Guillotine Choke Systems by Dante Leon
I like the way Dante explains his guillotine choke system. Very easy to apply. Great stuff.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Side Control Manual (No Gi) and beyond
Side Control Dominance by Andre Galvao
It's about 9 hours of Galvao teaching No Gi. It's better than you're even thinking. This never came out as a new release, I'm noticing this a lot right now.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Turns out hand fighting is a must know skill for any grappler
Effective Hand Fighting Explained by Georgi Ivanov
The principles explained by Georgi are truly making the difference in my standup wrestling and they are so fundamental that can be applied to all other areas of grappling as well

Off With Their Head: The Arm Triangle by Neil Melanson
Another gem from Neil packed with game changing techniques and details. For someone who trains BJJ alongside MMA, Neil's grappling style is just the perfect combo of high level details mixed with filthy pressure and submissions.

Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
I now feel like I know how to escape all of the main pins. Furthermore, when I can't remember the specific escapes during rolling, I fall back on the general five step approach. The instruction is incredibly clear. All the escapes work for both Gi and NoGi. I feel much more confident in my ability to escape pins after watching this.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Solid Instructional
Fundamental Armbar Mechanics by Karel "Silver Fox" Pravec
Solid instructional, Karel is a great teacher who strings complicated ideas/techniques together well. I do have one critique (hence the 4 instead of 5 stars), but I don’t think it should stop you from buying this instructional. Getting to and maintaining the “armpit grip” could use more focus. I guarantee its my own ineptness that keeps me from getting it, but without that grip I cant use a lot of the devastating arm bars Karel shows
Response from BJJ FanaticsThanks for your review! :hugging:Good aggressive open guard attacks
The Aggressive Open Guard No Gi by Johnny Tama
If you want to learn about reverse de la riva this is a great video series that covers a lot of info and shows how to deal with common counters. It also has some interesting details and positions that I haven't seen before. A lot of the basic techniques I was able to add into my game right away. Although I would have liked it broken up and labeled a bit more clearly, overall it offers a lot of great content.
Response from BJJ FanaticsThanks for your review! :hugging:Danaher did it again
Self Mastery: Solo BJJ Training Drills by John Danaher
This instructional was top notch. I didn’t realize how much some shrimp work and some of these other movements would drastically improve my game. Def worth the time. And worth all the $$ when they start charging for it again
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Great
Fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Escapes Gi & No Gi by Lachlan Giles
Tremendous instructional from lachlan Has helped me so much in my defence an escapes my whole understanding of my positional awareness in defending has increased greatly would definitely recommend
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Gordon does an excellent job
Systematically Attacking The Back by Gordon Ryan
Gordon does an excellent job and very thorough in teaching. You can tell he put time and thought into the project. I’ve also purchased attacking the guard and turtle. A lot of the moves overlap but that’s a good thing. It fits together in your mind like pieces of a puzzle. I will purchase Gordon’s guard video once I’ve had a few more times to take in the information I already have.

General Introduction to Mirroring Principle by Wim Deputter
If you want to improve your bottom positional game, you need to watch this.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Innovative while simultaneously going back to BJJ’s roots
The Mirroring Principle: Fundamental Self Defense by Wim Deputter
For me a martial art should be based on general principles, work for self defense, and tested in combat sports. That is a lot to ask for. Wim Deputter managed somehow to do all this in his approach to BJJ & put it on video. The Mirroring Principle is getting more and more acknowledged by the BJJ community as THE underlying principle of all BJJ techniques. It teaches you timing and pressure. The when and how. The Mirroring Principle has been proven in competition. Wim is a former JJIF World Champion, former MMA fighter and a grappling competitor who is mostly active in the European scene. He tested his stuff in deep waters. Now, he demonstrates in this video for the first time how he uses his knowledge for self defenses. Not only technique is explained. He goes in detail on which training methods work. Wim also talks about the often forgotten pre-fight sequences that occur and how to de-escalate them. I strongly recommend this video if you are looking for an approach for self defense. But if you are already a grappler worried about how to use your mat skills in the real world, this is a must have.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Fantastic system
Passing The Butterfly/Seated Guard by Talita Alencar
Talita is a very clear teacher. Her approach to passing these guards is very unique, and effective. She approaches itcin a way I haven't seen before which completely negates their guard through body movement/position so that you are not relying on strength at all.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Wish I could stream to a tv
Introduction To BJJ by Bernardo Faria
I have an apple phone and multiple chromecasts but you’re videos aren’t able to Streamed to a tv. It would make it so much easier to train and drill along if I watch it on a larger screen that I don’t have to hold. Any way to get that in the works?
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great content for learning no-gi standup!
Precision Foot Sweeps by Steve Mocco
Great content. I liked the fact he went through the foot sweep setups and applied them to other takedown pathways. I found this super applicable to No-Gi BJJ
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Well worth the price

