I'm a brown belt, 10+ years of training and have had the privilege of watching plenty of DVDs and attending seminars from many coaches in Brazil, and some foreign ones. That being said, I have purchased 5 of John's DVDs and have attended two of his classes and I can say, without a doubt, he is the best, most articulate coach, with the best material and best teaching skills in the world, bar none.

I've had the privilege of doing a few privates with him (a buddy of mine brought me along as the training dummy) and can say there isn't a human being on the planet that has more BJJ knowledge or the ability to pass it along like John. I've been doing BJJ since 2003 and when I did my 1st private in 2016 he showed me how to do a RNC significantly more effective & that's one of the 1st moves you learn when you start.

@hideomituns2184 2 жыл бұрын

I spent 2 years plus learning BJJ. This 'primer' is so good that it fixed many of my errors in my escapes and even gave me a game plan against all opponents. You sir are a wizard and your material is well worth the price. Think about it. Imagine you're in a self defense situation. This primer makes sure you end up at least in guard and attempting to take the opponents back. No "noise". No "nonsense" The first 2 years is really confusing as we are just groping with all the major things in jiu jitsu without delving into the details and cementing the nervous system reflexes to carry out the motions flawlessly. If I had your instructionals since the beginning I'm absolutely sure i would have reached blue belt in a year training just twice a week and spending a few hours a week drilling your techniques with a partner.

With the help of this video, I was able to do an elbow escape from the opponent's mount position and I did the final submission in a fight against a more experienced training partner exactly as you show it. That was my 3rd BJJ training in my whole life. I am an absolute white belt. I woke up, go to bed, dreaming with this video. A tried it in my mind a million times. I was lay down to the floor and do it with an imagined opponent. I think that was the key of my success. But I have many-many fault in my movements. So I will practice it at least 10 000 times while it will be perfect. Thank you. :)

You always have to listen when greatness is talking. Very thorough but not too wordy nor over explanation on the subject. The "thumbs down" are probably from the ones always on the receiving end of those elbow escapes and "murder's rope" strangulations.
