The Rob Biernacki series is worth its weight in gold. OK, I guess that would mean it's not worth shit since it's all-digital, but the point is it's the most scientific instructional I've seen yet. The focus is ENTIRELY on concepts and their applications. It's so incredible, that you basically just have to watch each one a few times through and you will automatically get better. The concepts just sort of find their way into your game while you're rolling without even really trying. Seriously, I watched the back attacks course 3-4 times and a week later I was pulling off rolling back attacks from quarter mount and chair-sitting back-takes against blue belts (I'm a white belt). I watched the top game course twice and immediately started using this knee mount "home base" idea; the kimuras, arm locks, and collar chokes just kind of started "happening" on their own after that. The "base, posture, structure" concept is easily the most powerful idea I've ever learned since I started grappling. Now, I am pretty good and watching and then doing (strong visual learner), but I feel like this would happen to a certain extent with anyone that buys this series. I know all of this sounds like a bullshit infomercial, but that was my experience. Had to say it somewhere.

Thanks so much for writing that! These principles and concepts changed my game in exactly the way you described, which is why I'm so passionate about teaching and sharing them.

[@sphericalwave]

Justin Holmes im a four stripe white and i am experiencing similar upgrades having watched the series only once. Very cool stuff.

[@qsaxus]

Awesome video, thanks for posting! We are training knee on belly this week, I'm going to try the foot control technique tomorrow!

[@rightwinggunnut1]

Man i gotta get to a bjj school...studied and taught other martial arts for years...need me some of this!

[@JessDeLaGarza]

Thank you for the clear instruction.

[@StephanKesting]

You are very welcome. I'm just teaching the way that I would want to be taught myself...

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

Awesome video!

Can you do a video on a sneaky ninja choke set up? It would help a lot! Thank you!

tuesday one of my partners did this to me. he´s very technical and i´m the defensive guy, cause i´m the new one. it is very frustrating :-D is there a way to defend this ?

[@jholmes45]

Kurt Osiander has a few good KOB escapes on his channel.

[@TyHatfield]

Yea lots

[@MrHeathcliff83]

Justin Holmes THANK you dude. Osiander is/looks awesome. i only see him once in a video. but he must be a genius,. i watch. thanks.

[@Zilkat]

Really good video. I hate having that done to me, though

[@StephanKesting]

It definitely sucks if you're on the bottom - have you learned any good, reliable escapes that work for you? Life will get better once you do that...

[@bigbobabc123]

+Stephan Kesting tapping seems to work well.

[@MGRA1996]

@Stephan Kesting You might want to see a counter Josh Robinson showed on his channel if u dont know it already anyway. There he countered it with a heel hook

[@Zilkat]

Stephan Kesting Senpai noticed me I can't train currently, but before leaving, a regular training partner started experimenting with knee on belly a lot. He was already better than me and it was brutal! I wouldn't mind videos on how to escape it, but I intend to do research and focus on it a bit more once I'm back in training. I'm a no-gi bjj pleb, though.

[@SenpaiTorpidDOW]

Love Josh Robinson's youtube stuff!

[@mrdune5479]

Too me, being new, this position seems rather unstable. I get bucked off almost everytime. Not sure it's worth it when side control and even full mount are more stable

[@mrdune5479]

@@kodiakcombatcollective7917 thank you for your response

[@IXIporkchopIXI]

what is the best piece of advice to a white belt ?

[@StephanKesting]

Learn a few different techniques from each of the 6 major positions. If you do a search for my Roadmap for BJJ book you'll be able to download it for free - it covers those 6 positions and suggested techniques as well! grapplearts.com/book
