Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

Here it is! The original Renzo Gracie and Craig Kukuk series that changed Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu forever. Originally sold for almost $400 dollars, we have digitally re-mastered this series for DVD and it looks better then the original VHS version. This 11 volume series deals with sport Jiu-Jitsu and No Holds barred fighting. Renzo Gracie and Craig Kukuk take you through each technique with clear, concise explanation that made this series a favorite for many. Watch the fights and learn the moves! This instructional concept is awesome and this is one of the few sets that have ever been able to accomplish this. This was possible because when Renzo Gracie came to NY in the early nineties to do this set with Kukuk, he brought with him original fight footage of some of the most brutal ring and street fight footage ever seen. This is old school style fights from Brazil, before the UFC and takes place in gyms and hard core NHB events (many fights have no gloves). You will see Renzo Gracie himself in his early fights and many other Gracie’s crushing their opponents. Renzo Gracie and Craig teach tons of moves on this set and often stop in the teaching to show you a real fight were the techniques was done. This is a MUST HAVE set for any grappler and fan of MMA. This set is real DVD, not DVD-R or DVD-RW. Each DVD has chapters and allows you to go directly to any technique! All 11 volumes are on 3 DVDs. These DVDs are region-free and will work anywhere in the world, on any player. VOLUMES: VOLUME 1: Beginning Armlocks VOLUME 2: Advanced Armlock VOLUME 3: Escape from the Bottom VOLUME 4: Escape from the Headlock VOLUME 5: The Guard VOLUME 6: Defending the Mount VOLUME 7: Beginning Chokes VOLUME 8: Advanced Chokes VOLUME 9: The Mounted Position VOLUME 10: Passing the Guard VOLUME 11: Takedowns and the Clinch   Watch Video Availability: In Stock MSRP: $150.00 Your Price: $59.99

Renzo and Craig's video takes you through a comprehensive crash course in BJJ. The techniques in the video are extremely detailed and each clip reviews the technique at least 5 times. The DVD format is useful to review a particular area (i.e. choke, escapes, passing the guard, etc). I highly recommend the video for any person just starting off in BJJ or even intermediate practitioners who are just looking to brush off on some technical aspects of the moves.

This instructional DVD set was pretty thorough. I was kind of under the impression it would be an Instructional Series on "No-Gi" Jiu-Jitsu and while they do show many techniques that are used without needing the Gi so much, half of it or more did utilize the Gi for one thing or another.

As far as quality goes, the information was fantastic and showed many variations of common techniques along with key points to allow you to perfect your techniques a little better which I found extremely valuable, DVD quality was pretty decent, and the Audio was great. Renzo Gracie speaks very good English which is easy to understand.

This was my first set of VHS instructional tapes in BJJ so many years ago. It motivated me to study BJJ with Craig Kukuk in Red Bank, New Jersey. Craig is an excellent teacher. I also went to Renzo Gracie's first BJJ tournament, held in his school in lower Manhattan. Craig and Renzo are both class acts, very friendly, informal, and terrific guys. They are great teachers too.

This set helps show why Renzo Gracie is one of the world's top jiu jitsu teachers. The basics are clearly presented here in a logical sequence, and they work! You won't find the latest and greatest sweeps, but there is enough content here to last months and months of practice. Renzo's style is to introduce simple moves, gradually building in complexity. This makes the set appropriate for all levels - especially as such a cheap price.
