Even those of us who train at the gym or academy three or four times a week can sometimes feel like we’re simply not doing enough to perfect our game. Maybe you’ve just picked up one of the latest instructional books or DVDs from Budovideos.com, and you’re eager to drill these new techniques at home with a friend?

The fact of the matter is that for many of us, it is impossible to be out there on the school’s mats every day. Now, the solution is simple: Bring that same tatami mat home to you!

Vinicius “Draculino” stopped in earlier this week to shoot his new BJJ technique DVD, and with him he brought fellow Gracie Barra black belt and 5 time world champion Romulo Barral. While we can’t give too much information away about the DVD, we can tell you that it promises to be one of the most interesting, and unique technique DVDs you’re likely to come across. With the amount of techniques we shot the editing will take a little while so the set won’t be available until early Spring, but we can promise you, it’s worth the wait.

For the first time in BJJ Worlds history this release features professional play-by-play commentary by black belts Shawn Williams and Sean Flanery. Listening to their commentary will increase your understanding of the art while they break down the moves and strategies of the top competitors in the world. In addition to commentary, Shawn Williams gets on the mat and shows you in detail how to do some of the most exciting moves of the finals. This is a first in the BJJ world and will make this the most exciting and educational Worlds DVD ever!

After being out of print for 20 years, Saito’s comprehensive Aikido book series is finally getting a much needed re-release. Putting the new volume side by side with the original printing shows that they are both nearly identical. The new volume is printed on glossy paper with great quality photos. While used copies were selling for $200- $300, the new printing sells for under $100. If you are an Aikido practitioner, your book collection isn’t complete without this classic from one of the most respected students of the founder.
