The best instructor by far on BJJ Fanatics. I usually increase the speed of the video to 1.5X. When I see something important, I slow it down and focus on the details. Great video, strongly suggest

Great detail like always from John’s instructionals
Like every other Danaher course that I've dived into, this course is excellent. It is very long, but thorough and gives immediately actionable things I can use to improve my game. I intend on watching it many more times and sharpening my closed guard sword as sharply as possible. Thanks, BJJ Fanatics and John!

This is an older instructional but still has a lot of gems in it
Excelente
Really enjoyed this one and it has already improved my guard game. Many people on the gym started telling me how good my closed guard was after employing some of these moves
Again a very useful class from Danaher and one you'll use every time you roll
very helpful and detailed analysis
This is not just an instructional, it's a completely new way of looking at this very basic and versatile position. I will always use this course as a backbone for my entire closed guard game and the best thing about this particular course is: it's suitable for all levels!
This is not just a course with a couple of techniques compiled together, this offers a completely new understanding to this very basic and versatile position. I will forever use this course as a backbone for my entire closed guard game and the best thing about this course in particular is: it's very applicable for all levels!
Mr Danaher teaches the position in depth exploring the tactical/positional advantages it offers rather than just demonstrating a standard set of sweeps/submissions of questionable application as it is often taught at Bjj schools.
perfect overview with repetition to memorize the concepts
