Customer Reviews:
Good complement to live instruction.......2007-02-21
The three DVD's are organized by level of instruction - beginner, intermediate, and advanced techniques. Cesar Gracie is a very good teacher and explains the techniques in great detail.
I am currently a student of BJJ myself and find this DVD set a good companion to lessons from my academy.
Excellent instruction on Brazilian Jujitsu.......2006-10-29
The Videos are very good. There is alot of material on the three DVD's and they are presented in a well organized and thought out format. They are easy to understand and each technigue is covered several times and from different angles. I would highly recommend these DVD's to all martail artist who are interested in learning Brazilian Jujitsu.
Police stats say 95% of all fights go to the ground.......2006-04-05
Why would you learn ground fighting from anyone other than the family that invented it?
I wrestled in HS, fought many bare knuckle fights, and have recently (8 months back) gotten into jiu-jitsu and kickboxing. Just as most would, I've tried to get an edge on my learning curve by purchasing gym mats to train at home (as well as training in the mma academy), and various BJJ instructional DVDs.
The DVD sets I've purchased are: Marcelo Garcia (Series 2), Saulo Ribeiro (BJJ Revolution series), Mario Sperry (Vale Tudo series 1, 2, & 3), and this Cesar Gracie set. I've had a chance to compare the different styles, techniques, and educational approaches. What I've found is that each of these DVD sets is of great value because you can pick up something from each one to improve your game. Based on my experience here are the things I liked and did not like about the Gracie DVD set.
Things I liked:
1) Cesar Gracie explains the moves well
2) He goes over the moves several times for reinforcement
3) He also focuses on key details for the particular move to work
4) He explains how the opponent would react and what variations you could apply
5) The DVD production is pretty good: good lighting and the mats create good contrast to view the demonstrations
6) Nice mix of ground and stand up techniques: sport and street
7) Basics are the Key!
8) Great value for your money!!!
Things I did not like:
1) The organization of the lessons. The beginners DVD is designed for someone who's had at least 3 to 6 months of BJJ. No instructional DVD out there seems to go into much detail of the basic positions, goals of BJJ, energy conservation & breathing, position & exercise drills, balance & body sensitivity, faking/setting-up, and learning to think several moves in advance.
2) On some of the lessons I felt like Cesar Gracie was a bit too quick
3) This DVD is a bit outdated but still very good material.
Conclusion: I am very pleased with this purchase.
Cesar Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Grappling Instructional Series.......2006-03-21
This is a great product. I am recently a new fan to the UFC, and have begun to take notice of the power of ju-jitsu, i bought this tape as an enthusiast to the sport and its has given me great insight. Cesar speaks very good english and explains the moves very clearly step by step. He will show you how to do the move from several different angels, and is very good at explaing what you should be doing at a given time during the move. My only complaint is i would have like to seen a better scence selection. Currently each dvd is spli tinto 3 parts, with each part containing several moves... it would have been nice to be able to choose exactly which move you want to review, without having to fast forward through the parts. I give this dvd a 9 out of 10
Good techniques!.......2006-02-26
Being a student of Jiu-jitsu I can tell you that Cesar Gracie knows what he is talking about. This DVD set helped me perfect moves that I thought I already knew. Also I was impressed with the amount of information in this set. For the price, it's defiantly worth it. Cesar is big on technique so the dvds are a little slow paced at times.
