There are a few concepts from the Go Further faster series whichbare nice to remember. The floating pass and the bodylock Pass are a Game changer in No Go.

As always super helpful details.
The video is well organized in a systematic way, and I found them very effective when I tried them at gym, so I’m quite satisfied.
Another Danaher masterclass
All of it is good but there is a areat section on passing half butterfly.
Clear No-Gi System with Practical, High-Percentage Concepts Very well-structured No-Gi instructional with a strong system-based approach. Clear explanations, practical concepts, and high-percentage techniques that connect smoothly into an effective overall game. A solid resource for anyone looking to improve positional understanding and technical efficiency.
Everyone should watch this before purple belt.
Another Danaher masterclass
I’ve just started watching the course and I’m already learning many small but incredibly important details.
Very good details on passing
Great stuff
John is long winded but very detailed. His method of dissecting the positions has been immensely useful for me
Great as usual, a lot of details and expertice
I specifically liked the body lock and forcing half guard parts.
Look, if you have purchased a single one of this mans programs you know what I'm about to say and that is that you will not find a better version of this product.
Excellent detail on passing
As a gi-player, I needed to understand passing without grips. This was very good, especially if you're used to the danaher systems.
Another great instructional from John Danaher. All the details you need for efficient guard passing in no gi
Beyond the techniques, John provides a sense of direction from open guard. This instructional would be helpful for anyone unsure of how to make and maintain connections from the bottom position
Excellent overview of key passing positions for no gi. Been able to quickly put these concepts into practice to give me far more options for passing.
very detailed
He's the best for a reason! This instructional is no different!

John is a mastermind. He gives every detail posible
A must have for any no gi enthusiasts. Johns details are fantastic and I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to up their passing game
Negation first , so much knowledge about breaking grips and putting grips back on.
Brilliant teaching about how the guard players control is between the knees. So much details that I didn't know
Fantastic details.
excellent overview of guard passing from opening the guard hand fighting through open guard passing to body locks. excellent!
Awesome
Exceptional content like all other Prof Danaher videos
Usually I used to stall or just go for a armbar from side control. Since Learning this part 'be ready to take the back at all times' I am getting more back takes in sparring from side control. Thank you John Danaher 🙏
Great stuff. Immediately helpful out the gate.
This is a great, comprehensive approach to guard passing. it teaches everything you need to know about it.
And also thanks bjjfanatics
I've been training for 10+ years and Professor Danaher never ceases to amaze me with the finer details that determine a successful step vs a disaster. This has been the most eye opening course I have watched on BJJ Fanatics and will continue to use these methods on the mat. Fantastic course!
Essential
I found this easier to follow than Gordon Ryan's guard passing instructional.
Thorough explanation of the challenges and objectives of guard passing, followed by particular guard passes. Found this easier to follow than Gordon Ryan's guard passing instructional.
