Danaher does a comprehensive coverage of the shoulder crunch position. Multiple counters or "what-ifs" are covered. I particularly like the use of three demonstrators: Danaher, Placido and Reese. The move is demonstrated by different ages and body types. I particularly appreciated the full resistance demonstration between Reese and Placido. It gave me confidence to see two competitive athletes proving the effectiveness of the position.
JD Always delivers. Very happy with this format instructions.
Master The Move: The Shoulder Crunch Series by John Danaher - Do not miss this!
As always the man behind the man shows the secrets to the trade
I have observed the shoulder crunch Sumi Gaeshi for years and thought I understood the move. I was very wrong and am grateful for the knowledge.
Love it . it's great 👍
Loved watching this and have added many new fantastic details to my game. Much appreciated John!
Not as good as butterfly insrructionals though
arm angle and pushing action of the same side leg sweep.
Really good and easy to follow along.
This video series is succinct, almost to a point where it feels like details are being left out. Perhaps there just isn’t that much to shoulder crunch, but it did feel a bit cheeky with some Volumes being barely 20 minutes long.
Nice
Another ****** from the best in the business. Like a toaster in the tub, this one’s a killer! Strong no gi grips are few and far in between, master the few that matter for the greatest outcomes.
A brilliant deep dive into the DDS signature move. John gives his comprehensive breakdown o the move with entries, follow ups when being stifled and complete mechanical details....incredible from mr Danaher once again.
So many amazing details and superb articulation on theory and execution. Highly recommend
I have always wanted to master the shoulder crunch position and I believe that this instructional will be a perfect tool. John's DVD'S have always been game changers to my no gi game and this instructional will be no exception. Techniques shown are well explained, suitable at all levels.
The details make the difference here and I've been immediately able to implement this into my training. 5 stars.
a lot of good content!
four step sequence for performing sweep.
Videos awesome
Loved it all. Especially enjoyed the last bit making it real back at Kingsway.
Great instructional Well organized Great for beginners and advanced practitioners.
This is the instructional that can be a game canger, because the shoulder crunch is in my opinion is one of the strongest possitions in no gi jiu-jitsu. I hope I will be able to find solutions to my issues.
