The reviews
Game-changing defensive fundamentals
Priit Mihkelson's defensive concepts completely change how you survive bad positions. Instead of scrambling and burning energy trying to escape late, "Running Man" and "Baby Bridge" give you reliable, structured resting postures where opponents struggle to find submissions or advance position. The explanations are systematic, easy to understand, and immediately applicable on the mats.

The Running Man & The Baby Bridge: Essential Postures To Keep You Safe
Cool Concept, very effective especially during tiring rounds
Love Prit
This stuff really works
Trabsfirmative
I am in my first year of BJJ but with a lifetime of stand up martial arts. Two weeks of studying Priit's defensive positions and transitions has dramatically reduced the ability of my training partners to get submissions. This is excellent stuff for defence and survival on the mat. It does need offensive additions but for defence, it is excellent.
Excellent
GrEAT Escapes
D-FENS
Especially good for early belts who will be smashed a lot and need to find ways to feel comfortable with bad positions. Priit talks *a lot*, padding the instructional with fluff otherwise this would be a solid five stars.

Good Instructional
amazing
loved it
The Running Man
Incredibly detailed instruction.
Defense foundation
The Priit delivers exactly what it says. Solid movements and concepts for freeing yourself and defending. Always worth recommending if you want to strengthen or improve these points around your game.
DEFENSE STYLE!
Top instructional PM at his best!
The Running Man & The Baby Bridge
Defensive postures to stay safe in and escape side control.
Position du coureur et du croissant
Le coureur permet de respirer en défense ventrale. Le croissant ou pont horizontal permet aussi de respirer sans fatigue contre un adversaire qui met la pression dans son yoko shiho gatame.
Make friends with your enemies
Priit once again does an excellent job of making it possible for players in "bad positions" to not only survive, but become comfortable and excel. In one of his dvds, he even describes it as making friends with your enemies.

Excellent defensive system

Defensive BJJ
Pritt gives great instruction and a unique point of view when it comes to Jiu jitsu. Learning and applying his system to my game has greatly improved jiu jitsu ability not only through technique but through his theories as well. 5 Stars

Highly Recommended
I highly recommend all of Priit's courses. Thanks Priit and I used the running man a lot.
Small is big and big is small
I have been practicing the deffensive positions of Prit for more than a year and it takes a while to start implementing them but it makes so much sense. As in architecture and art the artists are looking for the divine proportion, so does it exist in BJJ, further more BJJ is all about the divine ratio, so miniature adjustments have to be done constantly. Im 66 kilos but i rarely allow my opponents to smash me since the angles of these positions allow you to not be pinned. Its a journey learning to be un pinnable and its an exciting one.
I like his concepts, seem
I like his concepts, seem unorthodox at first but with enough practice you get comfortable in these scenarios

great
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Best defense
Keep yourself safe a counterattack. A good philosophy, especially for older grapplers
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗The most innovative way to look at bjj
Priit looks at bjj from a very unique perspective. Everytime I watch his lessons my mind turns upside-down. Everything looks new. I believe anyone that likes bjj has to give him a try.
Print is awesome. Simple instruction,
Print is awesome. Simple instruction, great techniques and I learned a lot.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗It's all about posture
Great to see someone putting posture at the center of his game. We all love fancy submisisons for extravagant positions, but posture is probably the most important asset to your game. I personally think the explanations were a bit long and could have been more condensed. Anyway, I do agree with the 'frames come with responsibilities' mindset. Probably will be watching more instructionals from Priit, or visit him to have a talk.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Brilliant
I really like this instructional as it introduces many postures that arent commonly known of yet. I think that in the not so distant future some of these postures will be more widely utilized and will change the way jiujitsu is played.
Postural positioning and movement concept
P. M. created an unique instructional about using and connecting solid postures to protect and progress. This.priciples and concepts of staying safe and progress your body positioned sideways aka running man is cinsidered as the basic structure and leads to hawking, panda (sitting turtle), stick and turtle. This concept is uderlined by protecting the hooks and creating angles during transitions. It is an toolkit with some examples when and how to use it so that yoz get ready to explore! Highly recommend!!
Great details
Great small details and approach jiujitsu with a different mindset
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Wildly efficient defensive postures
One of the three best videos I have ever purchased from BJJFanatics. The position names seem silly at first blush but don't be put off. Priit's work is based on a profound knowledge of grappling strategy. This will improve your game and let you have more on on the mat.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Unique and a must have
If you are past 50, coming back from a long layoff and banged up like myself, this is a must have. Even if you are too injured to generate a viable offense, this will improve your survival and escape skills.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Stuff
Lot of cool details and interesting concepts. Learned so much.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The runningman and the baby bridge: essential postures to keep you safe by Priit Mihkelson.
