Passing the Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
Passing the Guard is the third installment I’ve purchased in the GFF series. Professor Danaher’s breakdown of the positional Concepts continue to be what makes his gi instructionals so beneficial. It’s 8hours + of the most often seen passing maneuvers, with the added bonus of his clear-to-understand human mechanics concepts! The videos are high quality. The sounds is clear from every angle and he drills techniques from multiple. I’ll continue buying until i have the whole series I’m sure. What a resource 😀

Back Attacks Enter The System by John Danaher
I'm a 2 stripe white belt who has been training a year, and before studying this instructional I struggled to maintain the back on even brand new white belts, nevermind finishing from the back. Since then I have had loads of success with the straight jacket system, trapping arms and finishing RNS. I even managed to tap a blue belt a few weeks ago! Furthermore I finished with a RNS in a recent local comp and I could hear Danaher whispering sweet sweet strangling mechanics in my ear as I finished. Incredible instructional and highly recommended, however be prepared to watch 1.5x speed.

The No Gi Half Guard by Bernardo Faria
I like this tutorial. First of all Bernardo had a fun personality and explains things well. I learned a lot from this series and have been working on my knee shield technique as he explains in volume 1. I haven’t got a chance to practice everything but even on the first watch through I learned alot.

The Foundations of Back Control by Ante Dzolic
I struggle with maintaining the back long enough to submit so usual I just transition out after holding long enough for points. This addresses that right away. Get ready there’s A LOT of info here. It’s all good stuff and explained extremely well. I recommend not trying to watch it all at once. Bite pieces off and work on your sticking points. Also revisit Ante’s material because he is very detailed and there will be different things that stand out to you at different points of your journey. I have 5 of his instructionals and as I progress in skill I pull different things out from the same info. Don’t sleep on this one…get it.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Finally...mount escapes seem possible
Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
I've been relying on the bridge/roll/foottrap method with varying success rates...but Danaher's obsession with the elbow escape has given me a real tool for dealing with the many better fighters I'm rolling with as a whitebait. I actually get it. There's a panic you feel under mount (for good reason) and his frame technique and his focus on positioning to get their knee is so so helpful.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Effective and efficient techniques that work (even as a white belt)
New Wave Jiu Jitsu: No Gi Guard Passing by John Danaher
Jiu-jitsu has a history of being effective but Danaher's techniques increase its effectiveness while making them simple and straightforward (which is indicative of a high level of knowledge in both technique and principle). I'm a four-stripe white belt that's been training for 8 months (mostly 4-5 times per week) and I have been able to use these techniques to pass the closed guard of blue belts that are half my age (I'm 51) by simply using the techniques in this instructional video. Plus, John shows you a great way to handle possible sweeps after you stand and they are also effective, which allows you to feel comfortable in attempting the guard pass since you know you can quickly recover from a sweep and still achieve the guard pass. New Wave Jiu-jitsu is the beginning of the next phase of jiu-jitsu for the 21st century that will serve to make jiu-jitsu an even better system. A big thanks to John Danaher for his innovative and effective approach!

Total Ippon Arsenal by Shinjiro Sasaki
Sasaki-san has one of the most aggressive, attacking, ferocious, blitzkrieg, and technical styles of Judo I've ever seen. I've seen him compete in person years ago and was blown away. So naturally, when I found his video on BJJ Fanatics (by accident), I purchased it instantly. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and I wish I had this 20 years ago (or more). I'm both a Judo and BJJ black belt, but Judo is my first love. We've all learned the "textbook" versions of Seoi Nage, Sode-Tsuri-*, etc-- and many of us have had limited or no success applying them in practice (shiai/competitions or randori). That's where Sensei fills in all the blanks that I (and others) have been missing that the high-level competitors know. He explains in a very clear way numerous gripping strategies, body movement, feints, grip breaks, crowding, kuzushi, footwork, and everything needed to make a throw actually work. On top of that, there are numerous crazy variations presented for each throw that many of us have never even seen in the dojo/academy-- many of the ones we've always wondered about when we see the high-level fighters at the international level competitions. There are all sorts of insane Seoi variations and setups, and likewise for Sode-Tsuri, and others. Sensei's ability to explain the concepts in an easy to understand way is greatly appreciated. He breaks down each move into steps that mere mortals can follow. It is true that he makes everything look easy-- and it isn't. But with all the details he provides it is achievable by most judoka willing to try. Not only is he a creative and successful competitor at the highest levels, but a great teacher that is able to transmit the knowledge to the rest of us. A hidden gem, in my opinion. For me personally, beyond all of the above, Sensei is roughly the same height and weight category as me. And he mentions numerous times how as a "short" person, or a person fighting a taller person, "this is what I do." I can totally relate and these are HUGE details that I've been missing for years (essentially, all opponents are bigger and heavier than me). He is also very candid and will say that such and such a technique doesn't work for him-- such as when he shows "textbook" O-uchi-gari. He says it doesn't work for him, and he shows a number of amazing options that indeed DO work. It is hard to pick any favorite technique or part of the series because it is just chock-full of gold. Seoi-Nage, Sode-Tsuri-*, and Ashi-guruma are among my tokui-wazas (favorite techniques), so I found these parts extremely interesting and filling in many blanks. Moreover, he shows a technique that I've never seen explained before-- something I've affectionately called the "Kashiwazaki" since that is the first time I saw it (1981 World Championships). It is a super dynamic Kouchi feint to Yoko-tomoe-nage. He demonstrates this once mysterious move beautifully. In short, there is something for everyone, regardless of your favorite technique. If you've watched dozens or hundreds of high-level matches for fun, and yet were puzzled at what on earth they were doing, this video will answer many of your questions. It is hard to describe, but Sensei looks like a machine when performing techniques. He is absolutely precise, sharp, technical, and aggressive all at the same time. I can't say enough positive about this series, and it just fills in so many details that were not available to me in my dojos over the years. He has great energy and positivity. Watching him apply his techniques full speed makes me want to jump out of my chair. I envy the students who get to train with him at his dojo/academy. Whether you are a judoka or BJJ practitioner, you will acquire the grips, kuzushi (off balancing), footwork, and aggressive attitude to take your "takedowns" to the next level and beyond. Bravo Sasaki-san on an amazing series and to BJJ Fanatics for making it available!

Wrestling For BJJ by Hudson Taylor
Theres some sections that are great, he basically gives you a whole single leg system, and the grip fighting section is also very useful for a beginner. However, a lot of it seems less like wrestling for bjj and more like just wrestling. Sure, there's certain breakdowns and pins you could see being applicable, but none of those lines are drawn for you, and they aren't all that efficient for bjj.

No Gi Fundamentals Bottom Game by JT Torres
Does a great job of demystifying guard work and gives you more than enough material to play around with. I do wish it had at least some mention as to how certain guards play together, but for how cheap you can get it with daily deal and the almost constant 50% site wide sale, it's definitely still worth the money.
