exceptional
Wish I had this instructional as a white belt, highly recommended also to the coloured belts. Danaher teaching stye is one of a kind. It is not entertaining, but his understanding of the body dynamics and details he point out are astonishing and keep you engaged.

The GFF and Enter the System series are fantastic -- great details and an important focus on the underlying concepts/mechanics (the "why").
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Passing the Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster
Professor Danaher is really a pioneer in revolutionizing the modern day jiu jitsu game. In this instructional he shows the concepts and theory on how to pass any guard. By knowing the concepts on how things work, you can develop your system on how you will pass the opponent's guard. This is a great investment along with all the Go Further Faster Series.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻great!
great video!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻invaluable resource. incredible teaching.
John Danaher's teaching of the Fundamentals of Gi Jiu Jitsu has been an invaluable resource for my development, i'll often find that I will re-watch chapters many months later when i revisit a technique.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Passing the Guard: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster by John Danaher
I finally understood how to do a proper guard pass! From white to blue I struggled passing the guard with very skilled (or more athletic) players. John Danaher does an amazing job breaking down the details on each guard pass. Although my techniques are still not perfect, I can easily pass almost everyone's guard with ease. John Danaher not just teaches you the "how" of the techniques, but also the "why". He does a great job of making sure you have a deep understanding and knowledge of any topics.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻He never fails.
He never fails.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A necessity
This product, specifically John's concept of staging positions and using them to keep your opponent in mechanically weak positions has been critical to my game. I needed this and I found it here on BJJ Fanatics.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great knowledge
As always John Danaher dropping great knowledge everyone can learn from.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great course
I know it’s been out for a while but this course is still very relevant and there is a lot of great details. Some people say danaher repeats himself too much but this actually helps me remember his lesson. Highly recommended for all levels
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻So helpful!
This video is extremely helpful! Again, Danaher does not disappoint and it is the small details he covers the bring tremendous insight! Get this!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Deep understanding of fundamentals
Fantastic instructional! Giving me a much deeper understanding of BJJ
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Amazing
Must have vídeo! This is something that all bjj students should learn!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗definitive guide for guard passing
I've learned so much from this DVD. I highly recommend to anyone that is facing problems to pass guards.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻the master delivers again
As always, the master delivers and articulates movements like no other. John Danaher's real gift is his eye for detail and his ability to make the complex relatable. Above all, you learn the "why" to a technique, allowing you to defend it or transfer it to another situation. Excellent!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻My favorite instructional
I have most of Danaher’s Go Further series, this is the one I keep coming back to. Honestly I’m going down a knee slice rabbit hole that doesn’t seem to end. Super fun!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great video
John Danaher is a genius, he breaks things down so well. Jiu jitsu techniques explained in a philosophical way. Whenever these are on deal make sure you snap them up. Audio quality is perfect. So much attention to producing a top quality product. I would say there is a huge gulf between his videos and everyone else's.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏼Must own
This video is a must have in your collection. Danaher breaks every little detail in guard passing like you have never seen before.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻fundamental passsing instruction to review forever
This video helps me tremendously since I've purchased it. I review the material all the time to try and get the details down for passing the guard. Love it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Amazing how much I realize
Amazing how much I realize I don't know when hearing Danahers teachings! Very good guard passing tutorial!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great series
This was my first Danaher instructional. I bought it as a white belt, 2 months after starting. Within weeks of watching this, I was passing guard pretty effectively, even against significantly more experienced opponents.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The Best Passing Video for New Practitioners
I have been using this material for two years now, and my ability and confidence have gone further, faster. Danaher summarizes and strategizes better than most others.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻I’ve been training for 8
I’ve been training for 8 months now and I have been focusing on the glamours submissions, but at the end of the day if can’t get passed someone’s guard you don’t get the chance to execute the subs. This has really helped get into the right position.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A beautifully simple and effective system
I own all of the Go-Further Faster series and this is, by far, the one video that has improved my game the most. From the very first video I was able to effectively open my opponents’ closed guards and go on the offensive. The system has saved me a huge amount of time and energy and boosted my offensive confidence.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Lots of repetition
In the first 2 volumes (I dont know about the rest yet) there is ALOT of repetition that I was first a bit annoyed with. But that way its also almost like "learning by seeing".. Repetition is the mother of knowledge. Im looking forward to hear him talk about the knee-cut pass.. I have a feeling I'll get more details and variations.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻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🤗🤙🏻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🤗👍🏻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🤗👍🏻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🤗👍🏻Excellent
An encyclopedia of guard passing. Excellent!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Clear
Can’t wait to implement this on the mat.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Danaher details and brilliance
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🤗👍🏻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🤗👍🏻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🤗🤙🏻Excellent guard passing info.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗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🤗👍🏻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🤗👍🏻Worth it!
The section on how to pass and break connections of different types of guard is worth the price of admission alone.
