Good Stuff
This has definitely helped me retain my guard including helping me discover new ways to lock up a closed guard in transition.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Some of the best technique
Some of the best technique and overall concept based teaching of guard retention I have seen yet.

Danaher’a video instruction is simply the best. The moves are explained in great detail and he provides the context needed to understand and use the concepts he teaches. At some point, I’ll own the full collection of “go further, faster.”

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Soon enough, idols become rivals.
I shouldn’t have waited so long. I was worried this would be “cook book Jiu Jitsu”. Boy was I wrong. Instead of putting forth a “this move = that move” video, John presents concepts which will prevent the passage of your guard and put you on the offense. He uses physical index points on your body to guide your guard defense techniques with options to quickly negate the pass and begin a sting offense. You will feel like he is speaking directly to you. All manner of passes, grips (!) and escapes to an offensive guard are taught. are taught. His relaxing, conversational tone compliments this most complete video. You will not fear going to guard anymore. Get it now.

Even though I'm a brown belt I knew my ability to retain guard needed to improve. I'm not through with the video, yet, but so far I understand the basic concepts and movements. The breakdown and explanations for retaining guard are wonderful, and match my learning style!

Very well explained. Retaining guard is not an easy thing to do, but Danaher's explanation makes it so easy to absorb and replicate in real life sparring.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Truly Outstanding Course
Mr. John Danaher goes into exceptional detail on how to massively improve guard retention. Being a new white belt, this has dramatically improved my guard abilities and allowed me to study and get reps in at home during this coronavirus epidemic. Thank you!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Priceless
I utilize these skills every time I roll. The techniques are very simple and easy to remember. Chip away a little at a time :call_me_hand:I'm grateful.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Retain Your Gains
I started studying this right before my gym closed due to COVID-19. I noticed immediate progress. Since then, I paired this with his solo drills program to keep the mind sharp to dominate once back on the mats. Until then...doing solo drills on my rug.
