• For all BJJ students

  Great resource and explanation for fundamentals must have for libraries for all belts

  Ramon P.September 6, 2026United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Fundamental

  altogether exceptional instructional, but it requires the right viewing strategy. Watch it straight through once just to absorb the overarching philosophy and take those core fundamentals—framing, bridging, and posture—directly to the mats. Don't try to memorize every dense, analytical breakdown on the first pass. ​The true brilliance of this set reveals itself when you revisit the material months or even years later. As your grappling IQ deepens, re-watching these modules exposes a wealth of critical micro-adjustments and subtle details you inevitably missed the first time around. It is a masterclass that functions perfectly as an initial blueprint for surviving bad spots, while doubling as an enduring reference manual to continually refine your escapes as your game evolves.

• All the help I can get

  The video clearly explains and breaks down what to do to escape pins. I haven’t watched the whole set of videos yet but even the shrimping and bridging techniques have helped me in my guard recovery a bit.

• Pin escapes

  I felt like this product and the way John explains escapes made me progress so much faster and actually have a game plan in mind when rolling almost like a check list when trying to escape.

  Edward J.July 16, 2026United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Great Instructional on a Vital Topic

  Danaher has a well-earned reputation for being an elite instructor. Here he helps us with one of the most important areas of jiu-jitsu - escapes. You don't want to get stuck on the bottom, and as Danaher says, it's important to have good escapes when you are on top so that you open up your game and attack, and don't hold on for dear life because you're scared of getting reversed and put on the bottom.

• Video Review

  Learned a lot of practical and simple techniques that work really well against people my own size. Some of the concepts taught in the videos carry over to other positions very well too.

  AnonymousJuly 11, 2026United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Amazing fundamentals

  My goal as a white belt is very much “don’t die” and these escapes have really helped with positional awareness and the entire idea of “position over submission” as a beginner. Highly reccomend.

• Escape Instructional

  Amazing content. Wish I knew these details when I first started! If you're on the fence about if it's worth the money, go for it.
