Best BJJ Cyber Monday DVD Collection – Now Or Never!
We’ve talked previously about ways in which you can learn BJJ. A sport that is so open and constantly changing is not a sport you can only learn in the gym. Talking, to people, reading, watching stuff online are all viable ways of adding to your grappling knowledge. However, there’s a modern learning tool that has changed how we approach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – DVD instructionals. Nowadays, hardly anyone, bar a few complete beginners doesn’t own at least one BJJ DVD. And, there’s no denying that they’re awesome.
The thing with BJJ DVDs is that just like with Jiu-Jitsu, you can’t get enough of them. Plus, people are producing and issuing them on a daily basis. it seems every high-profile coach and competitor is into it. On the positive side of things, this does offer a lot of knowledge that previously, only a few had access to. On the downside, instructionals are too many to gather. In fact, the best thing you can do is think in terms of collections, and gather different DVDs that cover the same or similar subject. BJJ Deals
However, acquiring a bunch of DVDs is no easy feat. In today’s popular format, each DVD has four parts, meaning you get entire sets ANd they do not come cheap at all. Luckily, there’s BJJ Cyber Monday, and the one day in the year when everything is at half price! Now, you can get all of the best DVDs of the year and build yourself a collection that’ll hold you until this time next year. It is a proven way of getting the best BJJ Deals ever when it comes to DVD Instructionals.
The 2020 BJJ Cyber Monday Best BJJ Deals
How can you know what the best DVD instructionals are? There are two answers to this question. The first one is, look at the people teaching in each. If they’re world-class coaches/competitors, you’re bound to get a lot out of the instructional. The second answer is to look into what is best for you. If you’re on a submission chasing quest at the moment, you need to be looking at submission DVDs. If you’re more into playing guard than bottom game DVDs should be on top of your list. You get my point.
Since it is BJJ Cyber Monday, it is prudent to say that tall these DVD instructionals do not come just in DVD format. Instead of waiting around for the mailman, you can get each and every one of them in digital format as well. That means downloading them straight away and be able to carry them around with ease. As I said, the goal of this BJJ Cyber Monday was to figure out the best possible BJJ Deals out there. And we have some real treats for you below!

They both teamed up to bring us one of the top No-Gi DVDs of 2020- “10th Planet Fundamentals”. This is a DVD unlike any other because these guys are not demonstrating techniques or concepts.

Butterfly Half Guard – Tom DeBlass

In other words, it is time to change your half guard game forever. Plus, Tom himself is heavy on leglocks, making this DV D the perfect companion to Craig Jones’ one we discussed above. That’s how you build a collection on BJJ Cyber Monday.
Closed Guard Instructionals
The closed guard certainly had a good year. In 2020, the closed guard was the one position that made the strongest possible Jiu-Jitsu comeback. As a result, instructional started popping up left and right. Let’s see some other best, and how you can tie them together for an unbelievable game.

In this case, it is the Ground Marshall Guard, a No-Gi variation fo the closed guard that’s brilliant, to say the least. Melanson is known for triangles, so everyone really interested in improving bot their triangle offense and closed guard for No-Gi should look into this. Oh, and it works perfectly with the Gi as well. Tried and tested!

Chris Haueter is as OG as they get. He is one of the original BJJ dirty dozen, meaning he is one of the first 12 Americans to get a BJJ black belt. He has a wealth of experience which he shares in his “Old School Efficient BJJ” instructional. Once again, four parts cover everything, from closed guard, to guard passing and top position attacks. This isaGi DVD and one that’s appropriate for every level of a grappler. Plus, it offers insights into preparing a complete BJJ game for MMA fighters too.

