Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Basic
The Perfect Lifting Workout by Nick Rodriguez
The techniques are nothing new but I think the methodology is superior to most as it focuses more on strength endurance and stamina which are far more applicable to BJJ the low rep/max strength or pure bodybuilding that a lot of BJJ practitioners fall into to the detriment of their BJJ effectiveness.
Provides a specific answer to a specific question
The Ground And Pound Safety Manual by Javier Vazquez

Simple Judo Takedowns For BJJ Digital Only by Matt D'Aquino
Matt is clearly a master of Judo however I think a lot of the techniques he teaches in this instructional could only be pulled of in competitive BJJ if you have world class judo or if your opponents takedown defence is clearly lacking, to his credit he does mention when the techniques are low percentage or higher risk but that seems to make up a good portion of the content.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:A new contender for my favorite Neil Melanson instructional
Filthy Cross Body Attacks by Neil Melanson
Out of the 6 instructionals I own from Coach Neil, his arm triangle one (Off With Their Head) is my favorite... but this Filthy Cross Body Attacks instructional gives that one a run for its money. I'm probably stating the obvious when I say that offense from top side control has to be one of the most popular topics in BJJ. However, what I feel sets this instructional apart are the methods of controlling an opponent that Coach Neil teaches. Those methods might be a little more physical and hands-on that what's commonly taught, but in my opinion, that's what's needed when you're rolling with people who are stronger and more explosive than you, and just want to escape -- they don't necessarily care about proper technique or if it looks pretty. I especially like the tight waist position and turn-away sequence from this instructional. All of your favorite Coach Neil submissions are in here, such as the arm triangle, Turk choke, and switch D'arce. He even gives a couple of new pointers for the arm triangle that I found helpful. I prefer using chokes over joint locks, but Coach Neil's way of doing the spinning armbar makes me want to actually use that technique in sparring now. If you're already a fan of Coach Neil's instructionals, I recommend this one because I think it does a really good job of providing context for techniques he's shown in other instructionals and links the techniques together well.

Easy to follow videos!
Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Bernardo Faria
Excellent videos. Bernardo’s lessons are very easy to follow. As a white belt I’m always looking for something easy to incorporate into my evening training, none of these overly complex moves that I see some of the higher belts pulling off (on me usually lol), which still don’t make sense to me just yet. These lessons feel like the foundation I need.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great for beginners
Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher

I would recommend this to everybody that enjoyed and plays worm guard as it will make your game have significantly more depth.

The 50/50 Arm Passing System: Gi by Leo Vieira
Really interesting instructional- it's different than most, in the sense that it's a thorough primer on an alternate approach to gi passing; this course doesn't feel like a different version of something that's already out there, it feels like all new stuff. It's really exciting to see a great coach like Professor Vieira apply core jiujitsu principles in novel & interesting ways, this course really opened my mind to different tactics to apply in the training room in the near future, it's full of cool ideas.
