Extremely Helpful
This is a great follow-up instructional to GFF Pin Escapes and Turtle Escapes. While there is some crossover between the two, this video goes further by showing how to immediately go into offensive attacks after your escapes. Highly recommended!
Must have
This is a must have instructional to continue to refer back to again and again. In particular i love how in depth the side control escapes are. Almost all of these escapes dont just put you back into guard, but they put you into realistic counter attacks, and even chain attacks. For example you escape side control with a high leg escape into an arm bar attempt. Admittedly (by John), this arm bar might not catch elite world class guys due to its mechanics, but it forces them to react in a predictable way which chains right into a strong leg attack. The only thing I guess I felt was missing was this didn't go into more detail with the fundamentals (such as basic mount escapes - this focuses on the kipping escape which itself is great but something these fat whitebelt isn't ready for yet). But this isn't a fundamentals instructional, it is all about the new wave philosophy of immediate counter offence. Easy 5 stars for me.
New Wave Positional Escapes: Excellent!
John is a great teacher and detailed instructor. One of the best for sure.
new wave jui jitsu positional escapes
great philosophy, made me much better against higher belts.
another masterpiece
must have content for nogi
excellent
understanding pins and escapes has improved my game substantially
Solid At all Levels
Very good at all levels and great fundamentals around escapes. Very leg attack heavy exit strategies but just save the advanced stuff for another pass through in the future. 100% geared to No Gi
Great video!
Change my escape understanding !

Incredibly detailed teaching
I know some find Danaher to be a drag sometimes and go on for too long. I personally love how detailed he is in his approach to teaching, it makes learning the techniques super easy and smooth.
Yes sir!
Doesn't get any better than this!
New Philosophy of Positional Escapes
Awesome!!!
Unlocking BJJ's Fundamentals
As a white belt with shaky fundamentals in BJJ, Danaher's methodical breakdown and clear instruction have helped me grasp essential concepts I've struggled with. I feel more confident on the mat, and I'm excited to see how my skills develop. If you're like me and need to strengthen your fundamentals, this instructional is a must-watch.
Instantly Effective
With John's thorough and detailed explanations of escapes, I was able to begin utilizing the methods successfully in live competition. It is a highly valuable product!!!
The Absolute
no one does it better than John! Unmatched levels of detail and a very much "love to hear everything" he is talking about! His instructionals are simply super fantastic!
A must

Superb
JD def one of the best instructor to ever exist
highly recommended
this will change your counter-pinnning game.
Another great series
Tons of fundamental escapes that will help you enjoy BJJ for your entire time on the mats.
Excellent instruction
I’m a blue belt who kept getting stuck in side control. This video has really helped my ability to not only escape side control but roll straight into a counter attack. All the different positional escapes are great. Highly recommend.
Really helpful
Can't wait to implement!
Defense first
Amazing details and new philosophy of not only escaping but attacking
Always great
Another great one
Great
If you have a good leg locking game, then you can take advantage of escaping and maximize your counter attacking options. Great course.
Love all of John's videos
John is the greatest mind in Jiu-jistu!
Excellent
Worth the cost.
Pin Escape Options
John teaches previously unseen options to counter pins. This content is gold!
Essential and worth every cent
I bought this instructional as part of the daily deal offers and it did not disappoint. John Danaher breaks down concepts and theories behind the moves that he demonstrates in order to escape pins and immediately counter attack with submissions. In my opinion, this is absolutely essential for beginners like me who find themselves in pins and submissions almost every second of the round.
