Guard Passing by John Danaher
Nice Combination of Body lock, torreando and float passing.
John is the best!
You already know! His team's results speak for themselves!
Great concepts for a game that works in no-gi and gi
I've only been training for two years but always wanted to know how to deal with playing open guard when you can't make grips. In the gi, everything seems based around establishing a lapel or sleeve right off the bat. Well, how do you work a guard game without the cloth? John's videos are great for teaching you concepts and this one's no different. He effectively shows how to entangle the legs, even when you're not going for leg locks yet as a white belt, and get you into a guard game you can start playing effectively without gi grips. Love his material.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Great detail!
All danaher stuff is great. Lots of detail and a little monotone, but like an encyclopedia of knowledge. I'd like to see rolling footage since obviously demonstrations are different than live rolling. But great stuff! So many options
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Lots of Great Details, But...
This is a good. However, after seeing Craig Jones' Power Ride instructional, I am attuned that some of these passes are more for scoring than for better control. You might win your match under certain rule sets, but I don't think some of these ideas will make you better for self-defense or MMA. That being said, you can still implement Danaher's excellent details for the leg riding game. He's incredible.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great instructional

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Danaher is a master of
Danaher is a master of carefully explaining each concept and not leaving anything out, or the student behind.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:fire:Great content
John Danaher is a fantastic teacher.
Building more confidence in passing guards
Guard passing is probably one of the hardest to learn and apply especially against someone skilled. Professor Danaher breaks it down to micro details to understand different situations and how to approach it. Definitely a must own instructional

Great stuff it’s nice to have a guide to passing no gi
Guard passing review
Dope stuff Great having a guide to refer back too
It's about the details!
The attention to detail and the consideration of a resisting opponent set it above similar videos. I highly recommend it!
Excellent to be expected
I am a blue belt and have had so much success implementing the thing in this video. Worth the buckaroos for sure.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Explains Theory!
Danaher is one of the few that actually takes time to explain theory.
great
Fantastic tutorial as always with John Danahers videos. Provides tons of details in a systematic way . absolutely worth every cent you pay.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Fantastic!
Outstanding details and instruction. The teaching is extremely clear, concise and easily understood. Highly recommend his instructionals.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Nothing held back
I’m only half way through and I already feel as if there’s enough to be worth the cost of the instructional. It is so detail oriented and thorough but not in a way that’s painful or boring to sit through. I feel as if this is completely beginner friendly with advanced extensions on some of the positions just as well. There’s so much footage to this instructional that if you watch long enough you might start to see John’s hair grow back. Nothing but good things to say!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:The required learning of No-Gi passing.
Since buying this instructional, I find myself time and time againg coming back to different chapters for clarity or refreshing my understaning of any givem pass I may have failed at. John does a great job strcuting everything from opening closed guard to passing half guard, kind of full circle in a way. You cantell John, Placido and everyone else behind the scenes had tons of fun filming. The jokes and banter really put a smile on your face. My afvourite of John's instructionals (which is saying a lot LOL), really cant reccomend this enough for EVERYONE at ANY belt.

Amazing content from John
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:The New Wave material is priceless
I love Danaher’s New Wave serious as it showcases a more modern approach to BJJ and submission grappling. I love No-Gi and this has improved my No-Gi passing game immensely.
