Essy to follow concepts and breakdowns of pins, escapes from pins and extensive counter offensives when escaping from bad positions. Danaher's explanations are most useful for anyone interested in improving and teaching jiu-jitsu.
His instructional videos are awesome this one has really helped me improve!
Excelente instruccional
Excelente
I really like the different Danaher series'. This is one of my favorites so far. To still be a threat in what would typically be considered a defensive position is an incredible skill to have. It was always taught position before submission. This throws that way of thinking mostly out the window. The moves are practical and get the job done. What a great instructional. I think everyone should buy this because you are going to get something out of it.
My defencd substantially improved with this series
Best instructional about defense and counter attacks ! Thanks to John Danaher
the time that is invested to make a good explanation is just the best
Sharpening your defense to improve your offense is a transformative approach.
The philosophy of going from escaping to immediately attacking is definitely game changing.
Amazing Details
Amazing as ways, Mr. Danaher teachs that you not can only escape, but escape doing damage, and it covers all the major pins in the sport
Very helpful
Good instructional, but Danaher talks multiple times about going into detail with leglocks, but never actually goes there.
Wonderful defense into offense scenarios

I highly recommend this instructional. The three directions of attack make the system very structured and easy to understand. John Danaher explains every transition, control, and detail with incredible precision.
Best!!
Really opened new thinking on escapes! Great stuff
Covers nearly all positional escapes you'll ever need in no gi. Danaher gives you a solid conceptual framework to defend yourself. My defense improved tremendously from watching this. Highly recommended.
Danaher understand the what, who, where, when, why, and how. This is a masterclass on escapes into submissions.
Great ever time I watch this I pick something new up
Very thorough and analysis
One of the best instructional for escapes so far. Basic, and so important. Every arrack stars with escapes
In my opinion, these is one of the best basic escapes instructional I’ve ever seen. And built the base for every attack
Here you will learn the tools necessary to turn the tables on your opponents in the quickest way possible and go from defence into offence immediately Note this is a part of a serious along with submission escapes, and some things are explained in more detail in that product and are only briefly touched upon here
I bought this video and watched it some months ago and took it to heart and greatly improved my escargot and retention. This second time around I feel like the last few pins that were giving me trouble are much improved. Thanks for the knowledge.
