Great stuff.
excellent
Great material
Ive been utilizing the concepts and techniques from this and it has excelled my comfort and ability in half guard.
Sensei John! The level of detail is unmatched! Greatest vids out there!
Danaher is TOP As always Must have!
Great instructional
This is a must have if you are older or not athletic. Even if you are it's good to learn so you can not burn loads of energy.
It’s always nice to tie everything that you’ve been learning over the years together.
Great instructional!
good
Professor John Danaher developed a really applicable toolkit for less athletic and less flexible guys. Pillars, strategies provide the techniques. Highly recommend!!
Very useful instructional, Danaher can always give us a differente approach, many of us have difficulty training as we age and this is GOLD
great informative course
The way John delivers a message is really like no other! the attention to detail is awsome and gives you plenty to take into training
This instructional helped me to put together a game plan and strategy as an older grappler
Great instructional as any Danaher’s one!!! TOP
Fundamental grappling not based on athletitism but on conepts that are aplicable for any age or athletic ability., All grapplers can benefit from the information in this instructional.
Good info and approach, find myself playing from bottom often and my escapes and positional transitions and reversals have improved steadily using just a few of the techniques as I work my way through and find what works well in my old man game
For a 51 y.o. jiujiteiro no gi bottom can be very hard. With the gi off and no real grips it's difficult to stop and even slow down a stronger and faster opponent. As always John D. gives us a complete system to manage these problems an learn, not to only survive, but attack an win.
Nicely presented in a way that concentrates on a small set of key positions and techniques to help older or injured individuals to continue to train and compete on the mats
great series for older guys 56 purple. Danahers coaching is on point with our limited mobility.
A veritable bible of tools & tactics for aging grapplers
its good
I am new to BJJ. For context, I am in my early 40s. I am strong and have good knowledge of the fundamentals, but I could tell my lack of flexibility was going to be an issue. This approach to BJJ is helping me to use my strength to slow down younger, faster opponents. Great video content and clear explanations.
As a new white belt learning these basics have been critical to my survival in Jiujitsu. I reference this video routinely for deeper understanding and technique.
Provides a lot of good insight
great iinstruction from Professor Danaher. I already used one of his techniques to prevent a choke I usually got caught with before.
A must for all Jiujiteros of every belt level. Fundamentals are always the base of any technique instructed and applied throughout our training. Coach Zahabi is clear and concise throughout this instructional, and very well produced. Thank you BJJFanatics!!!
amazing
this one is extremely comprehensive and captivating, giving the impression that you are sitting there while a college professor explains mechanics. The lighting and camera angles are excellent, and the overall teaching quality will help the game for older players advance.
Systematic approach. Easy to follow. Years worth of information. Just what I need after a knee surgery is slowing me down (even more than usual)
Practical realistic methods/philosophy for youth challenged grapplers. Also demonstrates the defense aspects of Jiu-Jitsu.
Mostly fundamental techniques, but presented in a way that works well for the 40+ practitioner.
As an older grappler at an MMA gym this series is invaluable to me. Working to slow down those younger athletes is a chore. Prof John does what he typically does and explains everything in exhausting detail. Love it!
Outstanding content! At age 69 this video is my go to for improving my bottom game and escapes. If I could only keep and work from one BJJ Fanatics instructional, this would be the one!
I really like how John Danaher gives you techniques that enables you to move slowly from the ground in this course video, I can't wait to have all these mechanics memorized with ageless top game.
great stuff even with all my issues
J. Danaher empowers us 50 year olds and up with timeless principles to keep our younger more athletic opponents at bay. Use that isometric strength to slow their mobility down, let them exhaust themselves then launch your counter attack. Its so much fun to surprise the young ones and JD shows you how!
Perfect instructions for my age! Love how he breaks it down in simple pieces.
This Ageless series is invaluable...as we all want to keep rolling as long as possible. Thank you John!
good
Effective and Useful Techniques! Thanks for wonderful instructional
great content. gave me better understanding of the positions and other concepts.
As usual the details are extremely useful and practical.
5 stars with the great John Danaher!
Definitly recommend this video for those ,like myself, who is getting older and slower. Also, it's helpful for someone like myself who is smaller than most and serves a reminder that technique is key. I'll definitely want to get the other videos from Danaher's Ageless series
