I was a back hunter...but now I'm looking for mount every chance I get!
This system of mount is one of the most revolutionary and genius systems I have seen. It’s simple, just a 4x4 step system that allows you to cause discomfort for your opponent and eventually force them to submit from the best position in Jiu Jitsu. The mechanics of this system are simply fascinating. John Danaher not only has an incredible mount system but is a even better teacher. He demonstrates and explains everything in such a way that makes sense and is easy to remember. I highly recommend this instructional.
Absolute gold, changed my game!!
This video is one of the best instructionals to date. This video breaks down the concepts into fine details that are extremely easy to follow. It explains how to get to mount, how to hold mount, and of course how to attack from mount. The breakdown of information is incredible. The on camera interactions between the instructor and his training partner are filmed very well.
Great instructionnal by Mr. Danaher. As always
This insttructional goes over different ways to get to mount and to finish your opponents once your their. Danaher goes expalines a good system to smash your opponents from the mounted position.
Help me develop an awful smothering mount. I love it.
I don't think I ever realized how in depth the mount could be. It's one of the most basic pins and one with which I've had a love/hate relationship over the years so seeing all these new possibilities has really opened my eyes.
My training partners hate me. Thanks John!
So much great stuff
Great stuff
So easy to follow and improve right away. The system approach to moving from one attack to the next is so amazing. Highly recommend
So far, this is my favourite of Danaher's. Concise, and it's meme gold (his interactions with Placido are extra hilarious). If you are like me, you've been taught many mount attacks that seem hard to land unless the person is new or makes a mistake. Danaher shows you how to systematically go on the attack. Invaluable.
This is saying a lot, bit this is my favourite Danaher instructional so far. He's totally in his element in this one, and I found it easy to apply the principles instructed straight away. Also, there is meme gold in this one. His interactions with Placido (RIP Never Forget) are hilarious, and there's even a section that's meant to be funny, but it's also helpful (Placido's Revenge). Have you been taught lots of mount attacks, and just rarely saw an opening for them unless the opponent made a mistake? Danaher will blow your mind with his lessons here. Get it!
This is pure genius! I thought I knew these moves but the way they are taught in this product are so much better. Taken my mount game to the next level.
Mounted Pin Attacks is a full system of offense Great instructional by John What a wonderful solution to many issues I had
Really good technical detail with a cool approach to this tough to master position
Growing more and more in love with the top game lately, and this instructional is a big part of the reason why.
Excellent video! John is an incredible teacher and his 4x4 system has improved my attacks from the mount a great deal. I really enjoy how he breaks everything down, examines the problems you might face and provides the solutions. I highly recommend this system to anyone training in BJJ.
Best instructional I've ever invested in.
As a very bad white belt, this has been a truly brilliant instructional - I have gone from never being able to hold mount for more than a second to frequently tapping people from mount. Saw progress in my game from the first chapter. Couldn't recommend any higher.
Just do yourself a favor and buy everything John puts out. No questions asked, just buy.
Helped me really put together offense and retain mount. Something I was really struggling with.
This instructional has completely changed my game! Its is an absolute gem and well worth the money.
Amazing for beginners. Very detailed and very systematic. I'm learning quite a bit.
Great Danaher Videos as usual
Great content, very thoroughly explained.
Danaher’s material never ceases to bring added value to the Jiu Jitsu community! I have already been able to incorporate some of this system in live rolls. My mount game is dramatically improving! Well worth the investment!
The material is awesome. Learning the four different steps in the position has changed my mount game or the better, no doubt. The instruction is easy to follow and very detailed. Jon is one the goats for a reason.
Given me a systematic approach to breaking down attacks from mount. Great system
The level of detail and explanation is incredible. I went from someone who struggled to finish from mount usually giving up the position to finishing higher belts within a month of studying this instructional.
Best mount techniques I’ve seen
This is a must have for all belt levels. I wish my instructors from the late 80's/early 90s could have explained the pinning concept this way.
Another gem of a series from Danaher. Implementing moves from this instructional has helped my mount game a ton.
Once again, a gem. This is the most advanced stuff. Out job is to learn it and build forward fro It.
Excellent. Goes well with the GR series as the ficus is on the path to control and submission. The other adds nice nuances to it.
Johns videos are amazing as always mounted pin attacks is no exception. He teaches system that help you improve positions that you are working on.
As always JD delivers highest quality material, explained in detail, well structured, simply great.
This DVD is changing my view on the mount.
I have been good at guard and I am a guy around 215 and felt helpless in mount or bored. I have both John and Gordan Series. THe thing is Both are different. This helps your understand how to pin and be floaty and adapt so your oppenent never gets use to your mount. You will find yourself hunting for submissions. Thank you. I plan to buy any video John releases.
Never disappointed in the instruction on a Danaher video. No better on the planet to breakdown the position so thoroughly and make it easy to absorb. Also. when I'm tired I throw on my Danaher instructionals and let my mans calm and soothing voice take me to dreamland. 🤔:shrug::male_sign:
Exactly what you hope for from a Danaher instructional. Next level stuff 👍�
I haven’t finished this video yet but between this and Gordon’s mount video I have improved dramatically. These have been the most useful videos I’ve bought so far. John and Gordon’s videos seem to go hand in hand with each other but are not the same info.
Skillful Technic when I get the mount.
Great videos. Thank you for this new mount attack system
Great instructional. The same quality of content I have come to expect from professor Danaher.
This is a wonderful instructional, a game changer in taking the mount forward in a modern comprehensive way. John is doing a wonderful job in breaking the details and showing everything in a way everyone can understand. I highly recommend this !
highly detailed, very thorough. the instructional is well thought out
Another Danaher instructional that is just fantastic. I always find the way he walks you through the positions and mindset to be best for my learning style. So far I am a few videos in and I can already see my mindset change.
I love this video and selfishly hope that others don't buy it : ) I guess the cat is out of the bag and everyone will be using this stuff. The submission threat is real from the mount in No-Gi ! The system makes sense and is surprisingly simple (great execution of course is not simple). I have had a lot of fun attacking from the mount.
