[Grapplers Guide General] - Money well spent [Report]

Besides actually attending class, nothing has done more for my BJJ than GrapplersGuide! I was lucky to find the site pretty early on in my career and it has helped me immensely.

Just to have an honest, helpful discussion forum without BS comments makes it worth the annual fee alone. There are numerous high level grapplers on the site that are passionate about the sport and lend their advice regularly, and everyone is super respectful and helpful!

The Webmaster (Jason) is always on the ball with maintenance, requests, and new ideas. He takes everyone seriously and is always looking for new ways to improve the site.

There are an endless number of resources on the site that when put to good use could take anyone's game to the next level! To think it was between my premium membership or a new pair of board shorts...glad I made the right choice! Join the GG fam ASAP!

[Grapplers Guide General] - A great surprise! [Report]

I run a few websites that revolve around the martial arts world, and thought I've seen it all. There a lot of good websites out there that focus on some techniques, but must just have bits and pieces of what you are looking for. Most of the time when I'm trying to find grappling information and techniques I hunt on youtube and try to find things that are useful. Sometimes you find good stuff, others times... not. When I stumbled upon this site I was a little skeptical at first. I decided to join because it really wasn't that expensive, but also because I was really hoping it would live up to my expectations. I saw the Closed Guard video on youtube a while ago and was impressed by that. I was hoping the rest of the site would live up.... So I joined and instantly I had access.... then it was like holy f*cking sh*t! Everywhere I clicked there was something I wanted to look at. I love using tabs in Firefox and most have opened 20 tabs with all the content I wanted to see. I was able to play with things immediately in class that night. This behavior hasn't stopped either! The site is always open in my browser and I'm always finding more useful information. The questions I've asked have been answered and people have been very willing to help. This site has become a place where I look for solutions to problems when I don't have an instructor in front of me. I am very impressed by the site! My only criticism would be the GrapplingTube. I think that could be done better; especially with all the content that is available. It would be nice to have the GrapplingTube as the one main repository for all the videos found on this site. Great job! Love this site!

[Grapplers Guide General] - Is it worth it to upgrade? [Report]

For me, the answer was "yes". I fish around some of the other sites from time to time, and find them helpful, but never upgraded past the free membership on any of them. When I stumbled upon The Grappler's Guide I decided, just by chance, to throw in a few bucks to get the Premium Membership. Since I don't have an upgraded membership at any other site I can't compare, but I can say that it has been well worth the little bit that it cost me to go Premium.

Any time I feel like my game is going stale I check out the submission chains section. Some of the sub chains give me new ideas, and others remind me of the basics that I should be sticking to.

Being new to the sport, I like how the site caters a lot of the basics, which is something I need to focus on.

For my game, Grapper's Guide has been a very useful tool and the Premium Sections well worth it, for what I am looking for.

Thanks Jason, to a great site that's helped out my game.

Regards,

[Grapplers Guide General] - One of the best grappling sites around! [Report]

I joined The Grapplers Guide a few months ago after seeing various reviews on the other major forums out there, so I thought I would subscribe for 6 months to see what it was all about. Since subscribing, The GG has become one the first sites I visit when I sit in front of my computer. I visit many forums related to the sport, but GG is the only one around that is dedicated to helping you on the mat. The instructionals made by Jason are well done, and he is a very good teacher. I have picked up many new techniques that I have integrated into my game.

Keep up the good work!

[Grapplers Guide General] - Excellent Training Resource [Report]

Stumbled across The Grapplers Guide and quickly found it to be very valuable.

It is more than a collection of technique - it is a community of like minded grapplers looking to improve their game.

I am working my way through the videos and drills; there's enough material here already to last years. The web master Jason is very prompt in answering queries and regularly comes up with videos to answer your technique questions.

I like the site so much I signed up for lifetime membership.

