Even with the gi or no-gi, J.D always delivers the best.
The level of detail here is amazing. John Danaher is one of the best martial arts coaches because if his emphasis on biomechanics, and his knowledge of known reactions by opponents based on the sport. Highly recommended!
Awesome……Danaher breaking down details as usual. You can’t go wrong with his instructionals. I’m
This Danaher’s instructional is a must have. It is a game changer. Highly recommended.
Fantastic instructional that will help turn your escapes into effective offense and allow you to escape any difficult position.
Great
There's all the other instructionals and then there is Danaher. If you're ever wondering what to buy then I would always default to Danaher. Never fails to amaze me.
John has a way of explaining positional escapes in a way that is both practical and conceptual. This will greatly bolster your ability to escape inferior positions and impose your game against the opposition.
Awesome instructional video. It focuses on the basics and it is taught very well. A good foundational video for practitioners of all abilities.
I initially flinched at the price of this instructional. Think about it this way however, you're learning elite level escapes that will ensure you are never pinned or held in an "inferior" position again for the price of 1 maybe 2 months of jiu jitsu classes. I agree some of the sections are very long, but the details taught here are what are required to be able to escape pins by superior grapplers. This instructional is worth the time and investment.
With Danaher you know what you get. A very detailed instruction. This has helped me a lot to get more on the offense, not just escaping. I really recomend it.
As always I learn some key details with John that i wish I would have learned earlier in my bjj career
Great, insightful instruction
Excellent video with great detail and pace.
Amazing video very straightforward
Great video for not only escapes but for controlling these positions as well
I feel my game has improved ! It is very efficient.
Well thought and structured! Loved all the concepts and the way they were explained.
Great fundamental principals on these videos that I often review.
Great video. The way Danaher fuses detailed technique advice with an emphasis on principles and fundamental ideas is second to none.
Great details to review a couple times while practicing
The moves are explained in great detail. The video camera is always in the proper view of what is being taught. The concepts are brilliant and explained in a way that’s easy for a white belt to understand.
Fantastic Instructional! Johns ability to break down concepts and techniques for everybody to understand is amazing. This instructional is well worth it.
Great video. Detailed instructions to help you understand the concepts of escapes and submissions directly from the escape. Can’t go wrong with instruction from Danaher.
I was extremely pleased with the theory and coherent explanation on each escape. Being an older grappler I was worried it would be something out of my wheelhouse but I was pleasantly surprised. Instead of escaping to a neutral position you go into attack mode. Mind blowing right? Sometimes genius is merely stating the obvious and not doing it the old way just because we’ve always done it this way.
Great instructional video!
So far this is the best instructional video that I purchased. The concept of attacking after escaping a bad position really opened my mind for more possibilities. I really believe this is a must buy for everyone to be more proficient in leglocking game.
Reverse shrimping vs hip connection was a game changer.
Mastering these pin escapes taught in this instructional is a must. With the ability to escape from anywhere you can now constantly be on the counter attack, something which this instructional teaches well
After studying and practicing the techniques in this instructional for the past couple of months I am already close to unpinnbale against most of my peers and even against some who are double my weight. The kipping escapes alone are so fun to pull off and have made bottom mount almost desirable to be put in.
Beat instructional I've bought
This by far is the one that i would 100% recommend. i have all the new wave series that’s been released thus far and this is my go to. as a new white belt i find myself in many of the situations mr danaher discusses and i now am able to get out of them ! i highly recommend this one.
I have made much progress on the mats and became much more aggresive with my game after watching this series. Prof. Danaher is presenting a new mindset for the sport. Money well-spent. Thanks Prof. Danaher!
Anything by John Danaher is :100:
Best positional escape instructional you can buy. Game changer
Great video. The attention to detail and philosophical approach are effective at delivering a terrific instructional.
Not finished with the course yet, but I’m extremely happy with my purchase so far, amazing and practical details that make a huge difference. John Danaher is a fantastic instructor.
Love the new concept and ways to approach being in bad positions! Definitely a must have for someone wanting to be deadly in their ground game!
Nice to see more content coming from Danagher. Keep them coming
John Danaher’s videos are tremendously well done. His ability to teach is remarkable.
Excellent content 10/10
i have been using these techniques in class and they work! My coach is an 18 year, 245lb black belt and i was able to escape his mount last week. not an easy thing to do. thank you John Danaher!
Bit of a glitch accessing my video! But the team fixed it up within 24hours. Happy as in rear mount
Every instructional of John is absolutely brilliant. They are helping me to gain knowledge in every area of jiu jitsu to have a answer for everything when I step on the mat. It is so systemized that you can built skills with a clear path instead of randomly gaining a move here and there. The small details he gives are making a difference after just watching a few seconds of the Clips.
Excellent guide on escaping pins and turning the table to your advantage. The concepts are very well explained, paying attention to details.
Nice
Perfect teaching from the greatest Jiu-Jitsu coach of all time. Only one flaw of the series: The red shirt guy was frequently making unnecessary small moves while John was talking, dude even played with his own feet and then smelled his hand. I don’t have a problem with him doing all those off the camera but it’s just distracting and unprofessional for such valuable videos. I hope John replace him with someone who can sit still as a 10 year old could do when there’s no requirement for movements. Anyway I still rated the series 5 stars because of John, thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge John, it’s a honor to learn from you.
Amazing instructional!
