Great for "older" practitioners
I'm over 50, so half guard passing is my go to, and John Danaher presents a clear system to accomplish this
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Excellent Introduction to Half Guard Passing and Pinning!
I found a helluva lot of value from this instructional series. I find that I can now consistently force half guard top and know what moves I need to do to pass from there. It has helped me as a jiujitsu practitioner as it also informs how I ought to play half guard bottom.
Half Guard Mastery
No matter what belt, these concepts hold throughout your Jiu Jitzu career. Without them you have holes that will never be filled.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great instrucional!
Not only does John provide great detail on his algorithmic approach but he also gives you a set of objectives so that you always know where and why you are working towards something. A well organized and structured instructional.

This is an incredible video in typical John Danaher style. He is extremely articulate and thorough in explaining all the intricate details of his system. His knowledge is in the upper echelons, and he is a tremendous teacher.

My Favourite instructional ever
The system he presents is simple enough to remeber and the moves themselves are easy to execute. Mastering this style of passing will take years but the blueprint of how to effectivly use half guard passing is all here. Essential viewing and the best from the GFF series IMO
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Fantastic half guard fundamental video
This is one I go back to all the time for the fundamentals of half guard passing. These guys with Danaher do it better than anyone and it's great to learn from them.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Various passing system
World best instructor’s class about gaurd pass.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:top tier
Wish I had this instructional as a white belt, highly recommended also to the coloured belts. Danaher teaching stye is one of a kind. It is not entertaining, but his understanding of the body dynamics and details he point out are astonishing and keep you engaged..
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Learn how to pass half guards
Detailed but simple ways to pass most half guards the best way. If you learn any passing style half guard is almost certainly the best overall, so get good at it by knowing exactly what to do. You’ll keep coming back to watch as a reference. The concept of dynamic pinning was also eye opening.
Game Changer
This is one of my favourite instructionals. The pinning element helped improve my top game immediately and half guard passing is now my go to method of passing the guard. Brilliant product and can't recommend it enough.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:John Danaher Dynamic Pins

Definitely has given me vital skills to control the top position. Also has given me a better understanding from working from bottom
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Awesome video!
Awesome video!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Best instructional I have watched
Watching this instructional was hands down the best thing I ever did for immediately improving my bjj game (both in and out of the gi) - both from the perspective of being able to much more easily pass guard, and being able to get into a stable mount on opponents, even much stronger than me.
