• Dark side of Jiujitsu

  Really well structured and explained and gives an insight into Lovatos MMA game. Best suited for the intermediate and advanced MMA player and it comes at a very high price level, but it might be the best instructional on the topic available.

• MMA application of BJJ

  One of the best instructional on BJJ for MMA that isn’t overly wrestling focused. Covers all the basics, and then some more of the details that Lovato specifically uses like the Cayote guard. He’s a great teacher, and it’s proven stuff.

• Fight to Win

  No joke! Who do you want to learn from? This guy is one of the most-decorated Black Belts in Jiu Jitsu (full-stop); he's undefeated in MMA & he's a Bellator World Champion... These videos are applicable for Tournaments or the Street.
