BJJ Fanatics

Combination Wrestling match and BJJ competition, the mats were so filthy from the wrestler's shoes everyone's Gi was black by the end, the mats were located next to the bathroom of course. The referees were from local teams and were giving advice to their teammates and were warned several times for tapping other competitors to ridiculous submissions ex. A white belt with 3 mo. Exp got to tap an expert while lying face down with a sloppy triangle with the expert sitting on top with back mount the poor guy looked like he was going to cry. The Brackets were still being posted after the competition was over and we were packing up to leave. There were 145 competitors, and it took 10 hours to complete the tournament there were not enough referee's so half of the mats were empty. People who had driven 100's of miles to get there were leaving This was my 10th BJJ tournament. Stick to making videos and buy a mop.

I ordered Kurt Osiander's videos. It was a 4 part DVD. Disc 1 does not work at all. It looks like they were burned on someone's home computer with a homemade label maker. I called the number on the website and a message says it hasn't been set up yet, so no contact. I sent and email and so far I've gotten no response from the company. I spent $80 bucks on something that doesn't work and can't get anyone on the phone to exchange or replace the disc. Come on guys! We got to do better than this!

I purchased a digital product where the description said that the product would be available to download. It wasn't - you must watch it through their website. You cannot watch it offline. Any polite enquiry is met with silence - no reply whatsoever. The business hides behind the internet - nameless, faceless and not accountable. Terrible business ethics.

*** WARNING: Do not buy anything from BJJFanatics. Go straight to the product creator where possible or another reputable distributor.

I have order three Dvd's from BJJ Fanatics. Dvd's are good but all three times I have ordered from them I have had issues with their mailing. Takes them for ever to send it out and in the pass I had issues with their coupon codes. Its a shame once again great product but $#*!ty service.

Danaher's leg lock video, "Entering the System" is the best jiu jitsu instructional video that I've ever seen by a mile. Mr. Danaher goes to great lengths to not only show techniques but to give you the theories and reasons behind why they work. A lot of the concepts repeat throughout the instructional which is very helpful in getting the viewer to commit those concepts to memory. Mr. Danaher takes you from initially gripping an opponent all the way to submitting them and you are guided through the entire process with reinforced dialog and proof of concept. It's especially useful that he shows how a jiu jitsu practitioner with lots of knowledge in other areas of grappling can easily adapt his system to get it to work for them. Top notch content all the way.

The technique and concepts as well as how theyre conveyed are excellent, however the spotty audio and dodgy camera work effect the experience slightly and are the only thing that kept me from a 5 star rating. If this was a $50 product I would have rated 5 starts, however at the current price tag everything should be professional quality. I heard a rumor its being re-recorded and sent for free to those who purchased, which if true is awesome!

DVD came in a time order. I am glad you guys finally go into allowing the user to download the digital content. We shouldnt be getting "DVDs" anymore as DVD tech is being phased out. Please make this available for all prior purchases. It's really the only thing holding me back from buying more content. My only other critisim on the Leg Lock system is the terrible audio. I know this is being corrected shortly. I am hoping for a quick release on the Danaher back system too.

Initially I was going to give 4 stars because (as everyone has heard by now) the production quality was severely lacking. But after the incredibly honorable decision to re-record and to re-film (with 2 cameras this time!) and the very quick response by BJJFanatics, I am so impressed that I would love to give more than 5 stars if I could. THIS is how to fix a mistake and is the way true capitalism works. Thank you so much John and Michael. Mad respect to you both. OSS!