[Grapplers Guide General] - grappler's review [Report]

grapplers guide is far and above the best program online! Already, I have implemented a lot of the techniques learned on this site into my game - and the moves on this site are original (not like you will see on other pages). The way that the videos are broken down in slow motion and narrated make it so plain and simple that you can almost learn the techniques even without drilling them. I look forward to another year with this site! : )

[Grapplers Guide General] - Very Solid Training Resource [Report]

I joined the Grappler's Guide because I saw some sample videos on Youtube and, figuring that I could always benefit from more moves and drills, I signed up. However, upon joining, I was pleasantly surprised at the breadth and depth of the other resources available to Premium Members. Moreover, it has been the analytical resources on the site, rather than the technique videos I signed up for, that have benefited me the most. Seminars and DVD sets can provide all the grappling positions and moves that one could want, yet I can honestly say the evaluation sheets pertaining to the different aspects of drilling, training, and competition have benefitted me as much or more than any resource that I have invested in outside of class. This website is tremendously helpful and I hope that it continues to grow.Nick

[GG Premium Membership] - The Grapplers 'Guide' and more. [Report]

When you sign up to the Grapplers Guide, you are essentially tapping into a wealth of grappling knowledge; a plethora of articulate and and well instructed guides that address effectively every facet of grappling - with video, articles, journals, tips, reviews, discussion, and more. I admire and truly appreciate Jason's relentless commitment and dedication to contributing to the grappling world, and subsequently providing us with such a valuable service - he demonstrates a multi-approach to success in grappling through his game plans, guides and articles, and encourages a pursuit to 'tackle' grappling from all angles to effectively get the most out of it. And if Jason's knowledge alone isn't enough for you, just ask one of the many brown and black belts and they'll happily provide you with the answers you seek! :) A satisfied member of The Grapplers Guide, Brenton

[GG Premium Membership] - Worth every penny and more!!! [Report]

I purchased the premium membership only after a few days of exploring the grapplingguide.com. I have trained in bjj for over 5 years and have had the pleasure of training with many well known and respected instructors, one of these instructors being Jason Scully. I trained with him for a handful of classes and have been on of his faithful youtube fan since. Subsequently, when I heard that he was involved in creating the grapplingguide.com, I immediately pulled up the website and have been hooked since.

The premium membership is a must for anyone who wants to improve their physical and mental game. It allows you to view endless gi and no-gi techniques that give written highlights of key aspects of the technique. I have alread implementd the solor and partner drills into my training. Best of all, these videos can be download, so that you can create your own grappling library. I greatly appreciate that the techniques in the videos are easily viewable and that during the demonstration of a technique, sound rationale and attention to detail are provided. I also enjoy the "cerebral aspect" that the "mental edge" senario and game plan outlines and the training analysis worksheet have to offer. I have spent hours each day, since I signed up, reading different avenues of this guide. It seems as if new information is added on a daily basis.

My advise to anyone looking to kick their grappling game up a notch, is to invest in the premium package. It is well worth your pennies and will definately improve your game.

[Grapplers Guide General] - The Grapplers Guide site [Report]

Hi, My name is Josh Vogel and I am a student and instructor at Balance studios in Philadelphia under the Migliarese Brothers. As such, I get to see a pretty huge amount of grappling information on a daily basis. What I like about the Grapplers Guide is that there are a tremendous amount of worksheets, articles and other resources that provide useful information for me to help organize and make the most of what I learn in Class. The fact that there are (at the time of this writing) 20 or so Black belts on the forum is pretty awesome as well; it's a great opportunity for the forum members to bounce ideas off of more expererienced grapplers and get a different perspective on what they are learning. The last thing that I would like to mention is that the Video commentary section is awesome! You will see what I mean if you sign up, it's definitely worth it! Josh Vogel

[Grapplers Guide General] - combination section [Report]

Hello everyone,my name is Tom and I'm a beginner grappler(about 6 months).I really love this site-so much information here! I really look forward to seeing the new combination section-think its really gonna help my game.

[Grapplers Guide General] - Phenomenal Resource for Grapplers [Report]

Grapplersguide.com is easily the best site out there for anyone looking to improve in the grappling area. I hesitate to call it a 'discussion forum' site. It's far more than that! It's a total grappling resource; technique videos and drills, play by play grappling match analysis, sport psychology, conditioning routines, and yes there is a discussion forum... Lots of advanced belts who are all very helpful in answering anything thrown at them (often with video responses). There is just a huge amount of information here for the money. Joining grapplersguide is probably the best thing a grappler can do off the mat to improve their game.

[Grapplers Guide General] - I Love the Grappler's Guide!! [Report]

The Grappler's Guide is easily one of the best forums for improving your grappling game that I have seen yet. There are so many awesome BJJ Brown Belt and Black Belt members with some really great advice on a wide range of subjects. The Grappler's Guide is a place you feel welcome to belong.
