I heard the fundamentals series will have 8 volumes.
Here is the description I found on the youtube video introducing the series :
Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals is not just a certain set of moves but also the underlying movements
and concepts required to perform all the basic moves, together.
John Danaher's method separates the BJJ Fundamentals into 3 areas which include Standing Position, Ground Position Bottom, and Ground Position Top.
Each of these areas have 5 basic skill within.
Standing Position is composed of Stance, Motion, Grip, Kazushi, and Transitioning to the Ground.
The 5 Fundamental skills of Ground Position Bottom are Pin Escapes, Guard Retention, Guard Sweeps, Half Guard Sweeps, and Turtle Escapes.
The 5 Fundamental skills are Opening a Closed Guard, Passing Open Guard, Passing Half Guard,
Pin Maintenance and Transitioning, and Turtle Breakdowns.
This means Jiu Jitsu is comprised of 15 fundamental positioning skills.
BJJ Fundamentals are THE MOST IMPORTANT to build in the sport of Jiu Jitsu. It's where people struggle the most.
I heard it's going to be 7.
So far:
Escapes
Guard Retention
Half Guard
Closed Guard
Upcoming:
Guard Passing (Opening a Closed Guard, Passing Open Guard, Passing Half Guard)
Top Position (Pin Maintenance and Transitioning, and Turtle Breakdowns)
Standing (Stance, Motion, Grip, Kazushi, and Transitioning to the Ground)
But I guess maybe one of those will be split into two?
