I've been working Kimuras into my game and this instructional has helped me quite a bit with my success at finishing them. I've even started using some variations that I didn't know existed at the time until watching this. I would recommend this to anyone.
Super in-depth instructional.
This is a comprehensive and detailed instructional that provided me with tools to keep progressing towards the Kimura that have gotten me stuck in the past.
Another video that did wonders for my game.
Fantastic instructional. Kimuras are now easier to find and more efficient to finish.
Great instructional for attacking Kimura's from everywhere. Really helped me finish and spot opportunities to catch the Kimura from loads of positions.
good
I didn't have any idea on how and what to do to learn until I found BJJFANATICS thank you.... Cali Truck Driver 👊�
great!
Extremely pedagogic, a goldmine of knowledge and details.
good stuff
Great instructional. Danaher is a great communicator of instruction and information. I'm able to immediately apply concepts in his videos in sparring, .
Love this instructional and how much detail john gives more than any other instructor
This was the first Danaher video I watched. The amount of detail that is given to really break down each position is incredible
Mar
my favorite Danaher instructional so far. was looking for a way to slow my opponent down...very effective so far
Great detail and unsurpasssed cascading the detail for retention. In my opinion one of the best in the WORLD!!!!
the "enter the system" series is a critical learning tool for any level BJJ practicioner. each video entry adds a layered systematic approach to the most high percentage submissions in BJJ. In each segment John typically gives a general overview to each submission system, breaks down mechanics of each hold in detail, then guides the viewer through entries into each submission from every possible situation from standing to ground. all systems flow into each other. for the past 5 years I have been returning to each video set and absorbing new details.
ETS - Kimura has changed my game. It's opened my eyes to so many opportunities for submissions I'd missed previously. Necessary content here!
Excellent and detailed instuction,
You think you know what a kimura is and then Danaher takes it to the next level.
Outstanding System!
If you are struggling with Kimura,I strongly recommend to watch this instructional video. it's so rare to be able to learn so much about this technique!
Breaks everything down to a mechanical efficiency level, uses the kimura both a control mechanism and a finishing one.
comprehensive skill for kimura.
The Kimura system was the first video series I purchased that John taught. I have become addicted to how he teaches, first, to the general principles of a system. Then he moves into the fine details of each technique that makes up the system. His content has x5 my progression.
Kimura details that cannot be missed. I gave up on kimuras for a while after hitting a low point and not finding them helpful — this instructional revitalized them for me.
From Enter The System, this would be my second recommendation after Back Attacks. Kimura has always been one of my favorite submissions but my effectiveness with it has greatly enhanced thanks to Danaher. Using kimura grip for control and transition and leg assisting variations were enlightening concepts and nowadays I use cross and T-kimuras regularly. Very versatile and comprehensive.
Incredible instructional! This is a game changer for controlling your opponent.
Build off the basic concept of the kimura and catch them everywhere!
I got this because the cross kimora is one of my best moves and I wanted to tap into the potential of kimoras. There are tons of other kimoras and applications I didn’t know about and have really opened things up now that I know how to actually do the move. Really learned the ins and outs of the kimora lock and glad I picked it up.
The Kimura is the most overpowered and under utilized submission in Jiujitsu. No one better to learn it from than right here.
Everything M. Danaher does is methodical, well thought out. Systematically dismantling techniques so that if you study enough and apply all the details you are set!
I had never appreciated the Kimura as much as I should have. This changed that completely and it's now one of my go to control positions. I also thought the T kimura looked impractical at first. How wrong I was, so useful and simple to start using.
Lots of new details
Before watching this I never got Kimuras. I bought this because of a good sale, not because of any real interest in the material. The entire first DVD is devoted just to one move: the side Kimura, which you probably already know. Danaher is very long winded, but he really goes into the details. Suddenly I started getting the side Kimura to work. Then I started getting Kimura's from positions I never got them before because I understood the mechanics. Now I get a Kimura a few times a night. Much of the material I still do not use, but much of what is presented here is foundational to what I now do. This was completely unexpected and has not happened with all of Danaher's DVDs, but this one really changed my game.
This instructional singlehandedly changed my game shortly after I got my blue belt. The kimura went from something I barely understood from closed guard to something I will use to transition to several positions and finish in several ways. Totally blew open my knowledge of the capabilities of the kimura.
Always thought the kimura was a strong man move, therefore frowned upon due to the strength and crank that comes with it. After watching this, I learned how to use kimura as a method of control, and key details to finishing without using strength. Excellent instructional! Will revisit soon.
Everything you always wanted to know about Kimura
This kimura singlehandedly changed my game entirely. I never understood the kimura effectively but after diving into this DVD I started finding myself locking up the kimura grip and seeing where it took me. I have much better luck finishing kimuras and I often find myself sweeping my opponent or taking their back and finishing in the rear triangle position if I do not finish the kimura. Excellent in depth instruction that Danaher is known for.
An outstanding instructional! Danaher goes over so many significant details (that you would not have thought of) which make a tremendous difference for applying and outcome of the kimura! Well done video! This is something that I will be watching again and again.
Everything Danaher puts out is amazing.
Again, Danaher has surpassed himself. Excellent video for that can lock the position down but can't finish the sub. The details in this video will incarcerate your opponent, making it much easier for you to finish him/her. Great video!
Excellent content - well worth the cost
After drilling a few of the Kimura variations, I started getting really positive feedback from black belts at my academy after sparring.
Concise and easy to implement techniques and principles.
This instructional changed my view of the Kimura from a big guy move into it being one of my highest percentage attacks from nearly any position. Highly recommended
We are very lucky to be living in the same era as John Danaher. Truly the GOAT
We are very lucky to be living in the same era as JD. Exceptional instructional.
Great content, Danaher is masterful at breaking down concepts and explaining the how and why it works in a clear and concise manner without skimping on any details.
