Paradigm shifting
"Brown Belt Requirements: Pressure and Efficiency" by Roy Dean focuses on refining one's practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As the title of the set indicates, it's about pressure and efficiency. The set includes 3 DVDs and an Audio CD.

Great higher level theory of GJJ
I might just be greedy but I wish it had more. I loved how things were explain and how the bonus videos of the instructor still training with students. looking forward to the black belt video.
