Pressure passing for simple minded guard player
Pressure Passing and Top Game by Rafael Lovato
First of all i have to confess that I am still trying to get the material on the first dvd into a working state. But just the modified headquarters position was quite a chance for me. Definitely worth looking into and I am looking forward to the rest of the lessons.
Holistic approach to learning
New Wave Jiu Jitsu: No Gi Half Guard 3 Directions of Attack by John Danaher
Professor John provides a clear and complete explanation of the position and different elements of it. Truly an essential introductional for practitioners looking for developing a more holistic game. Body weight distribution, frames, setting up a strong base, maximizing the use of levers, among other topics are great inside and very useful. A most for any practitioner! Thank you Professor John :call_me_hand:

Wildman Mobility by Mark Wildman
Being ****** with my mobility I tried to do yoga and other flows in the morning, but they didn't feel like it. Wildman's six mobility sequences are in the sweet spot to be effective and make one better prepared for the day without taking too much effort or time. Every sequence is precisely 12 minutes long, so you can plan your morning routine easily. I do it almost every morning for a couple of months now and really like the feeling I have after going through the movements. It's not the magic pill though. It won't cure cancer and make you be able to do side splits between two trucks. But if you want to get rid of tensions typical for waking up after jits, get limber in the most important planes of movement for BJJ player, and feel better overall, it will be very helpful.

Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
I've trained for just around 2 years on and off. I learned a lot of what I know through YouTube and from more senior students. My professor did not go through anywhere near the detail shared in this series. I never even learn about insertion points when recovering guard! I was that student trying to recover from side control and getting my knee jammed into their thighs and knees. I hated the hip escape because it felt so useless against skilled opponents. That's so much explained that makes so much sense here. I wish I had these videos when I started. John really makes you feel like he cares about your success. The pin escape videos are second to NONE.

The Best Marcelo Garcia Techniques Taught By His Black Belt Instructors by Team Marcelo Garcia
MGA has some of the best coaches in the business. Second only to in-person instruction at the academy in Chelsea are these videos. Along with first class jiu-jitsu, 100% of the proceeds goes toward defraying Marcelo's medical and travel expenses associated with his cancer care (he lives in Hawaii, but is being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC).
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Comprehensive Closed Guard System
The Gracie Secrets: Closed Guard by Kyra Gracie
I was looking for a closed guard Gi instructional that covered everything: Grips, Breaking posture, Sweeps, Submission systems. The reviews were really good and it looked like what i was looking for but I wasn't familiar with Kyra as an instructor. But I figured I could just return it if it wasn't what I expected. Once I started it, I ended up watching the entire tutorial all the way through because i really enjoyed it. Every time I rewatch a part on something I'm working on, I pick up another tip. Little tips she gives make a huge difference in how my training partners react to my closed guard (how to apply your weight on one side while they attempt to get up 😀, or the grip break on a common frame to get into the overhook attack system). Highly recommend this for anyone working on their full guard.
Great starting point to learn singles and doubles
Offensive Wrestling For Jiu Jitsu Volume 1: Basic Singles and Doubles by Dante Leon
Great basic system for takedown game. You going to find in this DVD how to set up, shoot for, and finish singles and doubles. Lot's of useful details and concepts without being overwhelming. It's definitely not an in depth encyclopedia, but one will find here everything he needs to learn about basic takedowns and how to implement them in one's game from the day one. Highly recommend it for those who are looking for a starting point to build their takedown game.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Really comprehensive DLR system
Dynamic De La Riva Guard by Otavio Sousa
I wanted to get an instructional with high percentage system for DLR guard because I tend to land in it so often and Mr. Sousa's DVD appeared to be the perfect match. After watching it only once I was able to hit some moves in the sparring, so now I'm actively working through these techniques in depth and I'm really happy that I decided to buy it. It's not a beginner instructional, but the techniques here are quite simple to learn fast and effective enough to be rewarded with hitting them on your opponents while rolling straight away. They seem to me to be especially good for strong and heavy guys who love to play guard. Highly recommended for those who want to level up their DLR game and are looking for a starting point.

Unlocking The Secrets Of The Mount Position by Pedro Sauer
This is a very good instructional video. It goes in depth into all components of the mount position. Including counters to different methods that maybe utilized against you. It just so happened that the day I viewed this video we had a visitor at our academy and we were practicing positional sparing. I was paired with the visitor and we went 2 rounds each alternating mount positions. I have never felt so much control of my opponent while in mount. This video gave me the tools to dominate someone that was bigger and with whom I have never trained with. Rarely have I experienced such drastic and immediate results from a video.

Deconstructing The Double Sleeve Guard by Romulo Barral
Professor Romulo shows a very detailed system of passing the spider guard and its variations. He explains what the guard player will attempt to do once you break grips or start a pass and then how you will be able to counter their next move. This instructional does move pretty fast so you will want to watch a small amount at a time or watch it and drill it while you are on the mat.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:The Side Theory Of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Tony Pacenski
The Side Theory Of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Tony Pacenski
Solid concepts and techniques, particularly for beginners looking for a simple, guiding idea to build an offensive guard game around. In this case: (1) focusing on one side of the body, (2) securing a dominant (out-)side angle. Some conceptual overlap with Aaron Benzrihem's "Basics To Advanced: Open Guard Engagement," but it has a different focus and contains more specific techniques. (Honestly recommend getting both products together if possible.) My favorite technique from this product is Pacenski's transition to the side closed guard off of a scissor sweep setup [Part 3, "Single Sleeve & Collar Side Dominance | New Angle of Attack (AOA)"]. This really got me thinking about how I (under-)utilize hip movement and angle changes as an offensive measure, and how I might turn a very basic technique like the scissor sweep into a well-rounded position full of possibilities rather than a one-off move that everyone sees coming and immediately shuts down or counters.

Very informative instructional. Does a good job of explaining which moves to use for specific situations. Also, shows why certain commonly used moves don't work under certain conditions, and thus how you can counter someone if they try it on you.
