“There are just too many BJJ instructional choices!”
I hear this a lot, so I put together a buyer’s guide for you.
Scroll down, and if anything resonates with you, check out the instructional links.
Q: Do you struggle to find time to train?
Focus on using the very best training methods to make all your training time productive with the approach used in BJJ Games and BJJ Foundations.
Q: Are you looking for a cheat code to beat traditional Brazilian jiu-jitsu, including black belts?
Work on your leglocks by grabbing The Ultimate Leglock Package (already a great deal, but apply code ‘Birthday’ at checkout and it’ll be an amazing deal).
Q: Are you over 40 and still want to hang with the young punks?
Consider getting the BJJ for Old F***s package. It’s got everything you need… except Metamucil and Viagra.
Q: Do you like concepts more than techniques?
If so, grab The Black Belt Concepts Course and The BJJ Formula, and you’ll understand BJJ at a whole different level.
Q: Do you want more Stephan Kesting in your face?
Check out my latest two instructionals on the Omoplata and the Rolling Backtake. I’m clearly biased and not very objective, but I think they’re pretty damn good.
Q: Are you a white or blue belt who wants to build your game on a solid underpinning?
Check out A Roadmap for BJJ and BJJ Foundations. The combination of techniques, concepts and drills should serve you well!
Q: Are you worried about getting outmuscled and smashed by bigger people on the mat?
Check out How to Defeat the Bigger, Stronger Opponent Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3. These have helped so many smaller grapplers…
Q: Are you competing this year?
The drills in BJJ Games and the strategies in 30 Second Fight Finishes may just get you to the top of the podium
Q: Are you mostly interested in self defense?
If protecting yourself on the street is your primary goal then definitely check out The Self Defense Guard and the Precision Kickboxing Formula.
Q: Do you follow Jon Thomas, one of the top black belt instructors in the world today?
I have produced two amazing instructionals with Jon, which are required watching if you like his concise, no-nonsense approach to building effective BJJ gameplans: The Closed Guard System and The Open Guard System.
Q: Do you want to smash pesky guard players?
If so check out The Pressure Passing System by the legendary Fabio Gurgel and BJJ for Old F***s Volume 2, Passing the Guard (especially the tripod passing section) by Rob Biernacki and myself.
Q: Are you stuck in a rut?
You need a quick win, and fortunately I’ve got you covered. The two areas in BJJ where you get the biggest immediate return on investment are gripfighting and guard retention, so work on those!
Hope this helps with your training!
