Brilliant for older practitioners
The beauty of Danaher's instructional videos is the small details that make all the difference. This has markedly improved my game rolling with younger and bigger guys.

Just what I was looking for.
I’m a purple belt and mid 40s. This is exactly what I was looking for in terms of what to focus in my training. The techniques are super practical with a ton of detail. Looking forward to purchasing the top game of this series as well!

Ageless Jiu Jitsu: Winning When You're Older and Less Athletic- Bottom Game Gi by John Danaher
The depth of instruction in this video series is exceptionally good. As a 53 year old black belt I appreciate the technical details that have already made a measurable difference in my ability to control my younger, stronger and faster training partners without fatigue.
Bottom position
Great system giving the bottom player options in many situations
Great Instructional
Very informative instructional. Mr. Danaher breaks down techniques into small and very digestible pieces not only explaining the “how” but also the “why”. I have been able to incorporate some of the principles into my game. The best part about this instructional is he covers strategy and technique for older athletes getting into the sport.
Great after a series of
Great after a series of injuries.
A must have for anyone over 40 years old
This course has helped survive and at sometimes thrive at my academy where I’m one of the older students. I’m 40 and this course has helped me continue to train several times a week with mostly under 30 year olds.
great

good stuff for the older BJJ player
very clear and informative - good base for drilling
how to win as an older bjj athlete
I've only recently started this. it's exactly what you would think. extremely detailed with great content.
Awesome
Great approach and details not just for older athletes but anyone actually. Wonderful overview of BJJ the covers bottom guard and escapes, and sweeps!
Just what I needed
This instructional has really helped me to focus my intention and attention towards a specific game that works exceedingly well with my limited attributes. Danaher is a genius and I believe this type of guidance will help me to increase my longevity and enjoyment in the sport.
Bottom game TOP game
Great instructional Danaher is the instructor which every Bjj trainer desires. Top
As good as you'd think!
Comprehensive system for us old guys/gals. Highly detailed breakdowns from many angles, each element leading into the other. While I've watched the full video, there is so much detail, one has to zero in and really pay attention and take notes. However, the results are fantastic. I'm 52, will be 53 in less than 4 months. The guys in the gym I used to absolutely dread rolling, I am now able to leverage the info in this video to great effect, including getting to submissions multiple times per round, which is great getting the tap from these guys who used to dominate me. We all want to get better and going up against younger, stronger, more athletic opponents used to be a huge nightmare for me, but now, the tables have turned. If you are an older guy or less athletic, I highly recommend this and it's sister video 'Top Game Gi'. I've only applied about 5% to my rolling, because I'm a slow learner and yet my results are over 500%! I really can't say enough good about this video.
Useful as Always
John Danaher always bringing the epic details

great
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Another homerun of an instructional
50 year old purple belt here and this instructional really helps to consolidate all of your knowledge to date into a system designed for older guys. I also have some health issues that impact my cardio so playing a funnel based game is critical. This is well thought out and I recommend putting this strategy into use. You'll see quick results. Especially if you've been doing BJJ for a while.
Response from BJJ Fanatics👏🏼👏🏼ageless

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Very helpful!
So thoughtful and well laid out. Gives me some confidence i competing against the young guys.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Amazing as always!
Danaher is incredible.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗I’m a Blackbelt and I
I’m a Blackbelt and I still learn so much from watching John’s videos. Whatever technique I’m teaching my students for the week I will refresh by watching one of John’s video first. This series is particularly helpful since I’m 48 and most of my adult students are 40 plus with some in their 60s with limited mobility and other old injuries that limited their athleticism and explosiveness. This series addresses those issues and gives solid techniques that rely on leverage and body mechanics versus strength and flexibility. Great job, John!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great instructions for older guys game.
This is very helpful and extensive tutorial. Highly recommended.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Best Video for 40+ BJJ Practioners!
John has doen it again with a great video dedicated to us ( older folks who refuse to give in to our age and want to keep on training)!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Very good
Very informative for older people, would recommend!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Very helpful for being 66.
Very informative and practical, I am a big fan of John and Bernardo. In hindsight, I wish I only bought their tapes.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗.

solid content for older grapplers
this includes a practical series of sweeps and escape options that I can tailor to my body type and experience level
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Incredible Customer Service
I purchased a video series and for whatever reason I couldn't gain access to the material. I called and emailed customer support for assistance. BJJ Fanatics support came through big time! They were so helpful and gracious! Awesome to work with them
Response from BJJ FanaticsThanks so much, John! It's our pleasure to help our loved customers! 🤗Great! What I need.
Great! What I need.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Danaher
Danaher. Timeless
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Excellent video with clear detailed explanations
Once again, a very good instructional video from John Danaher. Good advice from him on how to roll with younger and more athletic teammates, but I know it is not going to be easy :) Still, it is worth spending the time watching this a couple of times and drilling it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Another win from Danaher
Another thorough, detailed, complete system from Danaher. Immediate change in bottom position philosophies
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Superb!
This is the first course I purchased from Mr Danaher, and I'm happy to say it was everything I wished for and more. Excellent selection of techniques for older grapplers. As a purple belt I was already somewhat familiar with some of the material, but still found many extremely valuable details to increase my effectiveness. I also love Mr Danaher's continual reinforcing of important concepts, as well as the way different sections are interlinked - for example, always escaping to half guard/knee shield, which ties in perfectly with the preferred attacks from bottom position.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Game-changing instructional
I'm not even "older and unathletic"... but this series is making my bjj way more efficient and effective.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Fantastic resource
highly recommend this as an aging purple belt trying to stay in the game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗The best coach

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great Detail

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great detail
This instructional really does well in making sure all possible questions are answered before they would be asked. So much detail, yet very easy to understand.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Bottom Game Hurra!!!
Great sequel of the go further faster series with great details of how to increase your gripfighting and control over your oponent to sliw down and hit your attacks. Strategicaly and technicaly speaking. Anothee absolute Must Have!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great tactics
I watched all of Danaher's Gi instructionals and whislt some of these technique appear in earlier releases, i like the structure of this instructional because it condenses the concepts into a more taqctic strategic framework.
