Austin McDaniel is a 14-year old boy from Indiana who loves video games and electric guitar. He gets good grades, has loving parents, and is kind to others.

On one fateful day in September 2012, he had his dignity ripped away by a heartless bully who viscously assaulted him at school in front of his peers. Austin was choked from behind and subsequently knocked unconscious by a barrage of punches to the face.all of which was caught on camera by the school's security surveillance system.After seeing the footage of the assault, Rener Gracie reached out to the McDaniel family to invite them to come to California so that Austin could rebuild what was taken from him during the attack.

They accepted the offer, and in this short documentary you will witness the transformation that took place over a single week of intensive training (20+ hours of instruction) at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in June of 2013.Before the assault, Austin didn't think it was possible for someone to be kind, courteous, and respectful while ALSO being strong, confident, and assertive. Now he knows otherwise.

Learning Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has given him the confidence to take a stand against bullies and the technique to defend himself non-violently should he ever need to.Every time a child commits suicide as a result of bullying, it could have been avoided.

REVIEW OF CURRENT BJJ ONLINE LEARNING SITESYou can view my older list of Sites here.I'm hoping by writing this I can help you, as a fellow jiujitsu student, decided on a online training site to supplement with your training. I've only listed sites that I have joined myself and have been a member of. I'll list pro's and con's of each site as long as the overall TLDR;New sites on the block.($25 a month$250 a year /w free gi): Newest kid on the block, well not really.

Just new to me. Robert's site has about 110 videos on it right now with a lot of room to grow. High level of instruction from a world champion. Pros: Level of instruction is amazing. Robert takes the time to explain all the little details and transitions.

I'm really enjoying the level of instruction along with reasons why he goes into the positions he does. Cons: Still a fairly new site. Archives still small enough to go through in a day or so (pro/con?). I need more content.

TLDR; Quality content, but small.($24.95 a month): Keenan's site has come a long way since it came out a little over 2 years ago. It's been remade and modified a few times. Pro: He has a lot of videos on the moves that works for him and the drills that can help you implement them in your game as well. The site itself has matured dramatically since it's inception and for what it's worth I know Keenan has been constantly taking input from users on how to make it better.

Worm guard, Mantis guard, Counters, and drills. A lot of content and I would consider a good build up a more seasoned Bjj'er. Cons: I don't really know if it has much for the brand new student with fundamentals but you may be able get something out of it. I've not yet been able to successfully put Keenan's game into mine. But then again I'm a horrible Bjj'er lol.($199 a year For Fundamentals, $279 a year For Intermediate, $399 for both 1 year): What Can I say about this site. Pros: taught by Fabio Gurgel and Jacare. Along with Henrique who use to teach at Marcelo Garcia's school.

Pros: good solid fundamentals and intermediate program. Cons: I think you can get this everywhere else. And it's too god awfully expensive. I would rather spend that money on more techniques from other places and train the fundamentals in class.TLDR; awesome teachers but pricey.($19.99/$200 a year): I think along the lines of Keenan's site this site as well has come a long way. I remember when first signing up there was only maybe 75 videos up. Content was sparse and video wasn't that high a quality.

Since then it's come a long way as well. A lot of upgrades were done with production and instruction. All the machado bros make appearances on the site. Each with their own nuances on teaching.

Cost is lower than most others. Cons: wish the searching was a little better.

TLDR; good quality siteseaching is a pain.($15 a month$150 a year with 2 months free): Sean Apperson & Ricardo 'Franjinha' Miller site. Pro: I really don't know how to describe how strong this site competes with the top few like Marcelo's and the Mendes Bros. There's a lot of content here from the likes of Jeff Glover, Travis Stevens and Matt Lindland to name a few. Categories go from jiujitsu to judo along with wrestling and drills. It's a really strong showing from a fairly new site.

I like where they're going with it. I was a member for a month or so and I find it just as much as a complete site that incorporates many aspects of grappling to help you in your game. Fallout 2 advanced power armor. Takedowns, clinch work, grips etc. It's a great by at $15 a month. I highly recommend it. Cons: none really.($297.00 life time/3 installments of $79 lifetime): Jason Scully's site. This site has been around for a long time.

