Felt lucky to get this
Desde o início ensina técnicas que você vê em campeonatos mundiais mas que um faixa branca consegue aplicar
I have watched this video over 5 plus times and every time I am amazed at the attention to detail. Great content to speed up your learning.
Great techniques and insight for passing guard from all angles and situations. This upped my guard passing game big time.
On the constant rotation of watching for me always come back to this when my game is struggling and realize how simple things are when you just think about does this grip really do anything for me or does his or her grip really help them if yes break it if no continue my moves
very good details
As always, Mr. Danaher breaks down the techniques so that anyone can apply it at the academy
Very detailed.

John Danaher’s Passing the Guard offers a highly structured system for dismantling opponents’ guards with precision and control. He emphasizes concepts like controlling distance, breaking alignment, and applying constant pressure before introducing specific passes for different guard types. The instruction is deliberate and detail-heavy, making it perfect for those who want to deeply understand the mechanics rather than just collect techniques. While the pace may feel slow for some, the clarity and logic of the system make it a resource you can revisit for years. It’s a comprehensive guide to turning guard passing into a methodical, high-percentage process.
Very useful content about the basics of escapes which are not always covered at your typical BJJ school. Immediate improvement.

Learn the details that make guard passing from the feet work.
Very detailed and systematic. Quickly found myself passing with ease from small adjustments.
Danaher does a great job going over fundamental passes for beginners
I haven’t finished the instructional. I’m a 47 yo grappler, so I don’t have the mental capacity to process the whole instructional but I have always found that the materials is game changing. It’s like relearning fundamentals but properly. I really wished I would have trained with Danaher when I was living in NYC. Amazing professor.
