I think instructionals are over rated. Just watch youtube to get the best part of most any instructional for free in a much more efficient time frame.
Majority of instructionals seem to be just a bunch of talking and you gotta skip through 90% of the video anyways.
And thanks for reminding me that Andrew Wiltse kicked my ass about a year ago lol

Lot of Jonathan Thomas these days, I really enjoy his youtube channel. That and the DefensiveBJJ stuff is pretty much the only jiu-jitsu related content I'm watching these days.
The rest is MMA stuff, Nurmagomedov, Wittman and Robinson.

I’ve been playing with Pritt’s stuff for a few months now. It’s been helping me a lot since I’m frequently rolling with guys, younger, stronger, faster, more technical. Even though I’m really only using two parts of his system currently, it drastically reduces how much I get submitted and sets me up to get to better positions via scrambles.

I base what I watch on position. No so. much instructors. However, certain instructors I watch will hold more water over others. But, I honestly don't care what belt or if they're a world champion or not. I can learn from everyone. Everyone does the same thing differently. So, being able to see the different flavors of a certain position or submission is what I'm more interested in when it comes to watching instructional videos.

Very much this! Whether it is to improve my game or to improve my teaching ability, I watch based on the position vs instructor.

I agree with Professor Jay. For myself, as my timebb bjj in training grew, I started to develop a feel for what questions to ask himself in regards to what my game needed, from there I was able to begin searching the web. Though as others have hinted at, certain personalities resonate with me more so I still tend to have some I listen to more than others.

I'm currently working on closed guard stuff so Haueter and Draculino; agree with Jay that it depends on what position I'm working through.

Yes I agree Thomas puts out lots of good stuff.

marcello garcia, (lots of free stuff on youtube)
straight to the point, easy to do and effective AF, even against larger opp!
also, some analysis like bjj-scout helped me more tran instructionnals, because it help to get/understand concept more than juste moves or techniques.

I've got a lot out of Grapplers Guide. Lachlan Giles' submeta.io also seems really good. I've tried to avoid buying individual instructionals for now, as many don't seem great value for money.

I know that it is not BJJ, but I really like Chael Sonnen's video on wrestling and Adam Wheeler's Greco video.
