• MUST

  i am pretty sure there are tons of guard focus videos free and ppv, nevertheless what makes this video amazing (besides the usual JD work) is the opponents behavior approach, thatput some order in your system and makes it easier to understand. Very good material to view and review for long time.

• Love the Sumi Gaeshi

  I started with the Half-Guard series and really enjoyed Prof. Danaher's teaching style. His attention to detail, repetition, and explanations of the concepts really work well with how I prefer to learn. When I wanted to learn more open guard techniques I waited for this series to come out. I haven't made it through the whole series yet but I've been able to hit techniques that before were just mysteries to me. So far the technique that I've hit the most is the Sumi Gaeshi. The details and concepts in the video just work for me.

• Open guard fundamentals

  The information in this instructional is unbelievable. If you plan to go further than blue belt then you cannot go without this. This will save your years of training. I feel like I’m cheating.

• Open guard

  This is the poorest in the series so far,mainly due to the incredibly slow presentation and repetitiveness of the first half! The first five parts should easily just be one. However,when he get to submissions(I think part six) it’s five stars.

• Worth it's weight in gold

  I find that I'm able to apply the concepts John discusses in the instructional against training partners my skill level and under almost immediately after watching the DVD and even without drilling the movement first. Open guard and guard retention go well together, first developing an impenatrable guard and then going right into the attack. His explanations and in depth specific teaching style is so good I don't even watch bjj YouTube tutorials anymore, just buy his stuff already!

• Well worth it!

  Wow, JD comes out again with a VERY informative DVD series that is so very deep in knowledge of the BJJ open guard game. Just the section on gripping the GI itself is worth the price of the DVD alone. Me, being new to BJJ, find that many professors won't go to the depth of detail on fundamental principles that John does. Using his DVD's has put me on a fast track and the results are amazing. (I now give blue and purple belts a hard time. This is with only a few months of training.)
