Very Helpful
This was very helpful and helped my confidence that I could get out of bad situations. However, I wish that there were more triangle variations shown and escapes to Kata-Gatame (Darce/Anaconda).

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻New philosophy of submission escapes
Excellent!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The most important things to learn
In the beginning the most important things you can learn are positional escapes -> to submissions and then submission escapes -> submissions, followed by passing the guard. When you have these incredible foundational principals provided by John that will be worked on the most in your jiu Jitsu career your game shoots through the roof.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻If you are thinking of which one to get for his New wave submission or positional escapes GET BOTH
I leanred how to get out of positions you are told don't escape just tap. I never seen anything like this. You counter a sub just like a punch and boom game over. Everyone expects you to go back to guard. You immediately find ways to attack and even get out the riskest of them all **** Hooks.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Good heel hook defense
Exceptional defense for heel hooks for anyone who wants to learn the most modern way to safely escape and also good guillotine defense

I use the information in this video on a daily basis. Top notch stuff
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻I can escape now.
Helped with every step of escaping submissions.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Game changing details!
Danaher not only provides amazing details but he also explains why he does them. This level of insight has been super helpful for my own game and also teaching others.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻best offense is a good defense
All of Danaher’s materials is pure gold. The section on leg lock defense has made my life much better.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Classic Danaher
This instructional is crucial to building the skills to a solid jui jitsu game. Danaher's methods of breaking down theory and moves makes a lot of sense.
Super useful
I'm getting submitted significantly less as a result of these escapes. I got submitted by a triangle in my last tournament, so I put a special emphasis on triangle escapes, and I've escaped about the last 10 triangles that have been attempted on me, some against solid opponents.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Covers a wide variety of submission defense.
Covers defenses for most of the major submissions. really goes into depth on leg lock defense which is very helpful.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗The GOAT Delivers, Again
Danaher conveys concepts to support his systems based approach to submission escapes so you are learning much more than just isolated "moves." He explains what the opponent is after with each submission, which is critical in understanding the escapes he details. His escape system is easy to follow and I can't wait to get into more precarious situations in the gym to practice these escapes :)
Great for learning!
It is great that John explains the mechanics behind each submission in addition to the escapes.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great instructional
Danaher is very good at breaking things down to their fundamental parts. This instructional has made me much more comfortable in these positions.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Escape!
Great overview and deep dive into escaping many of the most common and high level submissions
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Awesome knowledge
Finally I can mitigate getting submitted with a clear goal and step by step system. Mr. Danaher's escapes are really saving me during sparring and giving me the offensive confidence to go for submissions because if it fails then I have the confidence to escape. Great content as usual from a great mind. This instructional is a must have.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻An iron defense will make your offense skyrocket. Beginners start here!
Wish I would have focused more on pin and submission escapes at earlier belts. Great instructional with key details to effortlessly escape.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻AMAZING VIDEO
This is a great video and goes over everything from more beginner-intermediate techniques and goes over advanced techniques all really well
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻new way of thinking
A great new way to think about escaping submissions. I've just been trying to stay safe, now I can see counterattack options.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Legit
I'm on part 7 out of 8, and have some drilling to do to ingrain some of these, but already I'm getting subbed significantly less. The leg lock section in particular, which I haven't finished watching yet, has made a big impact. I used to be afraid of leg locks, and not really know how to escape, but now I'm letting people enter into my legs, and only really proficient leg lockers are submitting me.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Top of the foodchain
John Danaher really already brought a big change into the Jiang Hu, started with his leglock system, but who would have known that he reteaches almost the whole game by now. The only thing one can say by now ist Thank God Mr. Danaher is making these instructionals and please make New Wave Jiu Jitsu instructionals for the gi, too. ❤️️
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻JOHN DANAHER’S NEW WAVE ANSWER TO SUBMISSION ESCAPES!
Worth every penny. I learned so much. You get to learn how to escape armbars, triangles, front headlock, and tons of leg locks. He even teaches you lots of counters including many heel hook positions/submissions. You will get tons of value from these videos. I plan to come back to them for years to come.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Danaher is one of the
Danaher is one of the most amazing teachers out there every series I get ( and I have a few) I learn so many new details about techniques that I have learned in the past

In my opinion this should be required learning for everyone.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great course, JD is a
Great course, JD is a legend and anything he says will always be trusted and understood
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Dr Danahers philosophy of pin escapes
Professor/teacher Danaher lays out a espectacular instructional were all the concepts that I had problems with were resolved ( at least on a theoretical level haha). I can’t recommend this instructional enough, it will definitely change your game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Got most mileage out of this.
I have no official gym, but I have different circles of friends from rival gyms. I definitely surprised a lot of different practitioners of different ranks with what I learned from here.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Leave Them Scratching Their Heads
If you buy Danaher, you can't go wrong. This treatise contains the depth, clarity and thoroughness that we have come to expect from John Danaher. Study and practice these concepts and techniques, and you will become an extremely tough nut to crack.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Suberb
Incredible in depth explanation on how to defend but more importantly re-attack after defending. High quality audio plus video.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻New Wave Jiu Jitsu: A New Philosophy Of Submissions Escapes by John Danaher
Excellent!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Harder to tap me now
Having a great offense means to take risks, in order to takes risks you must be confident in your defense. This instructional has really helped to built my confidence in the worst spots!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Must have
Another instructional from J. Danaher. Always the same result: :top: Great stuff.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Another gem
Another Gem from Danaher ; You can start aplying these principles since day one. Havent nearly achieved perfection with this moves but, I will keep working on them! The confidence that you gain when you know that you can escape from bad positions (I highly recommend also the pin escapes from new wave series also) from bad positions really is a game changer!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Must have
Awesome instructional. Throughout the series John seemlessly integrates general conceptual ideas with a hierarchy of technical options, that may be applied from a given disadvantageous position. Concepts are explained in thoughtful, easy to understand manner. Techniques are articulated well, which makes them easier to remember.
