• The Ultimate Takedown Series: Gripping & Kuzushi

  As long as you know what you are getting, this is an absolutely amazing instructional. It has a very narrow focus - specifically covers gripping, off-balancing, and stance but is like a phD level coverage of the topic. Assuming that is what you are looking for, I can't think of anything possibly better

• The missing link

  This video is the missing link across takedowns/throws of all styles. Too often the form of a throw is all that is shown, but Stevens breaks down all the little moves necessary to break balance. One of the best videos I have watched. I plan to rewatch it several times.

• The Ultimate Takedown Series with Travis Stevens

  I am loving it so far! It’s helped my grip fighting and kuzushi tremendously. When practicing takedowns before, I struggled with getting the takedowns started. Now, I am more confident in initiating grips and causing off balance. Huge fan of Travis Stevens!

• The Ultimate Takedown Series Volume 1: Gripping & Kuzushi

  Travis Stevens provides grip control insight not shared in other instructionals. He teaches how to not only control with grips, but also touches on how to negate your opponent's grips. Very helpful

• Best stand up instructional

  I've purchased a few stand up instructionals now, including from Judo fanatics, but the level of useful details in this one is perfect, it's aimed perfectly at BJJ practitioners with little to no information. Genuinely fantastic with achievable goals for developing an effective stand up game.

• Filling holes in my game

  Really good explanation on the mindset of the different arts and the reasons of why they do certain movements. I've just been watching while I'm working on rehabbing a shoulder injury, but I feel like this instructional made a few things click together in my head on why certain things weren't working for me. Can't wait to get back and start implementing it into my game.

• My most rewatched instructional as a BJJ and Judo student

  When I decided to be well rounded and stop pulling guard, I went in search of instructionals that could help me with the basics. The problem is most focus on the takedown or throwing technique. That's fine if you have some foundational knowledge. But I was starting from scratch and this set from Travis was exactly what I needed to learn how to move myself and my partner, how to grip, how to treat RvR and RvL etc. I started Judo 6 months after practicing the contents in here and found myself to not be so lost!
