The reviews

• I wish there were more of these.

  I have all of Whittiers first principle instructionals and every one is a gem. It may not be sexy but you get the most improvement and increase in enjoyment from developing defense. These have made Jiu-Jitsu way more enjoyable and now I’m much more relaxed as the game has slowed down.

  Incredible instructional that will change the way you see armbar escapes.

• Incredible

  After watching enough of these you start to see they are all related. I highly recommend this one along with the CHOKE Escapes as they compliment each other very well.

• Getting out of armbars is fun!

  Yeah I actually like letting people take me into deeper waters with armbars now just so I can work my escapes. Highly recommend this one

• Principles First

  If you want to learn phenomenal techniques then buy Danahers videos. If you want to learn principles that once understood you can apply in many different aspects of your game and which will continue to surprise you with their usefulness then check out Whittier. I am finding this first principal style of learning to be easier to remember and apply than trying to remember a bunch of different techniques. That being said you will get the most use out of whatever you train against live resistance that is uncooperative and unscripted. So get Whittiers instructionals and a good training partner and practice these escapes against progressive levels of uncooperative resistance and your defensive Jiujitsu abilities will skyrocket. You cannot go wrong with this.

• Armbar Escapes

  This is a BJJ Professor who really understands jiu jitsu and the deeper concepts behind just ‘the moves’. I have known Stephen for several years now and have several of his instructionals. I learn something from all of them and encourage you white to black belt to get a hold of this one and his other instructionals.
