Its filled with alot of great insights on how to pass those annoying guard players
excellent content
John Danaher is the best at explaining. Very easy to listen and follow.
Another great instructional by John Danaher, with key details not seem everywhere. Thanks!
I was having the same of staying in the closed guard on my knees and became comfortable with it since I started Jiu Jitsu. As I've progressed, I was having issues of defending sweeps and submissions from not following my professor's instructions to stand. After having meniscus surgery, it added to the problem because I wasn't confident in my knee fearing I'd reinjure it. Learning from John on his site is the best because he is so detailed and teaches so well. I have already started utilizing these techniques in the gym and kept the promise to STAND UP. Thank you, John love your content wish I could train with you in person, but this is the also fantastic.
This was a great video and help me out a-lot in my game. Was able to see the difference immediately.
The best teaching by far..A must have if you want to become awesome at guard passing.
Mr. Danaher bring us one of the most fundamental skill in jiu jitsu in a very systematic way, a must have!

Well explained
You can learn the fundamentals and mindset of BJJ that tend to be overlooked.
Very good explanation, with a lot of practical examples and strong technical detail.
A fantastic instructional for understanding the why behind guard passing, not just memorizing techniques. Danaher lays out the fundamentals of posture, distance, pressure, and passing strategy in his typically detailed style. It can be dense, but the concepts are incredibly valuable for building a reliable passing game. Essential viewing for anyone looking to become a better passer.

This instructional gives a very clear and systematic understanding of guard passing. John Danaher explains not only the techniques, but also the concepts behind pressure, distance, control, weight distribution, and preventing guard recovery. The details are extremely valuable and help build a strong long-term passing system instead of relying on random techniques. Very detailed, structured, and worth revisiting multiple times. Highly recommended for anyone serious about improving their guard passing.

Great step by step instructions and great explanation of the techniques.
Its an incredible method with basic an efficient techniques
I was surprised how helpful this instructional was. I had to watch 60% of the content, before things really clicked; however, once it did I started passing and pinning everyone I train regularly with: blues, purples, and even a brown belt who is infamous for his incredible defensive frames. Highly recommend this to someone who is willing to make the effort and go through all the content.
