Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Pin Escapes
This is the best explanation on escapes I’ve seen.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Instructional!
Very detailed, great fundamental lessons.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent Instructional
Not only covers the how, but the why of each of the moves he performs so an understanding can be gained to troubleshoot issues on one's own.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Foundational and Incredibly Well Instructed
This is a cornerstone course for literally anyone in their BJJ journey. I love the way Danaher teaches and cements theory and technique through repetition and explaining how to deal with higher levels of resistance. Literally none of these escapes are covered in my day-to-day BJJ class. I have found this to be incredibly important for my development.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻John Danaher is the best Gi and NOGi teacher...
This instructional series by John Danaher are like his usual material: outstanding. I really advice to any grappler, from novice to expert to boy this videos and all material from professor Danaher. Osssss

Perfect for every belt level. Great detail with as always from Master John Danaher.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Investment
I'm slowly building my go further faster repertoire and can feel my game improving with each video. The level of detail is unlike any other instructional video series I've seen and the systematic approach helps you recall the key concepts when it matters most. Well worth the investment!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻awesome peoduct

Phenomenal instructor. I love how he breaks down the philosophy of BJJ.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructor
Great instructional for a beginner like myself.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Start here
This video greatly helped me as a beginner, and I am still learning from it. I have received gpod feedback from upper belts about my understanding of the basics. John Danaher is a fantastic teacher.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Superb instructional!
This video was extremely helpful, especially for elbow escapes. Danaher explains the techniques in tremendous detail, which then help to understand the entire movement better. This video is definitely one to get!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Very detailed
Extremely detailed escapes concepts.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Pin escapes and turtle escapes
Well, John Danaher did it again. He puts out the best instructionals in the jitz world. The Explanations to how, why, and when are the skills beginners need in there and I journey. He is like Google maps to direct you through escapes in every position. I highly recommend for the beginners like myself. Buy this for sure.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Reassuring
Really enjoyed this video series. Very detailed and reassuring seeing how Danaher does his escapes and timing. Having fun being in bad positions.
Gives the what and why
As usual, he gives a detailed explanation of WHY one should do/not do a particular move and spends a lot of time talking about concepts that are applicable to many situations. Wish this was all I focused on for the first 6 months.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fantastic
Learn a lot and it has helped my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The little details that make all the difference
I wasn't sure if I should buy this one or not, but after watching it, I started to dream about how good I might be if I've learned this since I was white belt. I highly recommend this one.
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🤗🤙🏻Good choice
Very in depth and detailed and I also liked how it was in close caption.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Sooooo good!
Turns out I didn’t understand bridging OR shrimping! Tons of great stuff in this instructional but the bridging and shrimping details have affected how I approach the techniques taught in class at my academy. I am amazed by JD.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻I didn't know how much I didn't know about jiu jitsu
When I first went through this set, I was blown away by how little about fundamental defense I had been taught up until that point.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome
Awesome set of videos. Really like how John breaks down the fundamentals and concepts.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗John really breaks down the
John really breaks down the fundamentals in a scientific way that is understandable and approachable. He provides you the tools that work and preaches the ABC’s or important step that will help you improve.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Must Have Fundamentals
The majority of time when starting BJJ is spent under pins and attempting to escape them. Without learning to properly escape at will, the rest of your game is stunted because you are unable to attempt anything else. This instructional will help you expedite the time it takes you to learn to escape and therefore will speed up the rest of your progression in Jiu Jitsu. The level of detail on each concepts gives you enough techniques and ideas to work on for months at the beginner level.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗The Best Beginner Escapes Video!
I have been working this material for over a year now, and it has been an absolute game changer!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Next level fundamentals
Professor Danaher Clearly few fundamental concepts with an unbelievable level of deepening. I wish I had them at the beginning of my journey.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Highly recommend
Excellent. An encyclopedia in this area of BJJ.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A truly great instructional
John's students have said that the basis for their success is their belief in their defense and escapes. Watching this makes it clear why. John's instructions are clear and detailed. He also gives mutilple options for just about every position covered. There were a couple volumes that felt like information was being repeated almost verbatim and I wish a couple more positions had been covered but otherwise I don't have anything bad to say. It's worth investing in.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻First lesson to take in BJJ
J.D always states that escapes are the first things to learn as a white/blue belt, it is the foundation to build your game and he really delivers it with all the details. Great as always!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The best beginning instructional
By far the best instructional for a beginner. It is very helpful for someone that has spent some time on the map, but doesn't understand how to piece it together. He explains escapes and gives contingency plans if something changes midway through the execution. Very detailed and precise. May seem like information overload at first, but JD has immense knowledge of the the baby steps of BJJ.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Blown away
Its just amazing how John can explain bjj, it is not a simple "just do this", he explains the topics in an almost scientific way, is amazing how much you can learn with just one instructional!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great video with detailed info
Another fantastic video from THE professor. Definitely need to repeat it a few times to digest all of the detailed information.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Very valuable
This really helps! Grab someone or more and learn the things from DVD 3 and 4 on. Just do those and the back attack escape for 2 or 3 months a few times a week. Just 20 minutes. From white belt on. And review it after one or two years. You will have gained a substantial trust in your ability to escape. Which will lead you to becoming a monster in the making. Just watch the plenty details John gives you and take them by heart. It will help. Thx John!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes
Getting this instructional from one of the greats was the best decision I have ever made. It changed the way that I look at jiu jitsu and how to play it. As a beginner, by focusing on escapes you become confident that no matter what compromised position you will be in, you will be able to easily get out of it. John details all the escapes from different positions and presents different scenarios and options. This is truly one of the greatest instructionals out there especially for beginners.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Never Disappoints
Another great instructional by Danaher. The man never disappoints.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The best.
Been a brown belt for 5 years, thought I knew escapes. Turns out I didn't know much at all!!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Essential viewing
This escapes video series is essential viewing. What I learned from this has dug me out of a bad spot in countless rounds and let me practice the rest of my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Super detailed. I loved the
Super detailed. I loved the breakdowns. Coach also gives great breakdowns to the "why" we should do things certain ways.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Incredibly helpful!
This instructional has been incredibly helpful. The material is clear, and packed with information that I started using immediately.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻As a white belt, this
As a white belt, this is exactly what I have been looking for understanding the concepts around pinning and escapes, and how to real time diagnose what the problem is and how to escape.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Foundation For BJJ
Excellent video, in depth...but so much info. My advice for viewing is to watch the whole think, but pay attention to the fundamentals, not individual moves (you won't remember them). Then treat it like a textbook and refer to individual moves one or 2 at a time.

Great for beginners
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great stuff
Great instructions series
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Unpinnable
John Danaher does a great job going into great detail and explaining the science behind why his systematic approach works. I learned a lot of great fundamental concepts that I use every time I roll. It's always a huge compliment having some tough upper belts say you're hard to keep still. I have multiple John Danaher instructionals and always learn a lot.
