Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent Instructions
Two months into BJJ and going against others with 1 year + experience and I am able to control and escape them. No doubt these instructionals played a huge part in that.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Must get title for anyone new in Jujitsu
This has helped me advace my game soooo much.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Brilliant
Very clear explanation from conceptual to detailed practical examples. A must in which to build your defense and escapes.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻An in-depth, near-comprehensive guide to escaping pins.
I have made use of this instructional extensively yet and had plenty of success applying most of the techniques. As a white belt, even though I've watched all the DVD and tried to apply most of the techniques, I still find it useful to come back to for the plentiful technical details to further refine a move every time I fall short. I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars as I think more could have been covered with respect to technical mount. There also should have been more about turtle escapes especially since it's part of the DVD title. There's only about half of one volume devoted to turtle escapes and that's only for two grip and from one or two positions.

Great instructional!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes: BJJ Fundamentals - Go Further Faster By John Danaher
Great instructional for any level will improve your ability to escape pin positions and will allow you to become more confident at attempting sweeps and submissions.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great pin/turtle escape instructional
This was the very first instructional I ever studied when starting BJJ. I’ve come back to it for certain concepts time after time again. It is an absolute wealth of knowledge spread out over the course of concise, very organized sections. This instructional is great no matter where you are in your grappling career. I especially appreciated it starting out as I think it helped me not spend so much time in terrible positions and actually escape to positions where I can start working my offense. Would highly recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Stop getting side pinned
I felt I was constantly getting crushed in side control so I figured i'd give this a shot. Helped tremendously with various types of side control, sit outs and great theory as to how to think about escaping side.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Brilliant Instruction
I know some folks don't like the way Professor Danaher speaks or the repetitive nature of his videos, but I personally love it. He presents not only great detail in the exact movements, but presents concepts and general philosophies that help the us to grow in all the ways Jiu Jitsu does. I am a white belt of only a few months, but I'll be watching this years and more of professor Danaher's content in general I'm sure!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Worth it
Very useful explanations that I have been able to implement in classes with great success
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Further and Faster indeed!
Truly improved my game significantly. Absolutely highly recommended! Thank you so much John Danaher!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Amazing series
As a fairly new white belt I appreciated the thoroughness of his explanations
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻very focused
I'm very new to bjj and this instructional has been really helpful. Everything from abstract concepts about the principles of escape to specific details about a given technique is concise and very thoroughly thought out.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A must buy
Anyone and everyone will find this instructional helpful
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great for beginners
Despite the fact that beginners are more interested in learn the latest crazy new submissions the truth is that without developing their escapes they will never get the change to practice them and as with most subjects related to BJJ John Danaher provides the very highest level of instruction.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Essential for beginners
The level of detail he provides, really helped me understand the problems I was having. Would recommend this to any beginner. Just pace yourself.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent Instructional
I would recommend this to anyone at any level! There’s so many details in each technique and the concepts are amazing!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great escapes
This is the base of any good BJJ player. Positional escapes lay the foundation of good defense.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗GFF is my second favorite series after enter the system
Very detailed and thoughtful overview of major escapes. Really helped me focus my game.
It has it all
As usual, John has done a really great job of gathering all information you’ll ever need about the subject at hand: escaping pins. It’s all there, don’t look anywhere else, and the techniques he teaches are tested in world level competition. It’s a must have.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻This instructional video is awesome!
This Pin escapes and turtle escapes video from John Danaher is awesome, it really opened my eyes to all the possibilities and ways to escape. Straightforward and easy to understand, but also appeals to those wanting a very technical approach. I found particularly interesting the part about what JD calls a rising shrimp and how it plays into formulating a better escape tactic for certain scenarios.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻An excellent resource
As a 140lb 46 year old, I have found this instructional very helpful, it has really helped me to get out of bad positions and negate a lot of the pressure people sometimes apply.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great fundamentals
Amazing tutorial! Has helped me become more aggressive with submissions because I feel I can escape any position if I am reversed
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Best instructional for beginners in BJJ
I just want to quickly say that this instructional gave me the ability to survive BJJ classes long enough so that I could actually learn and start progressing. The pin escapes series teaches you how to get comfortable (as much as that's possible lol) in those super uncomfortable positions and survive, and after some time I noticed that my peers can not hold me down for too long before I start putting them back in my guard. Absolutely essential skillset for every beginner. GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Amazing
For where I am at in grappling, this instructional has been the most impactful in my improvement from when I watched it two-three years ago.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic Fundamentals
Really Enjoyed watching this tutorial, it had a breakdown of so many moves that I now have a better understanding of the mechanics. Guys a Genius! Strongly recommend!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Simply great
Systematic, detail oriented and breakdowned in a manner everyone can aquire!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great BJJ starter instructional
This was probably one of the first instructionals I purchased on BJJ Fanatics and the one most worth my money. John Danaher adresses a beginner's main problem when starting- being stuck in different kinds of pins. Once again he offers a systematical approach instead of just showing a bunch of escapes without any connection between them. A must have for everyone who wants to up their game in the beginning and never fear getting stuck again.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Changed my game
I went from stuck under 300lb monsters to them being scared to even try and pin me. I can’t thank John enough. These techniques work and work well even if you’re training partners are much larger
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻JD is a complete and
JD is a complete and well rounded instructor. His videos greatly help me in improving the techniques I am already aware of as well as introducing additional techniques and jiu jitsu strategies in an easily understood manner. Money well spent.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻very insightful!
very insightful!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻In-Depth Escapes Instructional, Awesome for Gi and Applicable to No Gi
Very detailed instructional. He provides methods and techniques that shut down your opponents attempts to stop your escapes. Much more information and content than I anticipated, but all of it is worthwhile!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A must-buy fundamental instructional
In-depth, detailed, every move is broken down into fundamental concepts. It may seem slow-paced at times, but it's really effective if you put in the time.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A must for any newbie
I was frustrated with getting pinned in side control and this course resolved that for me. I feel more comfortable and confident grappling with higher belts now.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Most helpful instructional
I bought this instructional since I was a blue belt that could not get out of side control or north south no matter how much I flailed around. After watching this and drilling some of the side control and north south escapes I am much harder to keep pinned. This has helped me survive against purple to brown belts. Can’t thank Danaher enough for the amazing content. Truly a game changer.
