excelente video
Just awesome. So much details in "just" such a move. Three main locks will be covered and transitions to other positions and locks (submission). Thanks Mr. Danaher!
I find Danaher's method of instruction perfectly suited for how I learn - off the mat and by myself. He explains and repeats so many times that when I do hit the mat I feel like I've already hit the move and can remember nearly all of it. This was the case with this video series as well, and shoulder crunch and pinch headlock especially became a part of my game inmmediately. As a smaller, older grappler with short legs I've never bothered submitting off my back, preferring instead to sweep and submit from top. The pinch headlock armbars gave me a submission I can hit from bottom. I think what this series is really missing though is a section on grip fighting sequences. It's all well and good to show the arm drag, double tricep grip, two on one, etc. to get to the pullback to get the opponents' hands to the mat, but how do you get there against a knowledgeable, resisting opponent? Danaher should have devoted a half hour or an hour to misdirection, fakes, etc. to build up a repertoire of 2, 3 and 4 move grip fighting sequences in order to establish those vital grips.
Incredible depth of knowledge
The instructor to black belts for a reason
Detailed explanations. I highly recommend it.
Great system! Not just shoulder crunch but so much more. All options explored with ways to response to each reaction

I'm a 15 year old green belt, and this has helped me so much. A great instructional that breaks down the shoulder crunch system in a clear, logical way, Expected nothing less from John Danaher. I'm already destroying my training partners with it.
