Great coverage of theory in the standing game, but I'm learning plenty that can transfer to the ground as well. I keep coming back and getting something new!
Best instructional out there for standing gi game.
Amazing content and makes so much sense. watch abit and drill a lot to have it sink into your system. Always amazing stuff coming from the best!
My gym sadly doesn't spend a whole lot of time doing takes downs in Gi. This instructional was a complete game changer for my Gi takedown game!
good stuff
Useful almost immediately
SVG (Standing vs Ground) self defense in a melee situation was amazing. Its an absolutely important information to know in a life and death situation.
Danaher feet to floor volume one
John Danaher is a genius when it comes to Tachi Waza
feet to floor
good so far...
Loved the High Single Leg section. Instant implementation. BTW... I hate clicking on the 41-50 in the next section.
amazingly helpful information
awesome stuff as always from Danaher

It's the only resource I've found anywhere that teaches standup in a systematic way (as opposed to just throwing techniques at you) to jiu jitsu students. The content might be a bit long but I felt the context was very important and relevant for developing a standup game.
As someone that needs to understand the big picture and WHY to do one thing vs another this training absolutely nails it! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
I’ve realised that over the last 18 months I literally have been doing everything wrong. Danher has broken this down for people like myself who know nothing. As a maths teacher and someone who has an analytical way of thinking, this man is an absolute genius and will really teach you to become competent with his easy to understand methods.
Probably the lesser of the 3 volumes of foot 2 floor but still good. Alot of explanation.
Danaher is one of the Best and all his videos show that
This is exactly what BJJ needs. Danaher is showing the standing game specifically for jiu-jitsu jitsu instead of trying to make wrestling or judo work inside the jiu-jitsu context
Always appreciate Danahers instructionals
Each skill set builds off previously taught curriculum. John Danaher clearly explains and reiterates the importance of each topic in way that can be applied almost immediately. I would recommend feet to floor to everyone looking to improve their stand up game!
Being a 52 jujiteiro with no judo background i have always struggled with takedowns. John Danahers offers us a complete system of takedowns adapted for jiujitsu. I have got the whole serie. For me it is the bible of the standing game.
great information
Danaher does it again. Literally the best instructor on this website. Introductory principles of takedowns demystified by the best making it accessible for all practitioners! Highly recommend.
Great video series for anyone seeking to improve their BJJ takedowns.
solid instructional
great
Perfect beginner to intermediate instructional. provides a great starting overview and skills for those who want to develop a strong stand up base
I just love all Danaher s instructional s they're so valuable
nothing beats Danaher videos
John is an excellent teacher and communicator. This volume has a great addendum section at the end about using Jiu Jitsu for self defense. That alone would have been worth the price of admission.
I greatly improved my standup with this before my first tournament. The ankle pick is my favorite now.
Super detailed instructional and very useful information.
Danaher teaches a great system so you can quickly improve your stand up game...even if you're total newbie. lots of details so you know Why the moves work
Well worth the money. Excellent primer on the fundamentals of the stand up position.
It's great, it's super detailed and comprehensive.
Standing Fundamentals
Super in depth. Who knew there was so much detail to ankle picks!
Great breakdown the clarity is amazing and it only the 1 one of the the series was
Finally have a strategy for standing. Bye bye butt scoot.
Collar Drag and Ankle Pick have been my favorite gi takedowns ever since!!
I started in a small dojo, with little room to practice take downs. We did not practice a lot. This instructional is fantastic. It starts with concept about gripping, off balancing. Then John Danaher shows mainly two easy takedowns, very accessible, and their variations. The part on self defense is very interesting too.
Fabulous instruction. Details and basic principles made very clear. Specific to BJJ takedowns for someone starting from the beginning.
I'm new to the gi, this sped up the learning process so fast for me.
This series is worth it for the first chapter alone as it really does an excellent job at conceptualizing the takedown game. A must have if you want to add a highly effective takedown game.
I have literally stopped pulling guard in my rolls since it has been so easy to take down my opponents or pull tp an advantageous guard position if my takedown attempt fails.
