A overlooked position
Really good. Very detailed. I love his instructionals that focus on one move.
Amazing
Exceptional info as always.
Master the Move: The Back Crucifix is a hidden gem in John Danaher's library. Rather than focusing on the traditional back position, Danaher dives deep into the back crucifix—one of the most dominant and underutilized control positions in grappling. His systematic approach breaks down entries, control mechanics, transitions, and high-percentage submissions in the detailed, conceptual style he's known for. For grapplers looking to expand their back attack arsenal beyond rear ***** chokes, this instructional provides a powerful finishing system that can catch even experienced opponents off guard. A valuable addition for anyone serious about developing a complete submission game.
Yet another amazingly informative video series by Mr. Danaher, this time on the back crucifix position. I learned so much from it.
Awesome insights on how to maximize control and reduce the risk of loosing the position, details that are relevant clearly explained, highlighting the pros and cons of each position.
Danger doors a great job with his system here as expected.
Covers top and bottom leg controls.
Leveled up my back attacks
Now one of my go to’s. I love trapping arms making them feel useless
It is very helpful.
Amazing
Absolute game changer. A must have.
I’ve had pretty good success with the crucifix and I bought this product to tighten everything up. I learned many details that I’m looking forward to giving a try. Thanks
A complete understanding of a non fully explored position until now.
First class as usual. Great fundamentals leading to emphasis of the small very important details for finishing from and controlling the position. Lots of entries into the position.
Great system and easy to use.
Great Back crucifix course from John. Thanks!
good move for those with short legs and have trouble with body triangles.
Excellent pricier and clear instructions
John does another masterpiece with this one. I always get people in this position but never know what to do. After watching this instructional, this is my favorite position to put people in.
Wonderful detail
So many intelligent concepts that will change your crucifix game.
A thorough review of the crucifix. I wanted more theory and I got it.
