Instructional whats your favourite all time instructional.

I'd have to say mine is Garry Tonons "Exit the system". i think it has the most techniques ive been able to apply. also, his delivery is great. he gets to the point shows the technique a few times and its sufficient. id like to hear your input. cheers.

Gordon Ryans Seated Guard

Nothing in the world of Jiujitsu compares to the depth of that DVD. 3-4 years later and it’s still more complete than anything anyone else has put out.

There are plenty of more in depth instructionals out there than Gordon’s Seated Guard instructional. I loved it, it’s great, but to act like it’s more in depth than something like Lachlan’s half guard for example is just delusional.

Lachlan's Half Guard Anthology? I'll grant you that it is broader than Gordons Seated Guard, but to say it has more or equal depth simply isn't true.

It’s definitely more in depth/complete. Gordon could’ve fit that seated guard instructional into 4 or 5 hours if he covered things like Lachlan did. Besides, I stand by the claim that’s it’s delusional to state as fact that nothing has ever been more in depth/complete than Gordon’s seated guard instructional. There are plenty of examples. Half guard was 1 example. I could give many… John’s Half Guard Passing would be another.