Pure Jiu-Jitsu- Luis Heredia
Luis Heredia is a student of Helio Gracie, which on itself is enough to give him more credibility than most. However, his approach to Jiu-Jitsu is what really sets him apart from others. he has a DVD set out named “Pure Jiu-Jitsu” In it, he teaches key concepts, ranging from basic techniques and movements, to the ins and outs of weight distribution and pinning. A perfect DVD to kick off your Jiu-Jitsu journey.
Mastering The Mount – Matt Thornton
Something else that is a must-have is Matt Thornton’s “Mastering The Mount”. This oen si so good, I’ve been using it regularly to set up mount classes in my academy, for both fundamentals and advanced groups. The mount is one of the most important positions in BJJ and beginners absolutely need it more than anyone else. Matt has the real formula on how to get to, hold, and attack from all variations of the mount. Once again, you get to learn all his secrets from four volumes.
Solo And Partner Grappling Drills – Tom DeBlass
Finally, a way to learn drills for beginners. DVDs like this are pretty scarce, so thank to Tom DeBlass for putting this one out. His “Solo And Partner Grappling Drills” is a DVD that’ll help you improve in BJJ fast. As such, it is a key piece of the puzzle for all white belts, teaching a lot of sport-specific movement and motion. A four-part DVD set that’s a must-have for everyone, not just beginners.
Half Guard Instructionals BJJ Deals
The closed guard might have made a comeback, but the half guard never even left the stage. As such, there are more half guard DVDs out there than there are instructionals for any other subject of Jiu-Jitsu. As such, we made a selection of a few of the best. A usual, a link to an entire collection is also included.
The Bucheca Half Guard – Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida
Thre’s no way we can talk about the half guard and not mention Buchecha. He is one of the pioneers of the position and still one of the greatest grapplers of all time. As such, he has an unusual take on the half guard, known as the ‘Bucheca Half Guard”. In a DVD with the same name, he shares all his secrets, from playing the guard defensively to hitting submissions like kneebars out of nowhere. Not much to think about, this is a half guard DVD everyone needs! BJJ Cyber Monday
Half Gaurd Anthology – Lachlan Giles
The real masterpiece when it comes to half guard DVD’s, though, has to be that of Lachlan Giles. He has the “Half Gaurd Anthology” DVD which is just that. This is not a regular four-part instructional but an eight-part anthology looking at every variation of the half guard in depth. Lachlan has a really original take on DVD formatting so you can expect a lot of added stuff like narrated rolls and Q&A. Simply awesome.
Coyote Half Guard – Lucas Leite
Finally one of the best possible half guard instructionals of all times. while you might know the “Coyote Half Guard” from earlier on, you certainly do not know much about the No-_gI version of the position. In fact, this is Lucas Leite’s latest DVD, revisiting his signature position fro ma No-Gi Perspective. As such, I’d have to say that having both the Gi and No-Gi Coyote Hlafg Guard DVDs is a foolproof way fo learning the complete system.
DVDs For Submission Hunters
This has to be my favorite category when it comes to BJJ DVDs. You can’t learn submissions very easily, but they’re certainly very learnable. The following few DVDs are your best source of information on the subject. And BJJ Cyber Monday brings you the best possible BJJ Deals to get your hands on them.
Omoplata Everyone – Bernardo Faria
Bernardo Faria makes ana appearance once again, this time offering his insights on the Omoplata. This crazy submission si one of the BJJ staples and works in both Gi and No-Gi. However, learning this shoulder lock properly requires specific instructions. What is more specific than four volumes filled with Omoplata instructions by a man who has beaten world champion black belts with it? No question about this one, it should be your first BJJ Cyber Monday click.
Position To Submission – Matheus Diniz
Matheus Diniz is another high profile grappler that has a lot to share. He is a Marcelo Garcia black belt that emulates Marcelo’s game perfectly, so it is safe to say he knows submissions. His “Position To Submission” DVD is exactly what people need to improve their finishing rate. Once again, it is a four-volume DVD covering just about anything, from guard attacks to crucifix finishes. Be p[raperd to spend a long time on this one though, as ti ahs lots and lots of information inside.
High Percentage IBJJF Legal Footlocks – Mikey Musumeci
Let’s wrap it up here with another leg lock DVD, but this time, from a different perspective. Mikey Musumeci knows everything there is about computing with the Gi, including leg locks. His take on leglocks is a legal pone, at least when the IBJJF is concerned. In his “High Percentage IBJJF Legal Footlocks” you’ll learn all the ankle locks, toe holds, calf slicers and kneebars you’ll lever need.
BJJ Escapes Instructionals
A really important part of BJJ that hardly anyone trains before brown belt. However, dedicating some time to learning escapes, and how and why they work is something you can do at every belt level.
Worry-Free Escapes – Dean Lister
Dean Lister has a very cool DVD set out that’s tackling the issue of escapes. His “Worry-Free Escapes” Instructional is a real road map to escaping any difficult situation in Jiu-Jitsu. To be honest, this oen is heavy on leg lock escapes and counters, but it also features other common submission escapes, as well as positional ones
