• Stuff that no one else teaches

  I haven't come across anyone who teaches the same stuff Neil does. I wish he didn't swear so much, but he has fantastic techniques and does a great job explaining the concepts.

  I like Neil approaching the Turtle in unique offensive manner. Turtle is very strong position and an important one at higher levels.

  This instructional is very helpful. I'm getting up there in age and getting good at turtle has been invaluable to my game. This instructional has helped my turtle game..

• Excellent as always

  This builds on what Telles teaches about the turtle. Neil weaponises the position making it a valid position and not just a defensive one.

• cool stuff / off-beat

  I'm only on the second video. Melanson has interesting takes, slightly off-beat from what most bjj people would teach. Lots of wrestling influence. Kind of perfect if you want something that most bjj people have not really seen before.

  Coach Neil goes deep into the turtle position here and ties in many different disciplines and stories that make this a very informative and entertaining instructional like his other ones.

• Tactical Turtle

  Another great instructional from Coach Neil. I got this one a while back, after wanting to have more ideas for my turtle game. Huge amount of material in here that isn't covered very often, if at all.
