Ageless Jiu Jitsu by John Danaher
The content in this instructional has greatly accelerated my Jui Jitsu journey. The more I train the more relevant each and every part becomes. I fall into the "older or less athletic" catagory and and this video delivers
attacks from head lock
Uses theory . Doesn't merely show moves. Gives information from both opponents perspective. Plan B for everything.
Perfect For Older Beginners
A great place to start the journey. I loved the sections about leaving the keys to basic defense and escaping bad pins. It helped me right away.
Top-notch
John is a legend. His instructionals are top-notch. With this instructional you can slow down and even simplify the bottom game. Absolutely great.
Altug
It is great to see something for veterans. I start learning to use my advantages against speed and age. The instructions keep every info clear, easy to learn and effective. What can I say, I highly reccomend it..
Ageless: No Gi Bottom Game
Awesome stuff !!!
John Danaher Continues to Deliver!
John Danaher's series continue to prove their superiority in developing jiu jitsu athletes. In the case of this series, older or more athletically compromised athletes
Ageless Jiu Jitsu
Excellent bottom game from half guard for slower/older people
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Downscaled half guard and very good
Its a downscale of Half-guard- but being older myself - in this course Danaher really impresses the way he put together things. You follow the course just as you practice - and add-on techniques and understanding of positions as you go on.. its really very well and simple presented. Videos not too long and down to the point with good explanation I think any person wanting to learn half-guard can benefit this as a "core". Not only older. Later - When you get older you already established the systematic way he shows. I could take the instructions right out to the mat and it really worked. I think the way the techniques are presented in a linear and very good way made this course one of the best i seen. A must for all older, stiffer or less athletic or less stronger. And those preparing for older days...This video is a gem for you. The survival tips - on how to survive pins - are really good and worked instantly. Best survival strategies i have encountered.. This video made me even more inspired about BJJ. Priceless video . More than highly recommended.
Fantastic details as always!
Fantastic details as always!
Philosophy Mixed With Practicality
Knowledgeable and concise instruction
Good Skill for all ages
He taught me simple is best.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Perfect for the older, less able-bodied athlete and raging bull alike!
Danaher has such a mastery of Jiu-Jitsu and has a gift of delivering succinct instruction while informing the viewer not just what to do, but why the movement matters. Each of his videos are thoroughly structured in a progressive manner. This series focuses on moves that require minimal strength and athleticism. Even though this series is geared toward the older practitioner, this thought process should be developed early on so that athletes can continue their game into their golden years. Thanks for all of the information, like always, John!!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great John. I need this.
Great John. I need this. Terrific video techniques . I enjoy this approach of ageless BJJ
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Danaher
Danaher is always reliable. Forget about professor. He is the president.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great explanation and instructions
Just starting out. Good information for me to start with. Will probably take a while before I can apply it.
Great!

Danahers instructions always improve my technique.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Stuff
A large part of this video is a slowed down version of Danaher's Half Guard system. "Slowed down" is what you need when you get to a certain age. It's just as effective but it takes into consideration that the student/viewer isn't a twenty-one year old athlete. Another great section is about surviving pins. Not escaping, surviving. Great stuff to keep in mind when you're getting smashed.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻In-depth and effective
Like all Danaher instructionals this is in-depth and a complete view on efficiency when you have limitations in your game. Some great insights. Recommended for everyone over 35.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Ageless Jiu Jitsu: Winning When You're Older or Less Athletic - Bottom Game by John Danaher
As fantastic as ever! There is nobody better to explain how things are working!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Perfect instructional!
Excellent, John has provided clear and concise strategy and tactics on how to survive and frustrate younger and faster opponents. My attitude to being on the bottom has changed completely.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Game Changer
After almost twenty years of being out of shape I found BJJ and finally got back to it but other students were continuously outperforming me and putting me to shame during rounds. This helped me accept where I'm at and equipped me with the perspectives and technique needed to step up my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Can start using immediately on the mats
Definitely translates to the mat. Of course, nothing is ever as easy as it looks in videos, but this series gives you great concepts and techniques that you can work on immediately during your rolls. The more tools you can use the better, and this series has really given me some good basics that I can use m, and tweak as I see fit

Mr. Danaher has Amazing technical breakdown. I can’t wait for the gi set to come out.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great instructional
Are you old, weak and useless like me? Then is is for you. So much content that if you can't remember it all you can always hit them with it. Forget using your winter heating payment for fuel buy this instead and you will be hot on the mats all year.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Another 10 out of 10 for Sensei Danaher
Sensei Danaher knocks it out of the park with this one - again! Thoughtful, thorough, and easy to follow. If you're even thinking about getting this, do it. I'm a 4th degree bb and now in my early 60's (still rolling :-) ). Started training BJJ very late, when I was 36, in 1996. I even trained for a few short years as a blue belt at Renzo's in NYC along side Professor Danaher (when he was also a blue belt and then had earned his purple). Not just talking sh*t here, but there was something special about him even way back then. He was analyzing and breaking things down for his fellow students like no one I'd seen before - or since - and between him and Renzo I learned A LOT there. Not just how to execute techniques, but how to "think". John's the man and we, the BJJ community, owe him an enormous debt for all he has done for our beloved martial art.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Awesome!
Awesome!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻As someone starting BJJ late
As someone starting BJJ late in life (in my 40s), I find hope in this video! I have to watch it a few times and I love every moment of this. Instructions were clear. Big fan of John Danaher!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Really enjoined the game plan
I really enjoyed the broader "bottom" game plan. There was a bit of this and that included various ways to enter halfguard and even chokes from front headlocks. I felt this had a slightly faster feel and a cleaner approach with a bit less repetitive compared to some of his other instructionals. My bottom game has improved and these are moves I could easily do as I age.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great
Great
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Gold mine for older grapplers.
This provides a clear, systematic approach to the bottom position both in terms of tactics and strategy for older practitioners. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Simple & effective BJJ
If you are someone who is slightly less agile/mobile due to age, or injury... This instructional is for you!
Best instructionals in the martial arts world
Awesome
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥Great addition to my collection.
Great addition to my collection. Gave me some great things to add to techniques that I’ve been using a while.
Lots of stuff!
I’m 57 years young. There is nothing on this video I can’t pull off when I roll. This man explains things really well. Very helpful.
Old Man BJJ!
Great video!
Do yourself a favor and pick this one up!
John Danaher does it again with this instructional. It provides the student with a game plan tailored to those older or perhaps less athletic. You will find that the techniques and strategies found here will help you remain competitive on the mats by giving you a style of Jiujitsu that ages well. If you are looking for help keeping up with athleticism, scoop this series up!
As always…..Danaher gives you details

Excellent information with outstanding instruction. Exactly the information needed for the older or less physically capable practitioner
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Thank you from all of
Thank you from all of us who will get old
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗J.C.
The best No Gi instructional older/less athletic practitioners. Professor Danaher does not compromise the fundamentals concepts with tricks or special moves. He has logically and systematically cherry picked they best options from his vast domain of knowledge and applied to less athletic/older practitioners. (In my case, both.) He answers the "Why" questions regarding the concepts/techniques and demonstrates the "How?" The fundamentals definitely transfer to GI, but this is No Gi specific.
