Thanks Sensei Danaher. Get his videos and drill them everyday on a grappling ***** and you'll shock everyone.
We all know Danaher is quite articulate on the minutia of BJJ. This can come across as rather verbose and unnecessary at times, but I have to say that my percentage on hitting Juji has trippled on applying the small insights he talks about.
Enter the System series is amazing. Absolutely brilliant! Nobody explains these concepts quite like John Danaher 👌
Best of the best
I love John instructional
Before watching this video, I really didn’t know proper way to enter into arm bar. He explains it in a way which nobody taught me before.
John Danaher’s videos are so insightful
Really In-depth. An Almanac
John Danaher is not for everyone, but he is for people who want to get good at jiu jitsu. You will learn things about arm bars from this video that you will not learn anywhere else
Highly detailed and thorough. John is amazing
I recommend this instructional. It gives detailed explanations on entries, transitions, and other concepts that help us avoid wasting too much energy.
all the steps are broken down into sensible procedures for starting and finishing an armbar
There are many ways to get into the armbar. Using the north-south position as a transition position gets you into the armbars.
John danaher teaches step by step approach to the spinning arm bar. He uses an intermediary step of north south position to catch the shoulder girdle.
He has a system of using the legs to stay on top. Drill over the mount and try to get the arm bars on both sides. Shift your head position.

I’m only part way through, and this course is already jam packed with a ton of great detail going through the various phases and controls for the armbar, as well as the different philosophy of speed vs control based options from different positions.

You can watch all Danaher instructionals and be amazed
Best arm bar video I've seen
I hesitated since I already bought so many instructionals. But the first 20 minutes of the footage fixed my armbar from guard already - so it‘s already worth its price without even having watched it halfway. Amazing.
Really useful details.
A very good series, very well broken doen and explained.
Great information
Another gem! Great system
Wether your attacking or just want to be better at defending arms bars this will help
Just so much knowledge and wisdom in every JD instructional. He's very detailed which gives an unrivalled understanding. It's not just techniques, but underlying principles. So so good.
Great
It’s danaher so you know the detail and level of instruction is going to be excellent. It’s dense, but it makes you realise how sh*t your armbars are! Worth watching.
