Sorry to bring up an old thread and I know this question is asked hundreds of times.
Do these answers still apply today or has something new come along? I love Maia.
I'm training two months now. Just wanted to check with you guys before I buy it, if Maia's instructional is too advanced for a two month noob.
Also off topic, when will we see Maia again in the UFC?

Thanks guys, I'm going to buy the Maia set because he explains why everything is supposed to be the way it is. I'll get the first edition.
Join an online program, like MGinaction or Draculino's. This way you can consistenly get new stuff on your own time.
IDK why you would buy 1 DVD set when all this is available.
A DVD you pay for once. A subscription site you pay for every month, and you also have to have an internet connection if you want to watch anything from it (whereas with a DVD, I can rip it to mp4 and stick it on my phone).
Which is a shame, as lots of online sites have very interesting material which I'd like to watch, but I don't want to pay a recurring fee and only ever have the option of streaming it from the internet (particularly as my internet connection is pants and has a bandwidth cap). Still hoping that GracieUniversity puts some of their blue belt stuff onto a DVD.
Having said that, I may well check out the 7 day free trial for MGinAction over christmas when I'm at my parents, as their internet is rather better than mine.
you can download the vids in most cases. I still have most of the vids from MG in action's first year on my laptop, not sure if you still can or not

I completely understand what you're saying. However, he noted he trains w/ friends and I am going to assume he is going to continue training. I also assume he has internet as he posts on here and watches youtube videos. So lets say he buys a $100+ DVD set w/ about 45 moves. If he joins an online site he is only going to be playing between $15-$25/mo, furthermore he can possibly split this w/ his friends/training partners. If so that is about 4 months of tons of videos before he equals the price of the DVD. Also his friends would be able to watch it at their houses, and all come together to study it. I can see the problem though w/ people w/ low internet connections.
