BJJ Instructionals

Here is a list of most of the instructionals that I have purchased over the years. I will add some more reviews later as I make time but for now I\'ll just give one recommendation.

  • Are any of these worth it given how much is free on youtube?
  • Which ones give the highest return?
  • What to buy first?

Buy The BJJ Formula from Grapplearts by Rob Biernacki and Stephan Kesting.

Stephan usually has sales every so often, announced on his news letter (grapplearts.com) or podcast (The strenuous life podcast) for updates .

The BJJ Formula is not only good in it\'s own rights, but it also gives the best practical comprehensive framework and mental model for conceptualizing and understanding most of Jiu-Jitsu that I\'ve seen (agreeing with Stephan Kesting here). The framework will help your training and will also greatly improve how well you can understand and decipher BJJ actions and instructions from observation, be it in-real-life, from instructionals, or YouTube sources (see my oversized collection here). Effectively, the series will multiply your return on time invested in studying BJJ.
