Great information. Only wish I
Great information. Only wish I could get it on a dvd as my internet is very slow and it takes so long to watch online.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Very good. Well get Enter the System when I’m done with this series.
Watching this for an hour every day instead of my usual reading. Compliments my rolling very well. Currently a white belt. JD explains the reasons for everything very well, providing great context. I’ve become much less frenetic and more controlled and deliberate with my sparring.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:If you need to know the 'why' of every single nuance, this is the series.
I winced a bit at the full package price, decided 'hey..it's fathers day and the wife left me unsupervised with a credit card..why not'. Then I watched 'just' "Passing the Guard" video. 30 minutes in and Danaher hadn't even opened the guard yet...every nuance of the grips, the positioning, the standing, and most importantly the 'whys' are answered (and most professors hate the constant stream of 'whys' since if everyone in class did that, nothing would be learned or drilled). Worth every penny at full price. Thinking Christmas will be 'Enter the System' :-D .
Response from BJJ Fanatics:wink::hugging:Great Instructional Videos!
I have been training off and on for 10+ years without fully committing due to life and career in the way. This year a friend helped me get back into it. I found I was always frustrated by not knowing little bits of detail to try and progress my training. After a rib injury I purchased the bundle, go further faster; I started watching 'Passing The Guard' series and added to my study by writing training notes in a notebook. Each training session I would attend and pick one skill of passing to practice. My results after 4 weeks of training with just this small portion of the instructional is amazing. I have honed my skill focusing on only 7 passing techniques, from double under, over under, knee cut, smash pass etc . John Danaher reemphasizes having your opponents feet and knees pointing away from you and also controlling the hips prior to moving up to head control. These 2 small tips have greatly improved my game and I am now starting to pass higher belts with seemingly ease. Very happy with the videos so far and look forward to the next series to study!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:love it
Danaher's instructionals are not only better than anyone elses, but the amount of instruction time in each is incredible. Most of his instructionals are 8+ hours total, covering any question you might have.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Highly recommend!
Amazing series of content. Professor Danaher delves into great depth to convey the importance of understand the mechanics and philosophy behind the movements, rather than simple demonstrations. As someone new to bjj the amount of detail in this series is unbelievable and a great resource for contextualising what I’m learning at training
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:the one and only
I trained bjj for 2 years before moving and finding a tough judo club. We spend half the class doing newaza, which I love. Judo is explosive but mainly focuses on the top game. A pin for 20 seconds is a win, so you see people going to turtle often and stalling. Danaher's instructionals cover turtle, and every position is covered in such detail I find myself hitting sweeps and subs in rolling without practicing them because of the extreme detail. It's not just demonstrating like other instructionals, he shows how NOT to do it as well. He gives plan b, c, d and so on for every scenario. Bjjfanatics is awesome too. I went in thinking I'd get one bundle, at check out between discounts points and everything else offered I was able to get 3 more Danaher instructionals for the same price that I thought would just cover the original bundle!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Go further faster
From what I've seen so far this bundle was great value. A bit repetitive at times, which I can appreciate is due to trying to hammer in the points, but owise great at keeping focus on the most important aspects of the sport.

Brilliant Investment
Having access to all of this world class knowledge to watch whenever you want at your own pace is simply brilliant. Great way to study off the matts and increase your understanding of techniques and concepts. This is a reference tool I will use throughout my bjj journey. I will be watching these videos for years :joy:
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Intelligent, analytical, didactic and inspirational
Intelligent, analytical, didactic and inspirational approach. I love John Danaher’s material, and these series are dedicated to the very foundations of Jiu Jitsu, so they are a must.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Danaher, the zen master.
Lol, I meant really helped as I transition TO learning gi FROM nogi. My last review didn’t make sense. (And yes, unlike most people I started in nogi, that is not a typo)
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Really helping as I transition
Really helping as I transition from learning gi from nogi.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great series
Great series
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:The Real Deal
I have bought and watched all of the videos in this series separately. This series is unique because John Danaher goes over all the techniques or the meta game of Jiu Jitsu, particularly fundamental techniques that work frequently in all weight classes, at world championship black belt competition. If you are new in jiu jitsu, you probably will watch IBJJF matches and not understand whats going on. After watching this series you will absolutely understand most everything going on except for berimbolo, crab ride, and lapel techniques and exchanges. Basically this series will make you literate in modern competition Jiu Jitsu. If you are series about BJJ this is an amazing value on sale.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:sunglasses::hugging:A masterclass in the fundamentals
As someone just starting their BJJ training this is definitely helping me go further faster. While it's not layed out in a very intuitive way (or at all?) it definitely serves as a good set of reference material that covers pretty much anything I have a question about. I've found that as I learn one thing from it and then put that into practice that leads me to ask new questions about something related to what I've been practicing and there's usually a video about it to be found somewhere in this course, so I'll go study up on that and rinse repeat. There isn't really a linear path to follow so to speak. Danaher definitely repeats himself a lot but it does a good job of getting it into your skull and he's excellent at providing little soundbites of wisdom that help you remember what the principles are. Sometimes he might spend 30 minutes on something other people spend 5 minutes on, but I tend to walk away with a deeper understanding of what's actually going on and more importantly WHY, and not just "here's a move, you do it like this". He usually gives 3 ~ 4 examples of each move and often from different angles. He makes it all look very easy and you think "oh, yup, so you just do that and then that and then that and that's the move cool... I think I got it" then you give it a try and you realize his 25+ years on the mats make him an old pro at it, and it's definitely not quite as easy as he makes it look. Some stuff I just haven't been able to get yet, but in those cases I've just opted to move on and revisit it later. There are on the order of 64 videos in the whole series, each usually between 60 and 90 minutes. The sheer amount of content is at times overwhelming. On the plus side it'll keep you going for months if not years. Each video I watch I feel an important piece of the puzzle click into place, and It's definitely helping me understand what I should be doing in any given position.
Response from BJJ FanaticsYep, there are a lot of knowledge on those videos! But keep studying, it will all click eventually. :hugging:thank you
5 stars I drink coffee and listen to this brilliant man.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Fills in lots of gaps
I personally enjoy professor danahers style of teaching and kind of dry humor. I purchased everything he has on the fanatics site during the black friday sale. I have watched the guard passing and leglock courses so far. He repeats pretty much everything and hammers the core concepts home at the end of each segment. It is a good blend of technique and concepts. Sometimes i have questions that will get answered later in the segment. Nice guide to have during covid lockdown. Looking forward to watching more of the systems.
