Excellent details and follow ups for escaping side control and knee on belly. Excellent details and explanations.
Excellent video series. Gives you answers to what to do when they counter the common escapes. Also plenty of options for escaping and knee on belly
I was looking to add material to my classes and this tutorial is great with a good explanation.
Ante Dzolic gives clear details on moves most upper belts know but may have forgotten. I use these videos from time to time to help fill holes in my BJJ and find the moves are all traditional solid BJJ tried and true. I strongly recommend all of his videos if you want a solid foundation to work off of. He puts the moves together in a way where you can work them in series instead of at random. It is important to know when to use them and that is what he is helping with in his presentation.
Lots of great escapes!
Easy to follow and fundamental concepts, helpful for beginners
A lot of great information to review while I'm recovering from an Injury.
This is what I like. Tons of techniques that you can try and settle on what suits your style. Good angles and quality filming.
excellent content, always can depend on professor Dzolic
Enjoy all of Antes videos, very comprehensive and packed with content for the price
my favourite instructional - all my favourite escapes all in one place!
Ante is awesome. This series of side and knee on belly escapes is extremely comprehensive. I highly recommend any of his videos because you definitely get a lot of value for your investment.
Nice plan of escapes from side and knee on stomach with counters to specific situations.
I got this because I have trouble in bottom side control. It helped and continues to help me many months after buying it. Learning a couple “head side” escapes really helped my basic leg side recovery rates and vice versa. I never heard of Ante when I bought this but he is an awesome teacher with great technique. I was able to apply his teachings with success right after watching. I’m a big fan of his teaching and bought a couple more of his instructionals because I liked this one so much....he’s one of the best values on this site. Do yourself a favor and buy this.
I am a fan of Ante Dzolic’s work. I have bought all his instructionals to date (March 2021) because he covers the material that I am interested in; the techniques are good and from my experience they work; the material is logically structured; he is a good teacher who doesn’t take himself too seriously; the video quality is good (i.e. picture, sound, angles and range); and importantly to me each instructional represents excellent value for money. Normally I write longish reviews for the BJJ Fanatics products that I have bought, but not today as hardly anyone reads them and it takes too much time. Please have a look at the list of chapters / techniques and you can see that this instructional thoroughly covers escapes from side control, kata gatame and modified kata gatame, and knee on belly both standard and reverse. If you are currently getting pinned and crushed, then don’t hesitate. Your progression will be easier and perhaps quicker if you can efficiently and effectively escape or reverse pins. If you watch, absorb and most importantly practice this material, rolling will be so much more fun and isn’t this what BJJ should be – Fun.