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Still pretty new to BJJ
Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
Still pretty new to BJJ with about 3 months under my belt. The Danaher videos were recommended to me, but due to the price, I had to start with one at a time. So glad I picked this one. I feel like the instructions are easy to follow and it helps build confidence having specific moves/strategies to develop and work on. Looking forward to making my second Danaher purchase soon.
Response from BJJ FanaticsNice! This series with no doubt will be the foundation of your BJJ. We wish you all the best! :hugging:Like all of Craig's instructionals

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Enjoying reworking basics
High Level Fundamentals by Gregor Gracie
Gregor does a very good job working through the fundamentals. i like that it is kept simple, but still has some details. i’m rewatchung it now to practice the details.Surprisingly it is missing a few of the fundamentals, the most important being escapes from pins, but Danaher has a great video on pin and turtle escapes. as well, I was a little bit surprised in the production value in that there were some key areas where they could’ve easily edited out some behind the scenes type commentary but didn’t bother to do so.
Typical Danaher attention to detail.
Strangles & Turtle Breakdowns: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
Typical Danaher attention to detail. I committed to all things Danaher after his appearance on the Joe Rogan experience. This was just another critical piece to my BJJ puzzle. As a guy in his mid 40s and a dad, time is precious. The going further, faster series allows me to streamline my game and maximize my mat time.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Implemented these concepts the next training session!!

Great instructional dvd !
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Submission escapes
Submission Escapes by Tom DeBlass
Comprehensive collection of escapes that will give your defense a boost. The techniques are suitable for everyone, no need to be very flexible etc. Tom is an all round good guy and this is my 3rd video by him. Also follow him on social media ;-) Due to corona restirctions I teach 2 blue belts and a white belt and videos like these are very good to use as an information base and instructional.

The Ground And Pound Safety Manual by Javier Vazquez
Great video, very happy with purchase. Knowing how to defend from strikes from bottom position is a must. Sadly! Not many schools teach or practice these techniques. This video will add to your arsenal.

Foundation of Lethwei by Dave Leduc
A must buy if your a fan of striking. The video quality is great and the content is easy to follow. I specially enjoyed how Dave, demonstrated a technique with its purpose and then would show a clip of his real fights of the technique in action. Highly recommend.

Train With Your Kids by Joel Bouhey
I loved the translate from bjj techniques to kids games. I have a 4y boy and 2y girl, and both of them quickly understood the dynamics and we enjoy playing and training on daily basis
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Movements make moves
Self Mastery: Solo BJJ Training Drills by John Danaher
I love John Danahers teaching style. Here, he explains the why behind each move and exercise. As a purple belt, I knew some of the moves of course, yet his teachings explained new ways to use some of them, such as the reverse shrimp, or the best way to bridge for BJJ. I walked away feeling I had a better understanding of the why behind each move, and how to execute them efficiently. I’ve been benefiting from the toes to bar exercise as well, which I had never incorporated into my workouts before.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great details and finish options!

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Xande's diamond guard concept
Diamond Concept: The Diamond Guard Frame, Shield, Elegant, Pedal by Xande Ribeiro
Xande's concept of guard defense it's been an eye opening for me, his way of describing it is world class and it's a must have for anybody cause in my opinion is the foundation of any player
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Very impressed
Gas On The Mat by Jason Khalipa
I purchased this video after downloading and using Jason’s other DVD (free) to get into a training routine with dumbbells. I was really impressed with the way Jason explained and demonstrated all of the technical aspects of performing the lifts, even though I have spent a few years going regularly to boot camp sessions. Anyway I’m looking forward to incorporating some of the exercises from this video into my training.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:International Systems = Learn
Total International Takedown Systems by Valentin Kalika
In my limited experience with point system wrestling, I think via BJJ and a lifetime of different striking arts I can see patterns just the same. I would imagine the people that buy these are seeking NEW information, and nothing is quite as frustrating as spending money and watching along thinking "teach me something". Valentin is a highly credentialed coach and clearly still a student of the game. For example as part of the front headlock series he even credits the origin of different approaches and which approach has value when. I don't think Sadulaev or Geduev are making DVD's anytime soon, so we go with what we know and have, and I find the Eastern Bloc type approach somewhat playful and whimsical, more focused on technique than cauliflower ears. For myself, the jab cross left hook into low kick is wonderful, but you need to know Ernesto Hoost (free plug) approach to that, and it shouldn't be mandatory on every striking DVD. You must learn the Dutchie from the Dutch, and Thai Boxing from the Thai's. Western Boxing in the west is where it all culminates, like all the aforementioned. I'd imagine everyone from the MMA coach to the collegiate hopeful could learn something here, excellent run of wrestling videos lately. This is highly recommended and packs a lot of information in a relatively small $ space.
