Any other DVD recommendations? I've been wanting to learn this guard. I'm nervous though because 99% of what I know is from full guard.

Yeah, you should definitely try to rectify that. The closed guard is great, but you need to be proficient in various other guards (open, butterfly, half) to be a good bottom player. BFG gets me to top position like no other which is why I enjoy playing it. Being on top beats the hell out of being on bottom. When I'm on top, I'm a lot more methodical and patient because I have time and energy to work, and it saves gas because you don't have a guy's weight on you constantly.
As for others dvds, I've heard good things about Saulo, Marcelo, and Sperry, but I haven't seen them so I don't know what exactly they cover. Check out budovideos.com or other websites that cater to the martial arts crowd.
