This is the perfect instructional - every single part of it works and is effective. Don't hesitate, gramps!
Real deal for those who want some guidance in building their game plan from bottom in Gi.
Not only older folks will profit from this instructional. Note, it's much more condensed than the typical Danaher DVD - less theory and much more techniques.
This is the instructional I keep returning to. Lots of great detail here.
The entire bottom gameplan in amazing detail by one of the best BJJ coaches out there!
This is an awesome instructional. Covering a great game plan for older & less athletic person.
I used this game plan to train for my last comp and it worked like magic. Very good instructional if you prefer slow and calculated jiu-jitsu style.
You can't wish more than a full game plan for bottom player directly from Danaher.
You essentially has a bottom game plan from Danaher. All of it demonstrated in an untypically concise for Danaher manner.
This class give to me the possibility of the change my game. Now i see the game strategic
For those who like bottom game of gi
really useful tips and techniques that work for anyone, not just us older grapplers
Fantastic instructional
Changed my game
This instructional will turn into classic. Definitely a must in your library. Hopefully John will release more Gi instructionals!
another must-have instructional by the genius John Danaher
Great combo of concepts, guards, and technical applications, formulated to neutralize the younger and more athletic opponent.
As an older, less athletic guy rolling with a bunch of young people, this is just what I needed. It is simple to understand and implement and definitely worth the time and money.
I keep coming back to this instructional, very thorough and explains the reasoning behind every move
Bottom game in a gi by John Danaher
great information on how to roll with younger more athletic opponents. The side control and mount escape techniques are easy to implement, which enable you to burn less energy.
I didn't realize I needed this. as a 44yo who competes absolute against firebreathers this helped a lot.
This training video has thought me things I didn't know and helped me to better understand the things I thought I knew.
lots of details on how to approach fighting younger stronger opponents.
Just need to slow it down a little!
Excellent
Tight waist series rocks!
Very good roadmap and gameplan for bottom position in the Gi.
best content I've seen for putting together many of the techniques we have learned into a sound strategy for an older grappler
Practical and logical techniques that are highly effective. Professor Danaher is excellent at explaining all the necessary details to understand and properly execute the techniques. This is a great instructional for older athletes.
amazing content like all other videos in the Danaher series
so much details!
excellent details on bottom positions
I could watch it everyday. I wish I had this instructional when I started to train. I would have avoided so many scrambes, bad positions, injuries... Now, I try to use those techniques as much as possible in my game. Highly recommend it. Thanks to John and BJJ Fanatics. Oss
Excellent
CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR MAKING A VIDEO DIRECTED US THE OLDER PRACTITIONER
John gives you a complete game. Not just playing bottom position, but actually getting there. this includes from guard pulls in addition to escapes. he doesn't assume everything is going to go right for you. it doesn't matter how good your guard is if you can't get there. so John does a fantastic job at helping you get there from bad positions such as mount, bottom side, etc. this is the best gi bottom game on the market. can't recommend it enough.
the wizardry the wisdom. thank you Professor
JD, you've done it again! great techniques and super efficient.
First off John Danaher does another great job per usual. As an athlete getting dangerously close to 40 I've been able to glean a lot of good information from this instructional. Great tips to tweak some techniques and implement a change strategy to better facilitate long term training.
I like his several basic techniques and concepts.

best roadmap for all fighters how want by successful on mat. Invest in yours deeper understanding bottom game!
Depth of instruction is incredible. I pick up something new everytime I watch.
Typical high quality GI instructional by John Danaher, teaching effective techniques with an overriding strategy. The techniques are taught with the necessary detail (e.g. the how and why) to ensure that they will work for you. With so many BJJ techniques available this instructional should assist you to focus your attention on the ones that will make your game better and more enjoyable from the bottom, particularly if you are an older or perhaps a less athletic BJJ student. It is worth noting that John Danaher has tons of credibility and importantly also fits the target market for this product (e.g. mid-fifties with a hip replacement). The instructional has a total runtime of 9 hours and 35 minutes. The video quality is typical of what is filmed at the BJJ Fanatics studio (i.e. fixed camera) and is consistent with the preview (volume 8 chapter 3 – Scissor sweep with Hiza Guruma on standing opponent) and the trailer. The other aspect that I liked for such a long instructional was that there was good rapport between the John Danaher and his ukes, which made it easier to watch.
The thouroughness of Danahers instructionals is out of this world! This one is exceptionally good and really does work for less-than-peak-performance athletes
Clear and thorough, Danaher presents a wonderful game plan for older competitors.
ageless jiujitsu
JD, as usual great content
Really comprehensive gameplan not only for older folks, but for those who start their BJJ journey and want to have a clear idea what to do on bottom in a single package.
