Another piece of indispensable material from the NJJA
The instruction is, as always with the NJJA, top notch. What sets this series apart from others is the "cleanliness;" no ramblings or off topic discussion, a clear beginning/middle/end, with nothing but actionable instruction, for 12 hours. Coach South also is keen to note the differences between his curriculum vs his preferences within the curriculum, which helps us newbies keep track (for example, you may not need a collar/sleeve grip for a certain takedown, but he likes that grip. So now I'm aware that my preferred grips may also work just as well).Be prepared to pause early and pause often, because there's rarely a sequence that goes by without you wanting to try it. Having gone through a blue belt evaluation at the NJJA, and having been given feedback about what I need to work on, I feel that this series is exactly the supplemental material I could use off the mats to get me there.

Great BJJ videos!
These videos are great. I appreciate that Prof. Michael South makes it simple to learn the techniques, and at the same time he clearly breaks down the fine details of the techniques too. I currently do not live near a good BJJ school, but thanks to these videos I can learn and train with my friends wherever I am. -Zac

One of the best-produced BJJ videos out there
I own hundreds of BJJ DVDs and the production quality bar for the industry is set very low. The Complete Blue Belt Curriculum smashes all previously set standards in terms of audio quality, video quality, and presentation of material. My favorite part is that the instructor actually shows the complete technique FIRST, often from multiple angles, and THEN explains the technique.I am a purple belt in BJJ and I still find this to be a great reference to brush up on areas I've forgotten and hone other areas of my game.

Great for BJJ beginners too.
I have studied martial arts for over 20 years now ( based in shotokan karate) but i am a newbie when it come to BJJ. The lessons on this dvd set are extremely detailed and focus on the techniques with high success ratings. I have learned other skills digitally and for those who might be skeptical about learning BJJ like this please note that gracie Jujitsu has an online university too. My only critique is I would like to have a study guide to know which techniques to group together.

A must have for white belts
As a beginner in jiu jitsu, it can be really intimidating to ask questions in class or to fully grasp the technique/skill being drilled in such a short amount of time. These videos have been really helpful with understanding basic jiu jitsu concepts that have translated into my training on the mat. Michael and Sonny do a great job breaking down every movement and explaining the pro’s & con’s for them in a live roll. I recommend this to any white belt who is looking to build confidence & have a resource for reviewing various skills.
