The reviews

• Danaher doesn’t disappoint

  Great instructional. Really enhances my my game as arm drags of course are for back taking, but the grip fighting, take downs, and defense parts are so good

• Master The Move: Arm Drags

  Outstanding teaching and demonstration of the arm drag. Also, a glimpse into how John Danaher gets his students to drill the moves he teaches. * Better camera work and audio than some BJJF videos.

• John Danaher – Master the Move: Arm Drags

  John Danaher’s Master the Move: Arm Drags is exactly what you expect from Danaher: systematic, conceptual, and incredibly detailed—but in a way that actually makes the technique easier to apply live. Rather than treating the arm drag as a single technique, Danaher breaks it down as a movement concept that shows up everywhere: standing, seated guard, butterfly, half guard, and transitions to the back. He spends a lot of time on grips, off-balancing, angle creation, and—most importantly—why arm drags fail and how to fix them. What really stood out to me was how much emphasis he puts on alignment, posture control, and timing. Small details like elbow position, shoulder rotation, and foot placement completely changed the effectiveness of my arm drags during live rounds. This isn’t just “do this, then that”—it’s understanding the mechanics so you can adapt the arm drag to different reactions. The pacing is deliberate, but if you’re someone who appreciates deep understanding and long-term skill development, this instructional delivers. After watching and drilling the material, I immediately noticed more success creating angles, entering the back, and forcing reactions that opened up other attacks. If you use arm drags at all—or want to—this is a high-value instructional that will elevate your grappling across multiple positions. Highly recommended for anyone serious about improving their BJJ.
