I work in the martial arts industry and I have a professional interest in products like this. This is simply one of the best grappling/bjj resources I have ever seen.
Its is highly professional and well structured course in BJJ. The approach, breakdown of techniques and teaching methodology is flawless.This is vital on any distance learning approach and in reality the standard of teaching via this video will be higher than at many clubs.
Some people may attempt to dismiss it but its really good and a really great way to learn. With time, and a partner it is entirely possible to develop great foundation skills for your ground game with this programme.
Shortfalls
I disagree with some of the opinions put forward as fact. Less than half of all street fights go to the ground. We research violence and aggression and found less than 39% do (adjusting for those who took the attacker to ground for restraint). Of those BJJ was academic as they were knocked down and attacked by a group. We found typically the victim is struck from the side or behind. But that aside, in a 1-2-1 situation or match fight the effectiveness of BJJ is unquestionable.
Conclusion
I question some of the techniques for the average man on the street - you should escape and run away asap not work for a prolonged ground offensive ;-( but, this is a truly excellent resource and with practice you can learn some great skills.
The best of its genre by far, well done the Gracies.
