He is one of the best coach in the world. I wish I bought his videos earlier.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻I was clueless with guard retention
One of my biggest frustrations as a white belt was how easily people passed my guard and pinned me so quickly. Now with this course I have a plan and have significantly upgraded my guard retention game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Danaher is so thorough! No
Danaher is so thorough! No details he does not cover. Genius instruction! Excellent!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Awesome information, really helpful!
Highly recommend this course, has helped me alot as a begginer.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻No video does it better...
With all of the criticism of educators in today's world (some for good reason)....there is a reason WHY educators are paid big $$$. Because they can TEACH. Being a world class practitioner, doesn't make you a world class instructor. Being an experienced teacher, and a high level black belt - is a lethal combination. That's what you get from John's video courses. There is no-one better at breaking down and explaining the concepts of bjj. Buy the video, watch and re-watch.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Fundamentals
Love the way John breaks everything down and covers all the details.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻John is the top instructor
I enjoy learning from John, the way he breaks down the moves and the way he puts it all into pricinples makes it easy to learn and remember
Always a student
6 months into my BJJ journey, these videos are a fantastic resource
The Hype is real
Danaher is mezmerizing, like listening to Bach. He condenses infomation into the most basic form and delivers it so clearly, really great.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Guard Retention: BJJ Fundamentals - GFF
Having a number of John Danaher instructional I am alway prepared for a college level education of the specific position/techniques. I appreciate the level of detail and full breakdown on each category. The time required for watching anything Danaher has a delayed payoff, meaning, there are instructions where you can learn a technique before class and most likely pull off something close to it, and most likely forget it because it is one technique for one possible outcome…not my experience with Danaher material. My experience with Danaher material is…you spend the time actually learning,digesting, and understanding the material, it becomes part of your long term memory which allows you to see the opponents techniques coming or possible options they have; I also make an index card of the specific areas I want to remember by writing a brief description and where I found it, and the I keep it in a box Under Heading like Guards, submissions, technique chains, etc.. Guard Retention allows you to be efficient and calm and to funnel your opponent to your preferred system…no stone is left unturned with GFF - Guard Retention.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A superb guard retention instructional.

Fantastic explanations and guard retention breakdown from the most brilliant mind jiu jitsu has to offer. This (as well as every other Danaher DVD) is a must!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Amazing
As a fairly new white belt I appreciated the thoroughness of his explanations
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent
This is the single best video I bought here so far. I improved my gaurd immensely doing every drill taught here everyday. This got me my blue belt. I keep return back to this video to gain more understanding of guard retention. Hooyah John.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻As always the way John
As always the way John explains the principles is so valuable to understanding the technique. I could start seeing improvements just through those understandings. Highly recommend. As my professor says you don’t have to worry about escaping if your guard isn’t passed.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excellent instructional
Excellent instructional. Pro-Tip listen a 1.5x speed.

John Danaher is the best teacher and explains things so clearly while putting it in a way that means you will be able to copy it. His videos complement what I learn from my coach perfectly.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻shaved months off of training
Got this shortly after getting my blue belt. Wish I had this from the beginning, it advanced me quickly.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻First experience
Incredibly detailed instruction. Feels like college courses all over again :slightly_smiling:
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Stop the Smash
Excellent instructional. Just finished the instructional and memorized and drilled many of the concepts while going through. Last night I kept a brown belt from passing my guard during multiple rolls. And I'm a white belt. Felt really good not getting smashed.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Outstanding!!! Highly recommend to anyone

This course will certainly help build a solid foundation for your guard retention. John Danaher’s attention to detail is incredibly helpful.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Must have
One of the best videos on my files! This is a knolege that all bjj fighters should have!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great in many ways
What can you write, that has not been already said by prof. Danaher instructionals. For me it not only provides fundamental knowledge how to apply filmed techniques but most importantly shows what is the reasoning behind them. I was able to get deep understanding about the game that I'm looking forward to improve.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Greatly improved my guard retention skills
The instructions were excellent and after practicing and implementing the techniques and concepts my guard retention skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Oss.
Oss.
Response from BJJ FanaticsOSSSSGreat details and clear explanations of principles
I found it very helpful to have the general principles explained before the specific techniques. It certainly makes the learning easier and allows us to adapt our game to the ever changing situation. The techniques offered range from early stage to late stage recovery. Excellent video and wish I had this earlier.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great fundamental movements breakdown
Awesome video! Really appreciate the breakdown of fundamental movements and why we do them. So often we shrimp like zombies without thinking of the trike applicability of the movement and perfect it mindfully.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructional for anyone looking
Great instructional for anyone looking to learn how to or improve on guard retention. Danaher as usual has huge detail in his teaching - covering guard retention from a concept perspective and from a technique to technique approach. Watched a few times and have found the concept understanding has help massively in training