When I say a long time I think Jason started this before he got his black belt. (He can correct me. He visits a lot. ) Pros: Content Content Content. I've been a life time member since the very beginning 1.0. I forgot to write about the site last time but his site is really worth the mention here. The sheer content a massed on this site is great.

Along with the lesson plans and position plans here. Unquestionably a great reason to be a member of this site.

After signing up you get it for the lifetime of the site. Cons: maybe getting use to the forum aspect of the site. But that's really not a problem. TLDR; Be a member of this site.($5 a month!): Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet Jiujitsu. Do bjj while high!!! Pros: for 5 bucks this site is great half guard twister resource.

Holy sh.t has this site improved my half guard game. Unlike most of the other sites the videos aren't categorized like half guard here top guard here. It's all episodic. 1-102(?) Great insight on the bjj life and some awesome characters (Renato Leranja) and lessons learned.

For 5 bucks there's no reason not to just use this site consitently. Cons: Episode based training may not be your thing. TLDR; Cheap as shit quality bjj instruction.SITES I'VE REVIEWED BEFORE BUT HAVE REVISITED TO UPDATE MY REVIEWS.($25 a month/$250 a year)( free week on me use 'giftedrage' as a promo code): This huge archive of knowledge that is MGINACTION. Pros: Like I've said before I'm pretty bias to this site since this is where I train.

But for god sakes Marcelo's site is massive. The amount of storage space used to host this site must be painful. I have a love hate relationship with this site. I love that all this technique is on this site. The drills, the live rolling all of it is amazing!!!!

Sheer amazing. But you really can get lost in this site.

Beginner Jiu Jitsu Moves

There's so much information put together here that it can just be daunting. You want to learn Butterfly guard? 11743 videos.

What the high hell!?!!! Over 50k videos on the site.

It may take you a lifetime to go through. And that's a good thing. Cons: Too many videos. Videos everywhere. Too many videoss!!!.($25 a month/$250 a year): Saulo's and Xande's University of Jiujitsu.

Pros: I consider this site an encyclopedia of knowledge. I really like their instruction. I've managed to incorporate a lot of their videos into my own game. A lot of guest appearances from Micheal Liera, Lucas Leite, and AJ Sousa to name a few. In my last review all praise for Saulo's teaching continues.

As far as I'm concerned I think Saulo by far is the best teacher out there when it comes to explaining and teaching his students as well as his online course. Lucky enough we get to see him teach and review the common mistakes that he sees in his students. Cons: not as many videos as Marcelo's but that's probably a good thing. TLDR; Saulo's instruction is phenomenal, wish there were more videos.($25 a month/$250 a year): I haven't been back to this site in awhile.

They've redesigned it as well. Between AOJ and BJJ LIBRARY in the past use to look quite the same. But now AOJ's site design is more sleeker and a bit faster. Pros: High leg drag and berimbolo game eccentric game. This is not to say that they don't focus on the fundamentals as well because they do. Overall great site and design. Cons: teaching is ok.

I would rate them 7/10 for the way they teach. If you're not flexible or a stiff bjj player the berimbolodlr game may not be for you. But the passing Kiss of the dragon stuff is superb. TLDR; good site for the flexible student.($25 a month/$149 a year): Has gone through a revision as well. Content is still sparingly done. But the quality is there.

Pros: a lot of quality instruction. Cons: like i said in my older review I wish there were more updates. TLDR; needs more updates. Maybe daily.($25 a month/$250 a year): Caio's site. Pros: great site Caio's the originator of the lesson plan.

Pros: he's revamped this site. Along with the lesson plans and position lesson plans the site is a good one. I think Caio's site tries to help students develop their games with lesson plans mapped out in a flow chart view. It's helps a lot for the analytical mind.

If I do this and he reacts do this if not do that. Really interesting way of teaching. Caio's very concise and clear with his instruction and reasoning for it. The site is organized well.

Cons: Even though limited with videos the quality of instruction makes up for it. TLDR; crisp clear instruction.($25 a month/$250 a year): A MGINACTION Clone. Pros: the amount of videos is getting up there with Marcelo's site. Almost 5k worth of videos on the site.

