Great product!
Totally worth it!
Danaher is the goat
What more can be said about John Danaher. This series is so good. It also helps with Gi and No gi understanding but obviously mostly no gi. The clear and brilliant way he brings in concepts and they why of everything is genius. Amazing.
Perfect.
This is my 9th video and my passion for BJJ grows more after every Danaher course. The details are so great that it seems like a lifetime to get to a mastery level Danaher desires his students to achieve.
This instructional has completely changed my game! Its is an absolute gem and well worth the money.
Excellent concepts and thorough review of technical details as always. Well worth it.
I am a fan of Prof. John Danaher and his student Gordon Ryan. By watching this instruction, I could deeper my understanding of the recent guard game Gordon Ryan plays. I highly recommend buying it.
Excellent finishing details for sweeps that I was having trouble with
Outstanding resource. The techniques are spot on and his remarkable ability to explain and demonstrate every detail is awesome. Definitely recommend his products.
Just bought the back system from John and get this as my new collection. I can just say by acquiring this article, that John never stops to surprise me!
Excellent as usual
As always John Danaher breaks down what coyld be an overwhelming scramble of techniques to a concise,structured strategy for any bjj practitioner.
The guy covers all the bases and does it well. This is a more detailed wrestle up style of Gordon's seated open guard. I highly recommend this instructional.
John explains everything you ever wanted to know about open guard, this time focusing on sweeping and reversals (rather that entries into the leg’s like volume 1) all explained with John’s usual level of depth and detail!👍�👍�👍�
What can I say? This is a fantastic instructional, the BJJ is evolving once again and this instructional along with understanding the strategic mindset will blow you away. I used to such at sweeps and this was amazing with a bit of studying and practice, you'll evolve. Get it now!
Really revolutionized my understanding the mechanics of sweeping and reversals from open guard. Video is well formatted as always and easy to digest! 100/10
Amazing instructional! Was able to improve my jiu-jitsu immediately.
This instructional is full of great insights into open guard. I have shorter legs so closed guard is harder for me but this instructional has helped tremendously
Great product. I am about halfway through and it is the best I have seen for wrestle up/sweep from Danaher
Amazing instructional
I found playing guard in no gi difficult without the security of gi grips. Excellent instructional for learning movements that keep opponents off balance and set up easy reversals.
I absolutely love this video. My son and I have watched this one and others have f Danaher’s several times.
As always Mr.Danaher never disappoints with these instructional’s. Information you can apply instantly to your next class is just amazing. Would recommend to anyone in the community.
Open Guard Vol2: Sweeps and reversals is fantastic. I really enjoyed the wrestling moves incorporated with BJJ and will practice those with my son who is a wrestler.
Very detailed breakdown of open guard positions, entries and situations. The additional detail helped me improve positions that I often used in my game and allowed me to develop more options from those positions.
Let me tell you that Danahers new wave jiu jitsu is really a new wave, learning how to wrestle up and be confident while doing it is huge!
Fantastic instructional!
Awesome content!!
This was a gift
This video identifies not just the core techniques which will give you the most mileage and are the most robust while playing open guard. It also provides you with a general strategy of how to play the open guard in the first place (for nogi). While the first chapter of open guard helps you build a foundation game of open guard and not loose the position, this one teaches you how to go after you opponent and attack. I would still recommend buying other videos from Danaher, but if you can only afford one, this would definitely be my top pick.
Well thought and structured! Loved all the concepts and the way they were explained.
As always, great stuff from John Danaher.
Great!
You'll be getting awesome materials from these videos! Highly recommended.
Hard to go wrong with any Danaher instructional
This is an awesome product as always from John Danaher. This is the way I now teach and think about nogi jiu-jitsu.
love John as a man and an instructor
Like always a real game changer
Great stuff. You can’t go wrong with anything Danaher. Great explanation of concepts behind the techniques. Pricey of course, but still worth every penny.
This instructional is well thought out, well explained, and easy to understand. I am very new to the sport of jiu jitsu and this has been a great addition to my training. I would assume this would help all levels. Great Instructional !
Great instructional video !
His best Instructional today!
John explains the most efficient ways to attack in open guard. He explains the best attacks against a standing and kneeling opponent and which submissions are most successful. This is a great instructional on combining jiu-jitsu and wrestling which is needed in the sport.
Understanding all the dilemmas used and the Sumi Gaeshi chapters have been game changers
Sweeps and Reversals is the best instructional I have seen so far. In my opinion, it is excellent value for money. John Danaher covers a lot of topics and goes into detail on everything covered. It's like getting multiple instructionals for the price of one. Not only does it cover sweeps and reversals, but it also covers submissions from those sweeps/reversals. I would highly recommend any of JD's instructionals, but I found this one particularly excellent.
