5.0 out of 5 stars It helped to piece together my jiu jitsu puzzle..., November 21, 2006

This review is from: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu- Ultimate winning techniques (DVD)

The BJJ DVD from Gene Simco is great for beginners' students who don't have the time to train all the time and no time for private classes. With this DVD you can take the time to review step by step to see how the positions work - also, what I like a lot about this video is that Simco details each technique (Attack Order, Pressure, Angles, Tightness, Application, Timing,) with great explanation, making each movement easy to understand.

I was highly impressed with his ability to explain key points that stuck with me as I hit the mat and for any bjj student, to come home after a hard night rolling and pick up this DVD will certainly improve your game and help piece together the parts of your jiu jitsu puzzle. This DVD is sure to add to your game...

5.0 out of 5 stars A DEAL AND A HALF, February 1, 2007

By 

Dante "IP MAN" (RI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu- Ultimate winning techniques (DVD)

Anything by this man is good.

Gene Simco is a genius at teaching the grappling arts!!!!!

Watching it I felt as though he was teaching me personally. I am not kidding about what I am about to say,.........I sat there and mouthed out loud questions that a few seconds later he answered. What I am trying to say is that he is so in touch with what the student's queries because he keeps in touch with the student within himself.

This man is a true teacher and a great grappler. If you are interested in grappling, this is the DVD for you.

You cannot lose!!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great technique, but waffles on a bit., December 21, 2007

This review is from: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu- Ultimate winning techniques (DVD)

I found this to be a great instructional DVD. The techniques he showed were not unlike other DVD's, however with each technique he shows a slight twist here or angle change there that can mean the difference between a really tight inescapable lock to a loose one. These small differrences make a big differrence.
The only negative thing I would say is he waffles on a bit. He introduces too many concepts while trying to demonstrate the basic technique. It would be easier to grasp if the basic technique was introduced first, then show the finer points and variations of the basic. It leaves you thinking "come on, get on with it" a lot. But the actual techniques are great.