Braulio's instruction is great ever since his invisible jiujitsu dvd's and cagefilm stuff. He's a good teacher and he plays a very tall game. For us bigger fellas out there its definitely a site to check out. Cons: no where near the amount of content as Marcelo's but can anyone really compete with that?Honorable mentions for site you may be looking for.(TBD): Roberto 'Cyborg' Aberu.: Draculino's site.: Flipe Costa's site.:Sites that I'm looking forward to trying.

I'll do one.($25 per month)Not strictly BJJ, but great for a BJJer. It's mostly nogi grappling with some MMA and striking video. Has at least a few thousand videos. Erik has put out a tremendous amount of DVDs in his career, that's what you will find here; every single DVD he has ever made.

That includes all the yearly seminar and camp DVDs he puts out. They recently redid the site, so it is a bit more organized. Great wrestling and catch wrestling stuff as well. This gives it a unique perspective from a lot of the other websites. The CSW student is a great progression for learning grappling as well.

There are videos from people other than Erik as well, including my coach. Makes it great for me since it is like a time machine to see what we were training years back.Cons: Bob Burgee has done a great job of editing out of the videos how crazy Erik is. There are no videos of his meditations. No videos of him going on about how much the Gracies have fucked him over (true). No videos complaining about Josh Barnett.

No videos of him talking about energy fields. Nothing about ghosts. Just to add another perspective, I have been a member of many of these sites over time, and I find AOJ to have, in my opinion, the best technical instruction of all of them (although EstimaInAction is close), and I find it applicable for a wide variety of body shapes and sizes. I am one of the least flexible people I know, I am roughly Marcelo Garcia shaped, and I mostly play half guard, so I have nothing even close to Rafa's or Gui's body type or game, but the conceptual ideas they cover and the wide variety of topics they instruct on (way beyond just DLR/RDLR and Berimbolo) have made their site my favorite.

Now that they have added videos from all of their other instructors it is even better. They have, in my mind, the perfect combination of depth and brevity, and of concept and move/movement. They also post a lot of great drills. I watch damn near everything they release.

The interface is also the best of all of the sites I have tried, and is very representative of their academy's look.Contrast that with MGInAction, which should be much more applicable to me based on my game and body type, and I don't get nearly as much from the online instruction. Now, I am positive that I would gain a lot from that classroom environment, in a room full of people doing those drills, but it doesn't transfer well through the site as a delivery system. The only exception here is Paul Schreiner, whose videos are amazing; but that brings up another issue: you can't sort videos by instructor, which is something I would really prefer. MGInAction is nevertheless worth it for the In Action clips and the sparring.I also wanted to point out that I have to agree on the excellence of Caio Terra's website. His technical understanding of Jiu Jitsu may be unparalleled. You can tell that they constantly re-work the presentation and the video methodology to try to create a better and better product each day.

They have tried some interesting things with the video (starting off with slow motion clips of the technique before teaching it, for example); I like seeing the drive toward innovation.BJJ Library I also agree is excellent, and is quite different from the other sites in that in addition to frequent updates from Saulo and Xande, it basically features a new 'DVD set' each month from a guest instructor, so its tagline's claims that it is 'the Netflix of BJJ' is more true than you might expect. It's a nice alternate approach that I really appreciate.

Their site navigation is currently undergoing some revamps right now, though, so until that is complete/fixed, navigation is really ugly.Keenan's site has great content, but it uses the Vimeo player for its videos which is virtually un-watchable for probably 95% of the denizens of the internet, so until that changes it'll remain useless to me. Vimeo's streaming and buffering protocols are so terrible it is laughable.

I had a big problem with unsubscribing from MGInAction. It's easy to unsubscribe but the moment you do, your access to the site is shut down. So if you pay for a month and after a week decide it isn't for you, you get shut out of the site if you cancel then. You basically have to wait until the day before you'll be billed again to cancel.I've never seen another website not let you continue using it until the next billing date.

I paid $25 dollars for the month and because I cancelled two weeks early, I essentially paid $25 for two weeks. To be fair, they do tell you that at cancellation, but it is still a weird move.
