@GoldBjj I still can’t believe you guys are putting these on KZbin and not charging an arm & a leg for quality instructionals!

[@GoldBJJ]

Our pleasure, and thank you. Think of us next time you need some gear 🤙🏻

Dean brought me here. Rory's mixing science with BJJ kept me here Awesome

One instructional has covered what has taken me hours upon hours to find and take notes on multiple KZbinrs poorly covering the same topics. Seriously, Every frame, escape, get up, position, etc. I had them all in a notebook from about 6 different youtubers. This instructional was the best though because it had details that the other guys glossed over. So it's not just the sheer volume of situations, each situation had details I'd never seen covered as thoroughly before.

So happy to hear this. Rory is an awesome instructor and he has a fantastic channel too: kzbin.info/door/i_I_mIrzSOlgj_fAGA_FDQ

[@vicarious8989]

Rory is awesome!

[@jeremy41234]

Excellent instructional, I’ll be buying a rash guard since you guys give away this great content for free. 🤙

Thank you! Will do!

26:00 I am a white belt and yes this reversal works on me!

[@rstonelee1311]

Possibly a stupid question, but in the section on the frame escape from a strong opponent, when you heist up to your knee, your hips seem to be pointed at the ground and your shoulders are still pointed at your opponent. Doesn't this violate the spinal alignment concept?

[@andreasg.9161]

It's so sad. I paid over 100€ for a Danaher instructional and the one important detail of the inversion etc. that I always felt was missing I get here for free.

[@GoldBJJ]

But now you have it! Good luck on the mats :)
