Amazing
John is a Master of Teaching. I love how he explains techniques and shows it multiple times giving explanation of what to do step by step. The way John teaches really allows for the content to sink in for me. I wish I could train with him in person but having this instructional is as good as it gets. This instructional is worth every dollar. Thank you, Mr. Danaher
Very in depth breakdown of this ankle lock system. This really helped me understand the difference between Achilles locks and rotational ankle locks
Great content and clarity for all levels
I love Danhaher's detailed explanation. His instructionals help me be a better coach for my students. Thanks John!
Really change my straight ankle lock.
This tutorial from Danaher is so good. So detailed, and he explains all aspects of the ankle lock. After watching the first videos I was already using it in class.
Clear and easy to understand yet very detailed. Has already improved my leglock game
I knew Mr. John Danaher was a genius in everything related to BJJ, but having the opportunity to watch and rewatch this series of videos till fully understand the technique and the physics behind it it’s completely worth. Cannot wait to train with him at Kingsway!
John Danaher dilivers as always!
Whats to say another excellent product by John Danaher well worth the money . If you wanting to improve your leg locking game then this is for you.
Best instructional
Great details
Such a good addition to enter the system: leg locks
Really good instructional from John Danaher
The legends throws us mere mortals bone that can be used to take down giants. I'm not saying it's easy. But with the help of the master, new things are possible. This move is just so sick.
Mechanics I have not seen before
Amazing instructional on AOKI lock by the GOAT John.
Everyone should watch this
I have studied the ankle lock for years and this Master The Move has taken me to a new level.
Amazing as always with John
Amazing stuff
Excellent.
Modern approach
A technique that we learn early on and then we seem to give up on and focus on heel hooks instead. This instructional suddenly made me re evaluate things and going forward I will change things for sure.
Seriously changed my game as a whitebelt.
This video brings a new light to an old submission, and makes it highly effective and tecnical, took my anklelock game to another level
This has been a great instructional. Very detailed!
Nice overview on proper grip and mechanics for a very effective ankle lock.
Excellent details on how to finish ankle locks and turn them into a massive threat from guard
Great detail on offense and defence on ankle locks!
Great
Always learn a tons when watching John Danaher's videos
possibly the most in depth ankle lock video i have ever seen
Solid system from Dana her as usual
Extremely Satisfied
Another John Danaher masterclass
Looking forward to upping my ankle locks in future competitions, great instructional!
Mechanics that most people don't teach
My daughter a blue belt was having trouble with foot locks….not anymore
As always, solid details.
I've bought the ankle lock instructionals from all the top athletes who have made them one of their signature moves but John really hits the detail on the keys that make them possible.
Very Good as usual. Many variations of entry and finishes from different leg lock defensive positions. Lots of emphasis on high percentage finishes from many different scenarios.
Sharp and precise details! Eye opening concepts and central problems addressed!
Still busy with it but great detail so far. Wish it was for gi as well.
Great details. Always learning from John Danaher
Only halfway through, but loving it so far, excited to add the ankle lock to the arsenal
One of the best Danaher instructionals structure wise. Really like the concept of the decision tree.
Super informative!
I Like the Level of Detail and the Break down of the techniques.
