Since this one sounds like it sucks what would be a good brazilian jiu jitsu dvd to buy? Especially for someone just starting out. Has anyone heard of the Craig Kukuk dvd collection? is it any good?

Some interesting issues arose on the UG. There are a few hundred posts, with none coming from the instructor in question, and only one terse reply coming from Bravo. Aside from that post, the last five pages or so feature the majority of the "new" questions.
Can you guys give some examples of bad videos?
Or can you post a video and say where they are missing things and what they are missing?

It's cleary evident the lack of training in even the most fundamental moves in bjj...see the arm bar from mount:
The Guillotine....
That's just sad....
Man if you can't see what's wrong in these vids you might be able to see these moves executed in some great back yard brawls on you tube....:redface:

I don't think he needs to put a disclaimer in his videos. That's unnecessary. A disclaimer is needed on his web site; because, (1) BJJ Gear sponsors him (2) He lists GJJ and BJJ as his first primary styles (3) He wasn't ranked in BJJ until recently. It really shouldn't an issue now that he is a purple under Eddie Bravo. Clarification is still nice for their gi videos whenever they wear their black belts, though. Some of the videos are ok, some are not. Just like anything else, really.
I've been critical of some of their clips, but it doesn't mean everything is bad. I enjoyed some of the vids and I'm a purple belt training bjj for years. So I'm curious what's so wrong with the two above vids?
Is it just the lack of details?
I've found even BJ Penn vids lack a lot of details, but they are both free.
The important things are other, IMO.
