic. Killer instructional, really helped my game.
Excellent video
I have the honor of knowing Shai as a person, and rolling with him from time to time. Shai is, as mentioned, one of Wim Deputter's best students, and a very good and promising BJJ competitor, both in Gi as in No Gi. He is also the nicest guy. On top of that he is a very good coach, explaining techniques and principles very clear and technically, even though English is not his mother language. I would recommend his video to everyone who want to advance in his BJJ game!
Some people are just
I dont know how he does it. He is successful in every aspect of his life. He started a succesfull bjj gym He wins international competitions He is great in his studies/work Some people are just superior. In this instructional you can get some of the details that make the difference between just being good and absolutely dominating. His french accent is just the cherry on top.
A must have!
Excellent stuff that definitely improves one's gameplay. A must have!
New game
Honestly a whole new perspective of looking at leg attacks amazing stuff hope to see more from him.
Useful techniques
The explanation is really clear and the techniques can easily applied to the roll.
This guy
I don't know how he does it. Trains early morning trainings. wins big international competitions. Is a super sympathic guy. Starts a succesfull bjj gym. I guess some people just have better dna. It sucks that i am not him. Checkout the vid for a glimpse into succes
