The reviews

• Great detail and easy to apply.

  Like all Danaher material, there is an extensive amount of practical detail. The video is planned out from the easiest to most complex techniques in a way that makes each move a foundation for the next. My side control has leveled up immensely in the months I've spent putting these principles into practice on the mats.

• Standard Danaher instructional

  As always, Danaher gives you incredible details and explains the overall concepts that make everything work. He focuses on high-percentage moves and strategies - there are no flashy Instagram moves here. This isn’t for someone who wants a short, simple instructional.

• The Foundation of My Game

  This is easily my favorite John Danaher instructional. There is zero filler—every single volume in this series is incredibly useful and packed with crucial details. It completely changed how I approach top control and has become the absolute foundation of my game. If you want a truly systematic approach to side attacks rather than just a list of random submissions, this is a must-watch.

• A must have

  Once I started passing guard the natural progression was attacking from side control I bought this dvd to fast track that.. and it worked incredibly. Still one of my favourite dvds to this day.

  I love the amount of specific instruction and detail that John uses. It can feel like too much at times, but it has also helped me to slow down my side control game a bit and focus more on tight control and setups.

• Completely Change My Success Rate

  After watching Professor Danaher complete the succession of moves and breakdown the fundamentals of this ideology of the system, my success rate at my gym has completely improved. I am a 6’1 230 pound male. So side control has always been my go to position of control. Now in instead of just using my weight and strength to staple people down, I’m actually completing submissions on even higher belts than I.
