Top notch curriculum on standing position for BJJ. As always, Danaher offers a thorough and complete course. Volume 3 covers guard pulls, guard pull counters, submissions from standing position, takedown defense, mat returns, and higher risk takedowns. 10/10 recommend this product to any BJJ student. I think buying all 3 volumes of Feet to Floor is the way to go - you'll get a very complete and dangerous game for standing position.
Feet to Floor is a comprehensive review of all standing position skills, and it is very good instruction. Volume 2 is specifically aimed at the best throws for BJJ. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to take the standing position seriously.
Incredibly insightful, helpful, and detailed.
This bundle really enhanced my game, instead of aimlessly addressing my stand up until ending up on the ground.
👍
John Danaher provides a master class on the standing position, there's also some great information for personal defense.
Good details on off balancing
Danahaer as usual covers a lot of material but it's totally worth it to study this instructional you will be able to actually have a standing game.
This curriculum is fantastic. I grew up wrestling and while there are many parallels for takedowns, that blasted gi changes things quite a bit. Danaher not only provides you moves to hit but a method to execute them. That’s why this is the best curriculum you can buy.
So much detail it’s easy to get lost however each time you come back to the video you pick up on something new
My stand up game improved tremendously from where it was. This instructional is very detailed and broken down very well. It’s easy to understand and implement.
great details
I used to be anxious and worried when standing. Now after this course I love standing up.
Great instructional by John Danaher as usual, he goes deep into take downs for BJJ and there's some good stuff on personal defense too.
Nice
Danaher covers a lot of ground on take downs for BJJ and there is also a good section about self defense take downs.
John Danaher is the best BJJ instructor and he does a great job here.
One of the best instructionals I have see. Danaher covers everything you need to know to be effective in the standing position, he also gives you a very good self defense course here.
professor Danaher as with all his other instructionals takes a step by step approach in clearly and concisely giving a roadmap for success. many instructional videos just throw you in the deep end of a technique without explaining the principles and skills required to be successful with them.
very in depth and well explained
the bible of gi takedown tactics for bjj
JOHN DANAHER PROVIDES A VERY COMPLETE SYSTEM FOR THE STANDING POSITION IN JIU JITSU OR JUDO
There is truly a ton to learn from this, at least if you are still new to BJJ as I am. It will probably take me a few years to get through it. I found the intro section on stances (ai-yotsu and kenka-yotsu) super helpful as some people don’t address this. Overall a lot to learn but definitely glad I bought it.
This is essentially a compendium of the most high percentage take downs, guard pulls, and defensive tactics useful in gi jiu jitsu rule sets. You could watch the whole thing or find the material most suitable to your standing game; either way, the details are amazing and sure to help you improve.
Much needed
Studying these videos has allowed me to compete with sparring partners who are much better and much more experienced than me at bjj standup. My stand up game now has a focus and a plan. I have only covered 30% of the material but plan to cover it all throughout the next year. John Danaher explains things so clearly.
I haven't finished the course just yet, but with the few hours I've spent studying this has made noticeable improvement in my takedown game.
fantastic he really can deepen your understanding of a subject really quickly.
excellent "judo for BJJ" course from the best. Grips, footwork, kuzushi, take downs, it's all there. highly recommended
In depth look at how to score points in the standup position for JiuJitsu. presented in a manner which students will build a foundation and understanding of the concepts.
Volume 1 is a comprehensive curriculum to basic te Waza takedowns. 10/10 would recommend anyone buy the complete set for basic te waza, Ashi waza, johns 3 favorite takedowns for BJJ, and guard pulls/counters.
Professor Danaher thank you for detailed instruction and multiple angles video. Great technique which requires practical application. It’s been pleasure spending time learning this amazing skills. Thank you.
I'm a big fan of Danaher and his courses. There are gold mines of information in these videos. That said, it's a lot of material and most of us will be overwhelmed by it. Unless you're a professional fighter with tons of time to look at all this, I'd just pick out the best moves and come back every now and again to troubleshoot. If you want the definitive list of throws and take downs this is your ideal source.
Amazing
good
the only person i trust when buying an instructional
I really appreciate the approach taken in this video. I bought this video when I first started and it has guided me over various problems over the 2 1/2 years I've been practicing BJJ. It is a very deep video series that gives you a full overview of stand up and also guard pulling. Small details such as grips and off balancing are discussed and good takedown to start with so you don't spend a lot of time lost or with ineffective techniques that don't mesh together. Take a chance in this one and get a great BJJ focused approach that will guide you for years to come.
Amazing as always
Love this systematic bundle! It significantly improves my understanding of the stand up game.
If you are looking to rapidly improve your stand-up game in Gi, this is the most complete and comprehensive video set there is.
A Great instructional.
As always - here is no room for failure! The mastermind at his finest! The level of detail is unmatched in instructional vids.
At my academy I am one of the few who always asks to start standing. This course is why I love stand up and others dislike standing against me.
awesome
Phenomenal
In these videos JD provides us with an immediate game for takedowns, easy to execute moves for starters. Then gets into the fancy stuff later. My favorite teacher of them all!
great
This serious has taking my confidence with the stand up game to new levels. I really enjoy stand up now and before it was something I avoided or felt helpless.
Danaher’s instruction is clear and thorough. Watching this series will help you understand, not just what to do, but why to do it. He takes a huge number of take downs and provides you with what works best for our support, and explains it in a way that allows you to apply your knowledge quickly.
Only half way through the first instructional and have learned so much. Typical DDS stuff, breaks it down into a system that gives you clear direction in the standup Gi game
