Very helpful to improve my jiu jitsu
Excellent video
Great value for the content provided
This is one of the best Jiu Jitsu instructional videos that I have ever watched. It is a real game changer with an incredible amount of detail that has become the hallmark of John Danaher’s videos.
So much information on how to beat the opponent’s defences from the back. Made a huge difference in my approach
easy to follow! I was able to apply some of the techniques quickly
Very detailed and helpful
This is the best back attack system used by the top grapplers, taught in a way that is able to be understood by even those without years of experience.
Fantastic instructional with details that go as deep as you could hope yet broken down into digestible steps.
I'm still giving this five stars, because it's incredible. But, volume five of the New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Mounted Pin Attacks instructional has a lot of updated information on their back attack system. However, the explanation of the grip fighting sequence here is much more robust. I understood and implemented that a lot better than from what I learned in the New Wave edition. You can't go wrong with this.
This video is great for a beginner or advanced individual when it comes to back attacks and defense.
Instantly Increased my finishing percentage from the back and control. Well worth the money.
This is tried and tested stuff that works and has been proven in competition. However, as an earlier example of Danaher’s work, I probably found it quite talky and conceptual, particularly the first two chapters. I would still say this is a must buy for back attackers but be prepared for a bit of fast forwarding.
Back Attacks Enter The System is a masterpiece! John Danaher's systematic approach to attacking the back is unparalleled. It's a comprehensive resource that will revolutionize your game and leave your opponents in awe. Pure brilliance!
this is THE back attack instructional
Excellent instructional!
Very comprehensive, so many useful small details. Will continue to buy Danaher’s instructionals!
All the details you would expect from the best out there.
Les instructions de John Danaher sont toujours au top. Encore un dvd dans ma collection qui me fait progresser sur les attaques du dos. Merci John pour tes instructions
great video!!
Danaher is the best BJJ coach in the world. Worth every penny.
John Danaher's way of teaching and his philosophy has allowed me to improve my bjj game tremendously. Without a doubt, I feel smarter in the game and feel like everything is starting to make sense. I am a very short person (5'2) and getting the back is my main goal and this instructional has allowed me to tap out blue and purple belts in my gym even with less than 1 year of training.
This was my first BJJ fanatics instructional and has really laid the foundation about how I approach submissions from dominant positions. I'm not a huge guy so I always had problems overcoming people's defensive hands. When I saw John's system it really made sense. Why wouldn't I try to use my legs, negate their escape options, and isolate the game where it's just my hand vs. their defensive chin. Excellent stuff, I'd pair with the mount attack and side control attack videos by him as well.
Great instructional as always. John makes the best BJJ instructional out there today
I had immediate results!
Never really loved rear mount. After this, it definitely is my fav.
Lots of details that help increase my control and submission rates.
Excellent instructional with some amazing details
The best
Professor Danaher does a great job explaining why the back position is king, and what to do when your opponent has iron-clad defense. not only do you learn back attacks, but also leg attacks making this video a must have!

It was an excellent fundamental review of how to maintain, get to, and finish from the back. He is incredibly thorough and knowledgeable.
great
Practical and well laid out
Very detailed and comprehensive
Was able to apply these instructions immediately in live training!
This instructional has the clearest sense of direction on what to do when attacking someone from the back. John breaks down how to approach finishing, especially with strangles, in the most systematic way possible, which is very easy for someone like me who over analyzes things to understand. If someone is looking for a rock solid submission game, start here.
The best information I have found on the subject from possibly the best coach in the world.
John has an amazing way of teaching, he makes complicated movements easy to understand.
Really feels like you learn how to operate on a different level after this.
This instructional lays out a fantastic foundation for controlling and submitting from the back. The instruction was clear and concise as always, it always amazing to see how Danaher is able to take such complex subjects and break them down to simple concepts.
Great resource amazing progress rate it. 10
This series demystified the back mount for me. I knew plenty of entries and how to prevent escapes, but I struggled to get finishes and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. This series taught me the metagame of the back mount, how to maintain control, how to eliminate an opponent’s defenses, and then how to put someone asleep. I pick up lots of good details or new approaches, but I added this series to my game and it quickly improved my back mount.
Everyone needs to watch
Besides being a few years old it is stll a great reference book for everything regarding Back Control and the first instructional to introduce the straight jacket system
Danaher is second to none with his incredibly comprehensive and well laid out instructionals.
This instructional should be the foundation of anyone learning to attack the back. No other back instructional covers a highly effective game that pretty much fits all body types.
Doesn't get more comprehensive than this. Absolutely outstanding stuff. This has helped my back attack game by so much.
