are you looking to learn gi or no gi? with gi i like marcelo garcia, he has amazing instructionals that are made for smaller guys. he also has no gi too. renzo and rodrigo gracie both have good instructional books that are for beginners thru advanced so they are a good way to start, lots of photos too. if you are no gi, eddie bravo has some very good ones but those are more advanced usually. start with the gracies and machados and work your way up.

Tapes or DVD will not help you at all. Tell me this how are you sure you are not developing bad habbits? You seem quite intellegent so I will tell you this- find a true instructer near where you live. If one cannot be found, simply find a practicioner of a style that can tell you all he knows and you two or however many can find an instructor or just find out new moves and spar and train together. Please do NOT use instrucional DVD's as in a real fight you will get seriously hurt.

Here are some I really thought were good
Saul Riberio freestyle revolution
Roy Harris BJJ 101 and 201
Mike Swain Judo Ne Waza
Alan Goes
you can subrsribe to MMAvault.com for some good ones.
They help me is all I can say to the critics. I watch and then try to incorporate while I practice. I've found certain moves that worked for me that I learned right from DVDS

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position from which to force an attacker to submit. The system developed from a modified version of pre-World War II Judo including some techniques from Japanese Jujutsu and with a focus on ne-waza (ground technique). It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Sparring and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition.
