Need to know
I feel like this is a cheat code. The small details make a big difference.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Amazing for begineers
So glad I picked this up in my first few months of training! I would start here
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Will change everything you thought
Will change everything you thought About escapes and your general approach to BJJ. Must have for all levels
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻It will help you survive
Great for anyone especially for the guy or gal finding themselves on the bottom struggling to get out.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Best Escape Teacher
I have this escape series and all the New Wave Positional Escapes and Gordon also Garry Tonon Exit the system. Getting pinned ****** so I needed more than what I learned at my school. I can watch this if I don't have a drilling partner and execute. The fundamentals will make you remember what position you need. I can think of what I learned even when overwhelmed and Now I started counter attacks already. This has upped my game and people know me for my pesky defense. I tested it against guys about 70 pounds heavier.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fantastic content
The level of detail in John's systems is incredible. Practicing these techniques in class has helped me to make some huge improvements to my jiu-jitsu and allowed me to escape from tough pins against higher belts
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Worth every penny
This video series is what defined my transition from white belt to blue belt. I got to the point where I felt (and still feel) confident that I can escape any pin situation. What this does is enable me to take risks that might put me in bad spots, but I have the confidence to know that I can escape.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Outstanding quality
Very detailed and based on easy to understand and easy to implement concepts underlying every move! Highly recommend for both GI and NOGI!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Helped me escapenside control.
Methods upon methods. My side control sucks this really helped.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Absolutely essential
Completely brilliant course! With detailed installation on the most fundamental pin escapes
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Tons of golden nuggets. Must
Tons of golden nuggets. Must have for beginners.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Believe the hype
For me, this one definitely lived up to all the rave reviews. I honestly don’t think there is anyone else involved in BJJ who has put this much though and conceptualization in what they do. As an English speaker, his voice is easier for me to understand, as well- which may seem like a small thing, but over the many hours of content, plus the fact you’ll probably watch most of it more than once, it adds up. OSS!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Master the Basics
Great introduction to how to not get smashed constantly!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Best explanations
This is great! Just buy it!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great stuff
John Danaher's instructionals combine in-depth knowledge, precise language and a clear system where everything is connected and one thing leads to another. Great both for improving your own jiu-jitsu as a student and systematizing and expanding you knowledge as an instructor.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Should be Required Watching for Jiujitsu Teachers !
I thought I had a pretty good understanding of escapes..... Was pretty decent at getting out of bad positions. I really re-learned the fundamentals here - at a much higher level than I had learned them many years ago. Changed the way I looked at standard moves I thought I knew well such as the bridge (single shoulder bridge I should say) and elbow escape.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Content!
This is a great video that is well put together. It addresses all of the things necessary and puts them together in an easy to follow order. I would highly recommend this video to anyone.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great place to start or to get details starting out
John Danaher is considered the best for a reason. Top level details and explanations.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Applicable under battle conditions
The best ways out of sticky situations from the Deadly John Danaher can't go wrong with this purchase
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome
Incredible details loved it!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great for identifying what to do next!
This instructional is incredible. Prof. Danaher provides a heuristic approach to escaping generally, rather than a bunch of techniques that work only in certain situations.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster By John Danaher
Loved this series! Helped me with recovering guard against upper belts.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻comprehensive
I loved this series. John is really methodical and detail oriented,
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Helped me frustrate my training partners. This will instantly improve your game on the first watch.
I have been struggling with side control escapes and was wondering why my elbow escape wouldn't work in advanced mounts. This helped me understand. The way John Teaches the fundamentals stays in your head. You can remember the principles to help you get out of positions that you never learn how to escape out of. This is so detailed and made John my favorite instructor.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Amazing detail
The most thorough instructional I've bought. Brilliant.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Finally...mount escapes seem possible
I've been relying on the bridge/roll/foottrap method with varying success rates...but Danaher's obsession with the elbow escape has given me a real tool for dealing with the many better fighters I'm rolling with as a whitebait. I actually get it. There's a panic you feel under mount (for good reason) and his frame technique and his focus on positioning to get their knee is so so helpful.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Complete
Awesome addition to my collection. Danaher explains it all better than anyone.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Super useful
Super useful. I wish I watched this when I first started.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Another Danaher deep dive
Danaher explains how to get out of trouble. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome!
Awesome!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes
A solid start for any white belt. After learning and mastering this, you'll become un-pinnable or, at least, make any higher belt work really hard.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Pin Escapes
excellent basics. This is stuff that can be used by someone day 1, or great review for a high level belt.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Foundational Defense
This instructional is thoroughly detailed which is no surprise coming from Danaher. Although executing the moves will take some time, I now have a fundamental understanding of what's happening when I'm being pinned and what steps are necessary to get out.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The key to survival
Best instructor on the planet. For whitebelts, escapes creates confidence. John breaks this down so well.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great details
So lucky to have John teaching us the foundations of jiu-jitsu

Good in depth instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻exelent instructional
fantastic and easy to apply
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Helps you think of how to escape You NEED THIS
I just started watching this and man I love the teaching styles. You are laid out not just techniques but things that will sit in your brain and remember what kind of escape to do. Sometimes the more moves you learn you don't know what to do but this is a system approach of what escape y ou have to launch.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻excellent
Has helped my game being measure.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻phenomenal
