The reviews

• Amazing in depth guide to the back crucifix

  Amazing insights on the back crucifix. The systematic approach to both the techniques and concepts of the back crucifix are a testament to Danahers knowledge. This is an amazing addition to his existing back system.

• Exceptional Breakdown

  Danaher's systematic teaching style shines right from the start; Volume 1 lays a perfect foundation by focusing on "Building Your Understanding of the Back Crucifix From the Ground Up" and thoroughly explaining "The Logic of Back Control in Jiu Jitsu". Whether you are new to the position or looking to refine your finishing mechanics, this instructional provides world-class insights. Highly recommended for anyone serious about upgrading their back attack systems!

• A Underrated Gem

  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.

• Another must have

  I have truly enjoyed the fine details John Danaher provides in the Mastee The Move series in general and The Back Crucifix in particular. It is impossible for you not to improve with this work.

  Kevin D.July 28, 2025CanadaVerified buyerBlack belt10-12 yrs training

• Brilliant Danaher

  Once again Danaher has found an assymetrical position as he did with leglocks. Whilst the rest of the Jiu Jitsu world attacks the neck from back control, he has found a superb method to create a tactical advantage. At the very least, you will learn how to stop and defend the crucifix position should you not wish to pursue it, which I think is unlikely. I particularly liked the details on transitions, and when and why to go for a 2 handed conventional RNC and went not to. Glyn Powditch

  Excellent details on controlling and finishing the position. I wish he included a few more entries, like the stockade, but you can get that from youtube. Almost everything else you want to know about the holy grail of back control is here. Amen.

• Master The Move: The Back Crucifix

  I'll be honest, before this course, I barely gave the back crucifix a second thought. It's one of those positions that doesn't score points, so most of us just ignore it, right? Wrong! Danaher completely opened my eyes to what might be one of the most underrated positions in all of BJJ. The submission opportunities from here are insane, and the control is suffocating.
