The reviews

• Turning defensive cycles into offensive cycles by Chris Paines

  Really useful material. Chris has a unique way of looking at BJJ and simplifying it which makes totally sense.

  Ilie P.March 8, 2026RomaniaVerified buyerBlue belt7-9 yrs training

• Great concepts

  Posture, balance, defense, offensive: it's all in this instructional. More concepts than techniques, and with that a lot more valuable than only 'moves'.

  It's ok not a lot of techniques

• Turning defensive cycles into 0ffenseive belts

  Chris puts out the best products. These concepts are game changers

  Allen H.August 29, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Jiujitsu Finally Simplified

  Chris simplifies jiujitsu with concept teaching rather than a focus on moves. A lot of these concepts are gold dust and will improve your jiujitsu by years. I wish I'd watched this instructional at the very start of my Jiujitsu journey!

• Amazing.........again

  Chris Paines is an anomaly. His instructionals are short and don't teach techniques yet they might be the best instructionals on Fanatics. The reason I say this is because when I take one of his concepts onto the mats and focus on it I notice an immediate improvement in my game and I find myself doing things that are in fact techniques which I've never practiced but I arrived at them not by drilling or thinking about the technique but rather by focusing on a more general guiding principle as outlined by Mr Paines. I am a big Danaher and Gordon Ryan fan as those instructionals have their place but don't sleep on this one. I don't think you'll find a better value anywhere for making real, lasting improvements to your grappling. Of course like any instructional it's what YOU do with it. Find a partner and put some time into it and your learning curve will go up.