Submission Escapes – Tom DeBlass
Another one who has a great escape blueprint is Tom DeBlass. His “Submission Esaceps” system is as neat as it gets. In it he has three volumes of incredible information on how to get out of even the tightest submission holds in Jiu-Jitsu. Despite this being a No-Gi instructional, it is more than applicable in the Gi as well.
The Sitting Turtle – Priit Mihkelson
Finally, what is more than well worth checking out is any of the stuff Priit Mihkelson has. To that extent, hardly anything beats his “Sitting Turtle” DVD. Priti is a maverick at escaping, and making people like they do not know Jiu-Jitsu. Trust me, I’ve rolled with him. That said, there’s no back attack system better than this, both in being original, weird and unexpected, and being ultra-efficient. I strongly recommend you get this DVD first this BJJ Cyber Monday! BJJ Deals
Leg Lock BJJ DVDs
It wouldn’t be a real guide to BJJ DVDs if we didn’t include BJJ deals for leg lock instructionals. While some claim the best days of leg locks have passed, I tend to disagree. There’s s much more to learn in that area which was neglected for so long. In that sense, here are some great options:
Leglock Anthology: 50/50 – Lachlan Giles
The number one DVD to get nowadays is, of course, that of Lachaln Giles. After heel-hooking three giants to get the bronze at the 2019 ADCC in the absolute division, Lachlan became a legend. Just days after, he released an entire DVD set on the subject of 50/50 hellholes dubbed “Leglock Anthology: 50/50”. It has 8 volumes, like before, and covers just about everything there is about heel hooking from the50/50. In fact, Lachlan even outlines how he went about beating everyone in the ADCC using the system.
IBJJF Legal Leglocks – Luiza Monteiro
Luzia Monterio is one of the top Gi competitors in the world and certainly one of the most knowledgeable when it comes to leg locks. Similar to Musumeci, she has an “IBJJF Legal Leglocks” DVD out. However, she cores different topics than Mikey, offering another way of looking at legal foot locks. In it, the focus is on X guard and 50/50 from the bottom, but there’s also volume son attacking the legs from the top position. And yes, there are plenty of great legal options that work at the highest levels.
Leg Attacks And Grappling Hacks – Dean Lister
Of course, there’s no way we could talk about leg locks and not mention the man behind them all, Dean Lister. his “Leg Attacks And Grappling Hacks” DVD instructional is incredible, to say the least. Dean has done it all when it comes to leg locks, and he shares both incredible attacking and defensive concepts in his four-part instructional.
Guard Passing DVD Isnturctionals BJJ Deals
As we’re nearing to the end of our BJJ Cyber Monday guide to the best BJJ Deals for DVD instructionals, let’s talk about guard passing. So far we’ve covered every other aspect of Jiu-Jitsu. Now, it is time to figure out how to get past the crazy amount of guards that exist in the sport. Several options stand out in that regard.
The Pressure Passing Manual – Marco Barbosa
The first of those options is Marco Barbosa and his take on pressure passing. In short, the man has seen just about everything, being a black belt for the better part of his life. Having a Judo black belt only helps his case when it comes to pressure. The instructional is only two DVDs long because that’s all it takes of Braborsa to teach you an eye-popping pressure game that includes many different ways of passing. BJJ Cyber Monday
How To Pass Guards Quickly And Easily – Craig Jones
Craig Jones makes an appearance here again, with one of the top DVDs on the subject of playing the top position. His take is the most modern one of all, as he likes to use leg locks to set up guard passes. In “How To Pass Guards Quickly And Easily” Craig offers a great way to use the threat of leg attacks to get past the legs. Highly effective and unique in terms of the approach. Also, a No-Gi DVD.
Float Passing System – Vagner Rocha
And, if pressure passing isn’t really your strong suit, then you can consider a different route. Vagner Rocha’s “Float Passing System” is one of the best passing instructionals I’ve seen in my life. It did wonders for me and I’ve been using it since it came out. This is a fairly new DVD, so make sure you make the most of it by getting it before others figure out how good it is.
Bonus Instructionals
Before we wrap BJJ Cyber Monday up, let’s look at a couple more DVDs that are so great, you can’t afford to miss out on them.
Yoga For BJJ & Yoga For Rocks- Sebastian Broche
First up is a DVD that anyone training Jiu-Jitsu is going to find very useful. “Yoga For BJJ & Yoga For Rocks” is a set by Sebastian Broche, who is the best BJJ yoga guy around. He covers everything here. From Vinyasa Yoga basics, all the way to ways of turning brittle grapplers into Eddie Bravo-like contortionists. Highly recommended, even if you’re not looking to play rubber guard any time soon. BJJ Cyber Monday
Nutrition And Weight Management System – George Lockhart
The very final piece of the Best BJJ Deals puzzle has to do with nutrition. Learning how to eat healthily and having a foolproof weight-cutting system is something along the lines of the Holy Grail in BJJ. Well, rest assured you’ve found it, in George Lockhart’s Nutrition And Weight Management System.
