I was browsing Budovideos and there's so much out there. I wasn't sure what I should spend my hard earned dough on. So any suggestions would be great. It doesn't matter if it's instructional or competition. As long as it's good stuff worth the money.
Theres tons of great dvds. I love Pablo Popovitch's no gi exposed, jeff glovers deep half, Caio Terra's half guard... ADCC 2009 has some awesome matches.
I hear ya bro, it's a hard decision. I actually have the Popovitch and Glover DVD's as well and really like them. I also just picked up Bill Cooper's deep half guard killer and that's good too. I'm thinking my next one will be Ryan Hall's Triangle or Half Guard DVD. That Caio Terra one is seriously tempting too!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll look into them.
LOL. I'm a different breed my man. I know about torrents, but I actually like to support the good men who try to make a living off of this. I'd rather steal from a walmart before I steal from hard working men. After a years of hard work, competing, injuries, etc, the least I can do is contribute to their dream of making a living off doing what they love. I know if I were in their position, I wouldn't want anyone to torrent my stuff. I'm the same way when it comes to good underground music.Quote:

There are couple of other threads on this topic. Check em out! : )
Almost anything from Bas Rutten ,Erik Paulson, and Marcelo Garcia espescially Macelo's.
Imanari Leg Lock Master 1+2
Vincent Fields Leglocks double disc
Aoki 1+2
Karo Parisian no-gi judo
Roy dean's shit is slick
Reily Bodycomb has an awesome No Gi Sambo leg lock dvd
+1 on Jeff Glover
Ryan Hall's Triangle DVD is really good, I just can't stand him enough to get all the way through his deep half DVD. He blinks too much, say's "please" about 100 times in every DVD, and worst of all he talks shit about the Rubber Guard. So if that doesn't bother you, than check it out.
And of course Mastering the Rubber Guard is dope!

I agree for all the knowledge these guys pass on in their videos the least we can do
is pay for their hard work.
I was wondering if Ryan Hall had beef with 10th Planet or not. I hope he and Denny face each other in Abu Dhabi.Quote:

Hall doesnt say anything directly negative, but he has said some stuff that has a passive aggressive sound to it that seems directed toward rubber guard people. Stuff like flexibility shouldn't be used in place of good positioning or people shouldnt be tought to be in the habit of laying flat on their back. Maybe people are going into the 50/50 gym with bad beginner rubber guard habits and he might be attaching those habits as regular parts of the system. I forget which dvds he says stuff in exactly but i do remember the passive aggressiveness
Be careful making fun of Ryan Halls Tourette syndrome, he might sneak up on you on the street and heel-hook you.
obviously, i am gonna recommend eddie's stuff. but there is a lot of other great material out there, too.
i highly recommend ryan hall's triangle series and his back attack series above his other stuff. those have both been very impacting on my game.
i love damien maia's science of jiu jitsu series as well.
my favorite right now is marcelo's new game jiu jitsu. it has a TON of material on his omoplata game, as well as his guillotine choke series and his crucifix game.
I'm not a retard and I'm entitled to my opinion. There is no question Ryan is an excellent grappler. I just happen to find him terribly annoying.Quote:

In fact, it reminds me of my aunt whose right arm was run over by a car when she was six years old, yet she still has managed to successfully live her life. She drives a stick shift, plays tennis, and so many other things that many would find difficult to do in her situation. So don't worry, I enjoy watching JJ's DVD's. Thanks though.
Maybe the one "but hurt" here is you, since you call ppl you don't know shit about retards on an jiu jitsu forum.

The Caio Terra 101 dvd is really good.
You are entitled to your opinion. But if you can't get passed his Tourette's and politeness to see that his instruction is some of the best available, then you are a retard. I don't think you got the connection between Hall and Machado having ailments no fault of their own, meaning you also likely are a retard.Quote:

And most high level grapplers, I think would agree, that laying flat on your back isn't ideal.
I'm not going to turn this into that Ryan Hall thread though since it's already happened here. Suffice to say, I'd recommend his deep half, 50/50, and triangle dvds highly.
