Mount Like Never Before
New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Mounted Pin Attacks - The 4x4 Mount System by John Danaher
I don't think I ever realized how in depth the mount could be. It's one of the most basic pins and one with which I've had a love/hate relationship over the years so seeing all these new possibilities has really opened my eyes.

New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Open Guard vol 2: Sweeps and Reversals by John Danaher

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Bottom closed guard in depth
The Complete Williams Guard by Shawn Williams
These series suprised me a lot. In positive way of course. Shawn presents the concepts and explains in detail how to get to the domination and subs from bottom of the closed guard. What I like most is the breakdown of the small steps that needs to be make to get to the specific position. Also, he explains what to do in side scenarios, offering example attack/counter. I recommend this video to the low and high lewel belts in order to develop the broad bottom close guard game.

Exit The System by Garry Tonon
Goes through a bunch of useful submission escapes. The high elbow guillotine escape is priceless and got me out of dumb situations sooooo many times. Very easy for me to remember under hard rolling conditions. All seem biomechanically sound and energy efficient. This is a must-buy for anyone looking to have solid submission escapes

No Gi Berimbolo System Part 1 by Mikey Musumeci
I didn't used to implement berimbolo much but this instructional has changed that significantly, even in no-gi where I didn't think there were so many options. Mikey does a great job giving details and drills all the while showing the technique through various camera angles.

Passing the Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
I have tried a lot of instructionals but Danaher's courses are at another level. If you want to build a strong foundation, this is the way to go. The teachings are built around a system and properly conceptualized.The common pitfalls & troubleshooting are also covered. You incorporate directly into your game and you feel the difference within a few weeks of practice.

Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Bernardo Faria
Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic encyclopedia of basic BJJ techniques taught by a world champion. The organization of the course is a little hard to follow initially but does follow a logical sequence and structure. I use this more as a supplement to reference techniques I have been taught be may have forgotten some details. Very helpful as a beginner!

New Wave Jiu Jitsu: A New Philosophy Of Positional Escapes by John Danaher
It is honestly an incredibly amazing instructional with the many insights and impressive ways of thinking. Many of the techniques and philosophies that are seen by his students such as Gordon Ryan in competition are elegantly explained. This makes all the important concepts extremely easy to understand while still being ground breaking. Overall, this is a great instructional and I highly recommend it to students of any level as it will help to improve anyone’s game.

The Pillars of Defense: Turtle & Front Headlock Escapes by Gordon Ryan
After teaching us all the techniques that make up his offensive systems, we now get to learn Gordon Ryan's defensive systems as well. As impressive as it is to watch Gordon constantly dominate the best athletes in the jiu-jitsu world, it's even more impressive when you realize they're not able to attack him because of his flawless defensive system. We get to learn one part of that system in this instructional video.

Closed Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
This video has made an immediate impact on my BJJ. Mr. Danaher has a very logical and thoughtful approach to instruction and is very effective in communicating the nuisances of technique that I have been missing. I certainly can't claim that BJJ suddenly 'makes sense' to me at this early stage in my training after watching this video, but I at least know where I need to try and be. I am certain that as I improve and get more mat time, I can re-watch this video and find different points to take to training. Highly recommend!

New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Closed Guard - Building a Complete Closed Guard System by John Danaher

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:A good techniques based closed guard instructional (Long Review)
Next Generation Closed Guard by Mica Galvao
This is a technique based instructional for the closed guard bottom taught in the Gi. Techniques taught include going to the closed guard from standing; a series of submission and sweeping techniques from the cross grip/two-on-one; a series of submission and sweeping techniques after gaining the underhook and gripping the opponent’s lapel; the flower and hip bump sweeps including using these sweeps as an entry for other techniques; a series of wristlocks; and a series of sweeps for situations where the opponent stands in your guard. The content of this instructional is logically ordered. The instructional has a total runtime of 3 hours and 10 minutes. Mica Galvao effectively explains each technique, highlights the important details that make a technique work (e.g., grip breaks when doing the techniques) and includes a summary of the technique at the end of each chapter. The techniques are clearly demonstrated multiple times and Mica Galvao changes the camera view by moving generally to three different angles for the repetitions. Repetitions of demonstrations are consistent with each other. The video has been filmed with a single camera. In terms of video quality, the first thing that you will notice is that the sound quality is below average, with some obvious distortion when Mica Galvao is speaking and occasionally you can hear traffic noises. I assume that the problem is that Mica Galvao is too far from the microphone. This issue is apparent in the preview chapter of the product webpage. Lighting and focus are good, but the range could be better (i.e., the camera should be focused on the instructor and the uke with less background visible). Without the correct range it is more difficult to see the details of the technique, however at least the instructor and uke are wearing different coloured Gis. In summary, this is a good instructional teaching a series of useful and effective closed guard techniques. However, the content could have been further improved with the inclusion of material on how to maintain the closed guard. In my opinion Mica Galvao’s teaching was good, however it is a pity the quality of the sound recording wasn’t better, as for me at times this was a distraction. The next section of the review gives an overview of the content of this instructional, if this information interests you. Volume 1 includes the following techniques: gaining the closed guard through either a guard pull (x 2 techniques) and how to jump to closed guard; and from the cross grip/two-on-one several techniques including a back take, a cutting armbar, standard armbar, sweep, opposite side back take to the previous back take technique and a shoulder lock armbar to be used in situations where the opponent is holding their arm tightly against their body. Volume 2 includes the following techniques: after gaining the underhook and gripping the opponent’s lapel a simple choke, armbar, omaplata, pendulum sweep and if the opponent attempts to escape their arm from the underhook control, the Mir lock (a shoulder lock variant). Volume 3 includes the following techniques: two versions of the flower sweep; an armbar off a failed flower sweep; using a flower sweep as an entry to attack with a triangle choke; a standard kimura; a hip bump sweep, if the opponent defends an attempted kimura; a triangle choke if the opponent defends a hip bump sweep; a wristlock if the opponent places a hand in your armpit; a wristlock if the opponent is attempting to control one of your arms; and a wristlock if the opponent holds your belt. Volume 4 includes the following techniques for situations where the opponent stands up in your guard: the classic muscle sweep; the omaplata sweep, as a response to the muscle sweep being defended; the roll back version of the omaplata sweep to deal with a posturing opponent; a reverse muscle sweep for the situation where the opponent steps back to avoid the muscle sweep; the balloon sweep to move directly to the mount; the mermaid sweep where you close your guard around the opponent’s legs at knee height to sweep them to the side while maintaining control of both sleeves; a version of the mermaid sweep where you have control of only one of the opponent’s sleeves; and the double ankle control version of the mermaid sweep for situations where you don’t have grips on the opponent’s sleeves.
Great instructional
