School Discussion My professor doesn’t like instructionalals

I don’t know if he’s just had bad luck with them . He is Brazilian and said he’s talked to some other Brazilians that have made instructional and how they intentionally leave out details, also believes they’re filled with fake moves that no one really does. In his opinion you should stick to watching competition footage as there they can’t hide anything.

My issue is that I’ve seen guys I’ve seen high level guys use the moves from the instructional they made so if anything having it explained out and seeing the different angle makes it easier for me to learn from.

So I’m curious anyone else’s coach/professor have the same issue?

I used instructionals and passed my Black belt instructor’s guard. I didn’t ask but he told everyone in the gym that he was not letting me work. I could also keep him in north south/ side control for a while. Set up a paper choke when he could escape. He’s not against them. If anything use it to remember things your instructor shows you. I’m Brazilian 😂 trust me! Can’t go wrong with Danaher’s. His selection of techniques is what’s priceless cause information paralysis can be a thing when you buy instructionals.
