This is the cheat code to attacking just like Gordon Ryan! Great detailed instructions that anyone can follow and get immediate results .
I seem to only buy videos from John Danaher. He just plain knows how to teach.
Most comprehensive back attack tutorial I have yet seen
I used to struggle with back control, now it one of my favorite finishing positions
Danaher shows just why and how he is the greatest jiu-jitsu coach of our time (all time?) in this and every instructional. If you want to know every nuance to attack the back, maintain control, and learn his straight-jacket system, do yourself a favor and purchase this instructional.
I haven't seen such a well thought out system of attacking the back. Danaher's straight jacket system is the only way to go!
This has been a great addition to my game. I had an initial understanding of some of these concepts but this instructional really goes deep!
Looking to tighten up your back control and finishes? Look no further than this work of art, brought to you by the maestro himself John Danaher.
Amazing stuff on here
Danaher always brings so much info to his instructional and the quality of his coaching is world class
Mr. Danaher's Back Attack series is a must-have for anyone blue belt and above. For years, I had been told to fall to the choking arm side while on someone's back. Not only does Mr. Danaher show that the underhook side is effective, but he also goes into incredible detail to demonstrate how you can control your opponent and methodically work towards submissions. Bravo!
Danaher is amazing. His techniques are great and this instructional is one of my absolute favorites of his!!!
Regarded as the best position for grappling, I want to capitalize it with submissions rather than stall for points. Just what I needed. Thanks Professor Danaher!
Instantly upgraded my back control!
Very detailed instructional. Packed with an abundance of information that will certainly improve anyone's game.
Really happy with the success rate I've been having thanks to this instructional. As everyone knows John Danaher is an absolute wizard...nobody covers as many small details that make such a big impact.
Worth every penny. Don’t wait til later in your bjj career to get this
This instructional was phenomenally detailed and does an incredible job of illustrating general principles that one can apply to the exact move shown and other back attacks already in your game. I will be rewatching this for a while...
John reveals secrets in this that your average instructor won’t. I’ve been studying it for a year and meet black belts that don’t know this knowledge.
Attacking form the back made so much more sense after this. I put the techniques in to practice straight away.
very interesting, go from basics to advanced very fluidly
I good at taking the back, but had some trouble maintaining it. This video helped me tremendously and gave me a mechanical understanding I wish I'd had sooner.
So much content
Poor Placido! Great instructional as always!
I always knew that taking the back was such a great position but maintaining it was always the hard part. This amazing instructional from the great John Danaher has had me becoming a full time nuisance to all my training partners and getting more taps than a blind man’s cane. I can’t rate this highly enough, all the key details that John provides have led to a wealth of knowledge that I wouldn’t have found on my own. Do not look at the price and think I can’t afford that, what you can’t afford, is to miss out on the knowledge provided by one of the greatest martial arts minds ever. Purchase,study,implement…..STRANGLE!
If you train Jiu Jitsu, you know how important it is to be proficient at back attack. If you love Jiu Jitsu, you know that Danaher is likely the best bjj teacher ever. 2+2...
Truly an amazing product. You will learn all the essential back attacks, back takes, and back attack styles.
Awesome content and so much detail. My subs went up the next day after watching.
Fantastic! It has tremendously improved my way of thinking. John explain everything with such details, that is impossible not to follow. 100% recommend it
Truly amazing Teacher. I start buying this one, but I can confess that I’m addicted to the content and how John explain everything with such details. I can just recommend it over and over again. Everything is well structured and easy to follow. Thanks John for sharing your experience. I hope one day be in one of your trainings. Cheers!
Great instructional. The tips on getting into and finishing the choke made a huge difference for me
Fantastic breakdown. It has tremendously improved my submission rate.
This vid changed my game pretty much overnight and started my path of being a back specialist. JD clears the mist and make everything understood and within context
JD's got your back!
Gives a really great system to follow when you have back control
this reviews been a long time coming. i studied this video in the middle of covid on a grappling *****. it's been the foundation of my backattacks and have helped me to understand the fundamentals necessary to be a threat from the back.
Improved my back take just by spending some time on a few select things. Amazing.
This is a great foundational instructional if you are looking to start your back attack journey.
I've been practicing this since it came out. I thought I was decent at taking the back and finishing.....this changed the whole way I play. Hand fighting, rotational finish, head trap, underhook side, overhook side, diagonal control - so many great concepts ! John Danaher is the gold standard.
Good for those who want to understand theoretically.
Great details must buy for any bjj player .
One of the most useful instructional I’ve purchased.
Very detailed for any level, highly recommend
very detailed
I'm a 2 stripe white belt who has been training a year, and before studying this instructional I struggled to maintain the back on even brand new white belts, nevermind finishing from the back. Since then I have had loads of success with the straight jacket system, trapping arms and finishing RNS. I even managed to tap a blue belt a few weeks ago! Furthermore I finished with a RNS in a recent local comp and I could hear Danaher whispering sweet sweet strangling mechanics in my ear as I finished. Incredible instructional and highly recommended, however be prepared to watch 1.5x speed.
I have watched this series multiple times and still find golden nuggets of wisdom for something I thought I understood well.
First video has been great so far! I get caught in a lot of head and neck moves that leave me sore for days so I’m excited to understand this better.
So many details I have never been taught. Kimuras are great for controlling your opponent and lead to so many other attacks.
Incredible! The content in this video series could last you your entire BJJ career!
I have short muscular legs and the details he shares make triangles feel possible for me!
