Danaher is the best english speaking coach I’ve come across by far. You cannot go wrong by investing in his instructionals. 100% recommend.
Bought this when it came out and now going over it again and seeing it in a whole new light, every time I see new parts and understand it a little better
Excellent instructional on one of the most famous techniques there is by one of the most technical instructors ever. The system in which John has developed is easy to understand and follow to break down different variations and paths towards finishing the fight. An excellent selection for your library.
This is an excellent video series on the kimura. As always customer service from bjj fanatics is top notch. I will definitely be bying from them again.
I've heard about the great detail of Danaher and he did not disappoint. Great for beginners to advanced.
I love this instructional because of the level of detail and repetition (as with all of danaher's videos). He explains the general theory and then goes deep into each path in detail and with repetition and multiple angles so even someone like myself with the attention span of a goldfish can still absorb it.
This series is mind-blowing. It is incredible how misunderstood and how flippantly kimuras are taught in modern BJJ. Danaher breaks down the mechanics to a point that you can immediately implement this into your game with almost minimal drilling. I can't recommend this series enough.
Danaher addresses seven different variations of the Kimura based upon their high percentage of success at a world class level. He stresses the duality of the Kimura as not only a submission but a restraining hold when and explains when and how to use either. What I found to be most useful is its ability bridge the gap between the triangle, crucifix, and back attack. If you want to end your scrambles in a winning position, I highly suggest you purchase this instructional.
This instructional changed my game more than any other. Applications in all rule sets - gi/no-gi/self-defense at all levels
Watch at 1.2 speed and take notes.
Worth every penny!
Very detailed extremely easy to understand and they work well when applied on the mat.
Danaher has got to be the best professor of all time. Amazing detail yet simple explanations. Simply fantastic.
Great instructional as usual from Mr Danaher.
Coach Danaher does an excellent job of breaking down the Kimura and how to use it in a myriad of situations. Also included are tips which woulkd be hard to get anywhere else than from Coach Danaher himself. Highly recommended to take your Kimura game to the next level.
Danaher explains the kimura system extremely well. It's given me a profound understanding of several new kimura set ups/submissions. I've finished more kimuras than ever.
I've been practising martial arts for more than 30 yrs now. Mostly judo and classic Japanese Ju Jitsu. I'm pretty new to BJJ. However I love this video. Very well structured, easy to understand. More than 8 hrs of content. First videos bring along all the principles. After that John concentrates on the application of them. There is enough material to practise for months. You'll hardly find better videos. If you take in account all the details and the amount of material the price is a bargain investition in your game.
Easy to understand and apply!
Amazingly detailed and clear instructions. Highly recommended.
Another masterpiece from Professor Danaher, the devil really is in the detail
Probably my personal favourite out of the Enter System series (have them all) and a real game changer.
I bought this instructional because I wanted a deep dive into the kimura system as I rarely used kimuras due to a lack of success in the past; and a deep dive is exactly what I got. Similar to all of Prof. Danaher's instructionals, the kimura system goes into extreme detail around entry options, maintaining control, and breaking mechanics. What I think is most impressive though, is how often kimuras become available after you become proficient in this system. Kimuras start to be found almost everywhere and they assist with control as well as submission threats. This instructional is well worth the sale price IF you are willing to put in the time and effort to learn, test and implement Prof. Danaher's kimura system.
Great breakdown. Big time game changer. Highly recommend
Great information. The difference is always in the details.
Great breakdown of a great submission. Excellent!
Solid instructional - very detail and covers lots of positions.
Just unbelievable amount of knowledge for all levels
Great course!
Improved my game and took this from my weak point to my strongest point
The best instructional videos are from John Danaher. The Kimura is sucj a strong move. Learn do it correctly. You will learn the techniques with so much detail. What I really like is how he puts everything into a system. Everyone at any level will learn something from it. I have been training jiu-jitsu for over 15 years. I find there is so much more detail and depth you can still learn. I highly recommend this.
Great breakdown of fundamentals and different positions
totaly andsome
Amazing game changer video!!!
Great instructional, huge help for understanding position using kimura. It would be great to see some grip fighting instructionals from you guys I have been looking for a while for some
many great kimura instructionals out there so there is a lot of competition. This is pretty much comprehensive at least in comparison to other kimura instructionals out there. Especially what i found unique was the setups from halfguard bottom and even more so the setups from bottom turtle, they really work and John gives amazing details.
Great series!!
These videos are excellent. They are extremely detailed. John does a fantastic job of conveying the information in a clear and easy to understand way. This definitely improved my game. I would recommend it to anyone who was wanting to learn more about the KIMU�RA SYSTEM!
Fantastic detail into a rather simplistic concept of the Kimura! The reason I bought this DVD set is that I wanted to FULLY understand the nuances of the position; you can always count on that from a Danaher instructional!
Excellent
I purchased this because I saw a purple belt come to our gym and ****** us with kimuras. When I asked him where had he learned them he mentioned mostly through Danaher's system, so I decided to try it myself. Now I am using this system even in the gi with good success.
Kimuras were never really a part of my game until I watched this instructional. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to understand how kimuras can be used in different contexts.
I’m a white belt that has been training Jiu-Jitsu for over a year in Japan. On cyber Monday I bought myself a copy of your KIMURA: ENTER THE SYSTEM DVD set. I have fallen absolutely in love with the submission and now I try and use it on my training partners all the time. Not only are the explanations in my first language (a luxury while training in Japan) the descriptions and applications are so clear that I picked up on the basics right away. It’s my goal to become the Kimura guy at my dojo and thanks to this DVD I’m on my way!! 10/10 recommend
I’ve landed 2 kimuras and not even finished the second video yet
While this instructional is mostly about the kimura submission there is so much more to it. From this instructional my guard passing, guard retention, back takes, control, escapes, arm bars, and triangles have significantly improved. When I watch John Danaher's students compete I see them using these techniques. Which is awesome to know it not only works in my gym but on the competition mats.
John Danaher has changed my entire game plan and understanding of BJJ. My game is on a new level!
A fantastic instructional, so much information and detail. If you are serious about improving your kimura game, you cant miss this set.
I have been focused on kimura lately as a go to attack. When I got this DVD though I realized that kimura is way more than I’ll ever know. It’s a whole set up to controlling your opponent on the mat.
Im enjoying how this isn’t only improving my kimura game, but how I’ve used the concepts all around.
John has more Jiu-Jitsu knowledge than anyone. The details of technique will definitely deepen your knowledge and skill.
Kimura: Enter the System is a superb instructional that has skyrocketed my kimura game. It's provided several key details that have allowed me to better understand the kimura and how to apply it in various situations. Highly recommend!
