It is an encyclopedia of BJJ intermediate to advance techniques. For someone like me who lives in a small town and does not have regular access to a BJJ Black Belt Instructor, books and DVDs like this keep my skills sharp and my learning progressive.

Due to the high number of moves taught on this DVD set the moves are not shown in details and are not suitable for beginner. If you already have at least 2-3 years of grappling experience with the gi/kimono than this DVD set may be for you since is a good refresher for what are your learning in class or something that your might have missed from your instructor.
