Excellent instructions sur la garde fermée
Very articulate and comprehensive.
This instructional really opened my eyes to a position that is overlooked but such a foundational part of jiu-jitsu. I originally got it for my kids, but I ended up watching it myself. Lots of gems caked into this one.
Mr. Danaher breaks down fundamental concepts so that beginners through veterans can benefit.
John Danaher produces the best instructiona videos and this one is the best I have seen from Professor Danaher, he covers the closed guard from every possible angle. This one wiil keep me busy for a while.
Extremely clear and conceptual. John Danaher is probably the best jiu jitsu teacher.
This instructional is filled with the fundamentals of this position. I've been working this material for a few years and it still is important to drill constantly.

Danaher does it again, all you need to know about the close guard
This is incredibly helpful as a reference for training the closed guard. There are so many things to work on, that this will last you a very long time.

Exactly what I was looking for: systematic intro to closed guard
Another masterful work by Professor John. Great fundamentals about the Closed Guard.
jiu Jitsu
A lot of great details!
step by step concepts bring you to controlled submissions
Great content, especially the details regarding the entries to the side scissor position and the submissions that are available from that position.
Amazing amounts of top netch coaching on one of the most basic, yet important positions in BJJ
Super thorough!
I bought this as a white belt and really liked how John Danaher explains the basics and the subtle details. I made a really big difference in my closed guard game as a white belt and I know I'll continue to use it and review it in the future. Thanks to this, I was really able to become a more challenging partner in closed guard and was complimented on this by a few higher belts. I really could feel the difference.
Great video from John, as usual
Excellent, easy to understand small details. Videos are so useful when working away with limited training partners!

closed guard
AMAZING!
Really good breakdown of working from the closed guard
This guide provides clear and detailed explanations of key techniques, making it suitable for practitioners of all levels. Its step-by-step approach and demonstrations make complex concepts easy to understand. Overall, it’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their skills.
This is complete curriculum on closed guard that is based on the fundamentals and will make anyone deadly effective in closed guard. If this was the only closed guard instructional you ever buy, you will be extremely dangerous with the closed guard position.
like all other videos in this series Prof Danaher fundamentally changed how I understand and approach closed guard. he provides an amazing overview of the objectives of the position and a framework to improve. highly recommend this video
Amazing Instruction. Worth every penny.
I can see what my Professor is trying to teach us, its hard to take in during a class.
If you like Danaher- Instructionals there will be no suprises here. as always pure excellence and very good studying material. "get the ball rolling" and get his elbow past your centerline...i mean by this instructional and drill 🤗
Excellent instructional Very detailed Material that can be incorporated into anyones game, beginner to advanced belts.
I am a visual person, and when John Danaher explains the technique in such detail, I can easily visualize and internalize it. I play the technique in my head a few times, and the next time I am at the gym, I try it. It takes a while to perform the technique properly, but from the first attempt, it is obvious that the technique will work. This is by far one of the best videos I have ever purchased.
Just had my second competition ever and ended up winning gold in my division thanks to this instructional. Even just watching the "side scissor" portion of this video gave me what John refers to as a "strong first move." I felt far more comfortable and dangerous with an opponent in my closed guard. I used to view closed guard as a holding/stalling position, but I got 4 submissions from my closed guard at this last tournament! Can't recommend highly enough.
