Best Bang for Buck BJJ DVD (instr.)?

I'm looking for the best bang for your buck instructional BJJ DVD... emphasis on basics and intermediate.

So far it seems as if Cesar Gracie's 3 DVD set may be it... it spans basics to advanced. (link for reference: Budovideos.com - Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Instructional 3 DVD Set)

BJJ progressive. Great gi stuff on there but its somewhat limited.

Check out some of the books, there just like the videos, but a lot cheaper. 1001 Submissions is said to be pretty good

Thanks Bill - I'm going to give this a try. I would have to agree for a book and DVD from someone of his level that $25 is a steal.

Thanks for all the feedback from everyone else as well.

Kesting's stuff is very good, but it doesn't give you "bang for your buck". At $35-40 per DVD, you'd pay over $200 for a "complete series"

Well if you want a cheaper DVD series with hundreds moves listed, none of which link to one another, or is explained in great detail...than you are right...Kestlings DVD are not "you best bang for you buck"

But if you want a quality DVD...that is typically at least 2 hours in length, that presents a system (linking each move/technique together) allowing you to gain an understanding of how to actually apply a move/technique and giving you TONS of info on counters and recounters...than i stand by my initial statement...ANYTHING by stehphen kestling
