Billy Robinson...rulezzzz
Catch Wrestling Takedowns by Jake Shannon
Unfassbar viele Techniken und alles erklärt anhand der Catch Prinzipien und Regeln nach Billy Robinson. Danke Jake und Sam für das teilen dieses Wissen. Ich finde es ist jeden Cent wert und jeder kann gute sachen übernehmen die zu einem passen und den Gegner überraschen und Catch prinzipien in sein Grappling einzubauen. Es ist so schade das Catch nicht viel bekannter ist. Aber man sieht immer mehr davon in dem Game der Leute

Useful input for movement and transitions
Creating Scrambles From Everywhere by Achilles Rocha
Some interesting ideas for scrambles and dynamic transitions. Nothing spectacular, but solid and practical. I especially found the concepts from half guard well explained and easy to follow. Overall presented in a calm and straightforward way, which I personally appreciate. If you're looking to explore movement and control from a slightly different angle, there's definitely something to take away here.
Good Stuff
Ginastica Natural by Álvaro Romano
Good movements and interesting stretching methods. You can tell he has spent years working on this. Alvaro Romano is the best proof himself of what the program can achieve. Well explained with solid alternatives. Great for any grappler who wants to experience movement from a different perspective.

Gordan Ryans Brain
Systematically Attacking The Guard: Half Guard Passing by Gordon Ryan
Gordan Ryans opponents talk about it feeling like Gordan has a strategy for every possible escape/attack they have. This instructional is that, the guy literally covers everything within half and responses you can give. He also gives a little wiggle room, offering a few different responses allowing you to pick your favorite. I'm not a Gordan Ryan fanboy, but this is pretty much the best Half Guard instructional I've seen. I've bought Danahers, Giles, Craig Jones (he had a section in Just Stand Up), etc..... Gordans is the best. It covers lots of small details that I felt like I was missing. Because he covers so much it can be a pretty long instructional, but the first section covers a general overview of the strategies he uses so you get a foundational understanding of Half Guard passing and then you can pick through sections based on your needs (problems you encounter in the Gym).

Female representation
Beginners Guide To BJJ by Joanna Ziobronowicz
As a woman and the women’s Jiu-Jitsu coach at our gym, I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to have female instructors to learn from and look up to. Joanna breaks down fundamental techniques with such clarity. My only critique would be the volume levels; clearer audio at one level would make her instruction even more accessible.
Catch Wrestling with Weapons!
Weapons Based Grappling Fundamentals by Rico Cortes
I loved this deeply! This was a fascinating exploration of grappling with weapons. I particularly liked Tuhon Cortes' catch wrestling influence. I loved the practical drills and skills taught here. I absolutely love to see BJJ Fanatics introduce more FMA for self defense, and this is a great blend of grappling and weapons combat.
Great detail on the leg control
The Pendejo Guard by Craig Jones
I also had seen this game played by Pato and thought bad about watching Craigs version at first. But I saw some video from back in the day where Craig played the position similarly and the mention of Pato was more like a shout out to a great grappler. So I gave it a try and the details stuck with me for over a year.

Good instructional
Lasso From Everywhere by Vinicius Lino
Vinicius Lino's instructional on the Lasso Guard is more than just a collection of techniques; it's a profound exploration of guard retention principles, beautifully demonstrated through the lens of a highly effective open guard system. As a BJJ expert, I find Lino's approach to align perfectly with the foundational concepts articulated by luminaries like John Danaher and Gordon Ryan, making this instructional invaluable for practitioners seeking to truly "unpassable" guards. At its core, Lino's Lasso Guard epitomizes the concept of "Connection and Control," which the "Índice del Libro" defines as the "tactile language of control." By precisely threading the leg deep through the opponent's arm and around their back, Lino establishes a skeletal frame that is both incredibly strong and difficult to disrupt. This isn't just about obtaining a grip; it's about creating a superior "framing architecture" that dictates the opponent's posture and balance. This direct, uncompromising connection denies the passer the crucial "space to move" – the very prerequisite for any successful guard pass, as Danaher emphasizes. Lino's meticulous attention to detail in securing this primary connection ensures the guard player is not merely reacting but proactively imposing their will. A standout feature of this instructional is Lino's emphasis on "Space Management" and "Angles and Direction." The Lasso hook, when executed with Lino's precision, acts as a powerful lever, allowing the guard player to maintain the optimal "sweet spot" distance while constantly off-balancing the opponent. This proactive disruption of the passer's base and posture is a cornerstone of effective guard retention. It denies the passer the ability to achieve the critical "cranial shift" and chest exposure that Danaher identifies as key objectives for a guard passer. Lino shows how to continuously redirect the opponent's weight and momentum, forcing them into perpetual states of readjustment rather than allowing them to solidify their passing pressure. Furthermore, Lino's system showcases a relentless fight for "Inside Position" of the arms, a concept heavily advocated by Gordon Ryan. By isolating and controlling one of the opponent's arms within the Lasso, the guard player immediately gains a significant positional advantage. This control directly compromises the opponent's ability to establish strong frames, achieve head and shoulder control, or drive forward with pressure. The instructional vividly illustrates how this isolation creates avenues for the guard player to transition from a defensive posture into highly potent offensive attacks. Crucially, Lino's Lasso Guard is presented not as a static defensive shell, but as a dynamic platform for offense. This aligns perfectly with Gordon Ryan's philosophy that guard retention's "ultimate goal is not just to defend, but to rapidly transition from a defensive cycle to an offensive one, preventing the guard passer from maintaining constant unopposed pressure". From the intricately controlled Lasso, Lino unveils a seamless flow into high-percentage sweeps, opportune back takes, and even direct submission threats. The instructional teaches how to leverage the controlled arm and disrupted balance to initiate these offensive sequences with devastating efficiency. This holistic approach transcends mere defense, showcasing the Lasso as a sophisticated system designed to achieve the "objective final" of Jiu-Jitsu: working towards submission through superior control. In conclusion, Vinicius Lino's Lasso Guard instructional is a must-have for anyone serious about elevating their guard game. It’s an expert-level breakdown that reinforces fundamental BJJ principles, providing actionable strategies for connection, space management, limb control, and offensive transitions. Its effectiveness underscores the idea that truly "unpassable guards" are built on a deep understanding and fluid application of foundational concepts, not just isolated techniques, making Lino's Lasso an indispensable addition to any grappler's arsenal.

Underestimated art of passing
The São Paulo Passing System by Leonardo Nogueira
I like this kind of paisering. Definitely worth a look for Gi players. For people who mainly train no-Gi, it's better to avoid it. there are others who have adapted this type of passing to no-gi.

Grand Master Leg Locks by Gokor Chivichyan
Gokar an old master shares his knowledge. I am a fanboy of the Hayastan grappling system and find that it flies under the radar like so much else. Subtlety, good ideas and inspiration. I think it's good. Technically well explained and even with a lot of experience you learn a lot. Old school, new school...doesn't matter...timeless is right
