• New Wave Jiu Jitsu: A New Philosophy Of Sbmissions Escapes

  A very good series of escapes. Especially the leg lock aspect, Kimura defense and the Guillotine escapes improved my understanding of these positions. Thank you Mr. Danaher!

• Hands down one of the best investments I've made in my jiujitsu journey. This instructional is a game-changer. The breakdown of each escape is crystal clear. I've been able to apply these techniques seamlessly in live rolls, and it's saved me from some sticky situations. The content is always well-organized and the tips are super effective. If you're struggling with escapes or just want to improve your overall jiujitsu skills, this video is a must-watch.

  Long B.October 8, 2025CanadaVerified buyerPurple belt7-9 yrs training

• Nice escape

  As a 1 year white belt I've been applying these escapes successfully against purple belts. Great course. Cons: Naming of sections are not useful for quick navigation - escapes 2, 3, 4 do not tell me anything. And also I wish he showed more ankle locks instead of just heel hooks and toe holds (which as a white belt I shouldn't do).

  Very easy to follow and implement. Discusses technique but also concepts which can be applied across scenarios outside of these specific escapes.

• sub escape

  I gained a ton of knowledge from this instructional. I have a bad neck so the escapes for the guillotine was my favorite section! Thank you!

  George Z.February 12, 2025United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• most high percentage submission escapes

  Escape for the most popular submissions (except for the rear ***** choke) I not only shows technique but deduces the technique out of the concept he showcases here, namely "reverse engeneering"

  Christian K.February 11, 2025GermanyVerified buyerWhite belt4-6 yrs training

• Worth the Wait

  This was the last of the New Wave series that I purchased, mainly because it didn't show up in the Daily Deal for a year and a half. Since I was lacking in solid submission escape material, I also got Garry Tonon's Exit the System and Craig Jones' one for beginners. I really like those, and they were helpful. But... They don't hold a candle to this. Yes, Danaher doesn't go over things like the Buggy Choke, and that's where I'm glad I have Craig's. I also like Garry's perspective and style. Yet, Danaher is so clear and comprehensive in his teaching; this is far and away the best. I'm so glad I have this.

  Very detailed, goes over many different types of escapes and counters. Covers a lot of info on different possible situations one could encounter. He slaps ole' boy around though **** Nonetheless excellent instructional, didn't expect any less from Professor Danaher. 11/10 would recommend.

• Must Watch for Any Beginner

  I never thought i'd ever get the chance to get such a deep explanation of the mechanics & progressions of each submission. Danahers way of explaining things might not be for everyone but I personally found a lot of moments unintentionally hilarious. Definitely worth every penny if you're serious about competing & training.

  The leglock counter section alone is worth the money of this instructional. I love how this instructional doesn’t stop at escapes and leans heavily into counters
