• Never fails

  John Danaher’s Kimura Americana Lock series is an awesome instructional. I never really used Americanas before, but after watching this, I started hitting them all the time. He explains things in a simple, clear way that makes it easy to learn and use right away. Super helpful and definitely worth checking out if you want to level up your game. The details he shows really make a big difference, and the way he connects the Kimura and Americana together opened up new options for me. It’s easy to follow even if you’re not super advanced, and it gave me a lot more confidence.

• A new and improved take on a classic submission

  Here Danaher shows a new and improved way to do the Americana(American lock) and make it work for you. He shows the common problems and how you can over come them. He also shows more uncommon subs that you usually don't think of as Americanas(American lock). Best of all he shows great ways to isolate arms from side control that can be used for many other submissions was well.

• Revitalization of the americana

  Lots of cool details!

  Peter T.May 4, 2025AustraliaVerified buyer4-6 yrs training

• Amazing!!!

  I really love this new series that focuses on one specific concept. The flow chart in the beginning is helpful and I’ve already had lots of success using this knowledge to submit with the American lock as well as transitioning to Kimuras and back takes. Less is more sometimes in a sport that has such a vast amount of information available. I plan to start the Anaconda series next but I’m enjoying this step in my evolution thanks to Mr Danaher.

• Making the American lock great again

  John shows how to set up and land the American lock on opponents past their first week of BJJ. So if it used to be a great submission for and then everyone started to escape it give this a try.

  So much to learn here. I’ve never been a big fan of the American lock until now. I have a whole new respect for it both as a submission and as a way to elicit predictable reactions that help you gain an advantage.

  DAVID H.April 16, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBrown belt10-12 yrs training

• Good stuff

  While this will completely change the way you look at the Americana, there’s also a lot of great information about side control and mount that I’ve been able to implement apart from Americana attacks.

  I thought I knew this move pretty well but after watching this I think I’ve improved it by a lot. Excellent info. Definitely have to be careful with this one. You can really hurt somebody fast if you’re not careful.

• Americana the Catch Wrestling Style

  Another excellent instructional from Danaher. The grip configuration he promotes on the V arm lock is what catch wrestlers have been using.
