I work in the martial arts industry and I have a professional interest in products like this. This is simply one of the best grappling/bjj resources I have ever seen.
Its is highly professional and well structured course in BJJ. The approach, breakdown of techniques and teaching methodology is flawless.This is vital on any distance learning approach and in reality the standard of teaching via this video will be higher than at many clubs.
Some people may attempt to dismiss it but its really good and a really great way to learn. With time, and a partner it is entirely possible to develop great foundation skills for your ground game with this programme.
Shortfalls
I disagree with some of the opinions put forward as fact. Less than half of all street fights go to the ground. We research violence and aggression and found less than 39% do (adjusting for those who took the attacker to ground for restraint). Of those BJJ was academic as they were knocked down and attacked by a group. We found typically the victim is struck from the side or behind. But that aside, in a 1-2-1 situation or match fight the effectiveness of BJJ is unquestionable.
Conclusion
I question some of the techniques for the average man on the street - you should escape and run away asap not work for a prolonged ground offensive ;-( but, this is a truly excellent resource and with practice you can learn some great skills.
The best of its genre by far, well done the Gracies.

The series is laid out in a way that anyone with or without any knowledge of the martial arts can learn. This series is the official Blue Belt course at the Gracie Academy and Ryron and Rener really put on a very detailed lesson plan. 36 lessons in all with variations of many of the moves. Safe and reliable, The Gracie Combatives Course, I believe is guaranteed to get anyone, regardless of skill level or athletic ability ready to defend yourself without seriously hurting the attacker. This is one of the best Martial Arts training courses on DVD you can find.

This series is one of the best sets ever produced by the Gracies. For those who do not practice Jiu-Jitsu in there system this is a great substitute. The idea of earning a blue belt at the end of the course may seem differant, but if you truely study each dvd you should know enough to at least be able to hold your own with the average blue belt. Many of the 'fancy' techniques were taken out leaving the basics, or in reality, the stuff that really works. The set up makes learning easy. It start with position & control, and they work there way to armlocks, traingles, & sweeps. Everything is done 1 step at a time with really good explanation of the details. Amazon & most other site have been out of stock for sometime now, but you can get them from [...] for the same price.
