A must see!
Fundamentals receive this name for a good reason. And this is Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals at it’s best! Very useful, indeed.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great instruction
Worth every penny really awesome :ok_hand: his whole system is amazing, well formulated very organized content , very satisfied with my purchase thanks a million Sensei Danaher🙏�
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Much better than I expected.
I have purchased a few videos in the past from other instructors but this has been the best purchase I have made. I will tell you without any hesitation that this is well worth the money. I really can't believe the depth and detail of the instruction. I was expecting the typical YouTube type video and was apprehensive about spending the money but I was wrong. The quality of this video far surpassed my expectations and I will buy more from John in the future! Truly fantastic!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excellent technique.
Excellent technique.
Response from BJJ Fanatics😎🤙🏼John Danaher - closed guard
Excellent overview of closed guard with some exceptional details.
PURE GOLD
What I learned from watching JUST the first module has helped me increase my number of attacks significantly! Honestly, my closed guard attacks ****. And breaking posture has always been a real pain in the butt. True story: I watched the lesson on the 6 vulnerabilities and then went for a roll...I focused on using 2 of the vulnerabilities and during training and I found myself catching a couple of submissions, but what I liked most was that I made a quick and significant improvement in getting myself into position for more opportunities to finish. Since, my guard play has been nothing to write home about, I've always been content to work my way into side control ( my strength) even if that meant wasting a bunch of energy on escaping the bottom of side control after my guard was passed. So BONUS: I didn't feel tired because I was able to do a much better job of controlling the position and keeping the pressure on them. Anyway, if you struggle with wondering "what do I do from here?," or you're frustrated because your closed guard attacks only work on white belts who've just wandered onto the mat after their introduction class, then you need to buy this course. Personally, I've been in a state of raw joy since purchasing Closed Guard.
Save up for it
The first two hours was kind of a let down and was super repetitive, the last 15min summed it all up. It was my first Danaher purchase and I wasn't sure if it was worth saving up for. These videos are an investment. The next volumes were so packed with info and organized! Definitely worth the investment for anyone new to the game. It's the cost of a months worth of mat time for a lifetime of foundation.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome stuff that works!!!
This stuff is amazing! Detailed clear effective breakdown of techniques. Highly recommend this!

This instructional provides great details and better understanding of how and why the moves work.
Response from BJJ Fanatics😉Love it!
Coach Danaher does an amazing job of explaining all the aspects of close guard so that you can understand it inside and out. He goes into so much detail, I'm going through the videos a second time and taking notes so that I don't miss anything. The video really helps clarify things.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great!
Great!

Danaher shows the essentials that you must have in a guard game. He goes beyond technique and discuss what you need to be able to do, so your techniques work. A great help for any practitioner.

Amazing!!!! Learned and continuing to learn so much!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Incredible value
I used to have to pay over 200$ an hour for this kind of instruction in privates. For closed guard you’re not going to get any better.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻It’s like having a private
It’s like having a private lesson whenever you press play! Professor’s detail and explanation makes it very easy to follow and implement right away. I’m able to pass along many of his techniques and theories to my students. He is truly an amazing martial artist and teacher.

Getting back to basics and enjoying every minute of it. I love the way Danaher teaches and the amount of details he give. Even when I forget the moves the concepts tend to stick. Looking forward to getting more.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great stuff!
It’s amazing the knowledge one can attain if he searches for it. Just bought The Danaher Closed guard fundamentals, it’s amazing! It’s ***** and bulletproof Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, very structured, organized and well framed way of teaching. Loving the information!
Crazy Details
Im a whitebelt who always get stuck in closed guard not knowing what to do or how to attack properly. Danaher explained thoroughly the details that sometimes i tend to forget. Truly, Danaher is the best coach out there. His small details end up in big rewards! Great vid!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻John Danaher's Closed Guard DVD
This is a well thought out DVD for a fundamental program. The explanations are very clear and precise. The study of this dvd will provide you with jewels that will last your entire jiujitsu career/experience. Well done. Very well done.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻I am so happy to see that this video is finally out.
I wanted to see his teachings on closed guard, as I thought that any learning of Jiujitsu should start from closed guard. As I am watching through the series, I feel that my thought is not only fully justified, but also Danaher went far beyond my expectations as always is the case. I am so happy to know this man and his teachings.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Danaher Fundamentals
Good back to basics series.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Solid
Well structured, and methodically explained. Everything seen works.
Response from BJJ Fanatics👍🏼😉Hello
I bought this using Amazon. Haven’t received anything from anyone. Was charged. Reached out, and nobody responds to anything. But man, sure am getting spammed can someone respond?

John is one of the best instructors in the game. His extensive knowledge, practical application and explanations is the key to learning why we do what we do Highly recommend for all levels.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Near perfect
Danaher is , as always pretty much top notch. Mind blowing and highly applicable detail. Only thing I have missed is more attention to NoGi variation grips. When I purchase a Danaher closed guard DVD I would like to know that I got everything covered. Including the NoGi grip variation, especially with core techniques. Beside that, its pretty much a no brainer if you really care about your Jiujitsu knowledge and progress.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻I feel the attention to
I feel the attention to detail of Danaher's skill. Closed guard is a technology that represents Jiu-jitsu. Very good teaching material.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Another classic video
John Danaher has created another fantastic edition to his further, faster series. Although I have been training for over 11 years, I’m picking up crucial details from this video. Five stars and two thumbs up for this dvd.
