Great instructional on passing the
Great instructional on passing the guard. Goes very in depth on techniques and always goes into theory of why we do what we do.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:A lot to take in but this is the best info out there
Danaher is a great teacher, but likes to explain everything in extreme detail. While this means sometimes the amount of information can e a little overwhelming, ultimately this is a good thing as you come away with a deeper understanding of the subject than you would if you were just copying someone else's drills. If you find his presentation style a bit much, stick with it! Because at the end of the day his body of work is pretty much the most complete understanding of jiu-jitsu and ground based fighting we have right now.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:The guard passing instructional is phenomenal
The guard passing instructional by John Danaher is absolutely phenomenal! John teaches you the core principals of passing your opponents guard, so you don't just learn the moves, but you recognize certain patterns and milestones that you have to reach in order to pass your opponent's guard. Phenomenal!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Danaher Classic Solid Analysis and profound technique
Great instructional. As expected from this analytic mind of Danaher. Instructions are clear and well structured and the focus lies on an approach relying on the most effective techniques based on a solid concept of guard passing. The only missing thing would be a mind map. That would be the awesome top pinnacle. Even though the DVD is awesome in itself already.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Excellent
An encyclopedia of guard passing. Excellent!

Not even the smallest detail goes unnoticed. John gives greater detail into any and every aspect. I feel more confident in my ability having just listened
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Danaher is incredible
John danaher leaves no detail out, his knowledge is second to none, and I feel more confident in my passing ability having listened
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Brilliant as usual
Danaher lays out a lot of material in an easy to digest, hierarchical game plan to improve your BJJ. Even if your passing is solid this video will help to refine it.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Best passing instructionnal
This is a very complete and good passing instructionnal. It mostly covers all thhe more classic guards, but in a extremely detailed way. It is a must for sure, worth every dime, especially if you are beginner or intermediate, because of all the fundamentals covered
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Amazing as always
I love this video, help me a lot!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:ROUGHNEX JIU-JITSU
I trained Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for close to 30 years got my purple belt from Rorion, Royce, Helio Gracie. Caique was also a instructor there at that time. I was fortunate enough to be a member of the last instructor training program lead by Helio Gracie. The rest of my Jiu-Jitsu career I have been a autodidact.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:I have a much better
I have a much better understanding of guard passing from studying these videos and keep learning more each time I watch them. Excellent instruction.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Worth it!
The section on how to pass and break connections of different types of guard is worth the price of admission alone.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Great system and instruction
Great videos with the key points I have been missing with many of my passes. I love that he has a system based on the high percentage passes actually used successfully in sport. Also, the way he teaches these core techniques but then reviews examples of how to switch and alternate between them makes for a better game. I'd recommend them, except then you'd be harder for me to keep in my guard.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Amazing job at categorizing and
Amazing job at categorizing and having a hierarchy system of what works best. And most importantly proving it in the real world.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great for people getting back into BJJ
I just got back into BJJ after a 2 year layoff. This was one of my first instructional purchased along with Prof Danaher’s guard retention instructional during the lockdown. The break down of everything really helped me to drill at home so when I finally got back to the mats I had the muscle memory of my basics. Great for all levels for sure!!
