• Best BJJ Drills Instructional

  I found Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes: BJJ Fundamentals – Go Further Faster by John Danaher to be one of the most detailed and structured BJJ instructionals I’ve used. The concepts are explained clearly, and the emphasis on fundamentals, framing, bridging, and positional survival really helped improve my confidence in bad positions. It’s especially valuable for beginners and intermediate practitioners who want a systematic understanding of escapes rather than just memorizing techniques. The instructional is definitely long and very detail-heavy, but the depth of explanation makes the techniques easier to apply during live rolling. The turtle escape section was particularly useful, and I noticed immediate improvements in my defensive awareness and ability to recover guard. Overall, it’s an excellent resource for building strong defensive fundamentals in BJJ.

  Great structured instructional. Puts everything into place. Lays down all the fundamental with all required details. I am planning to get the entire series now.

• Detailed instructions

  I like the way John explains a technique. He explains the reasons why a technique works and he shows it using multiple angles. The only drawback that I can think of is the explanation sometimes can be a bit too long.

• Gold! Gold! Gold!

  I reluctantly bought this due to me wanting to work on something more flashy and offensive, but I'm so happy I did, and went through all of it. You learn escapes, but it also has so much about offense. Start with this one! You won't regret it.

  Thomas M.April 19, 2026South KoreaVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Amazing Fundamentals!

  After hearing Danaher say in an interview his recommended progression through the fundamentals, I began with this course and intend to go through the rest of GFF (as a primarily gi player.) This is incredible information. It is detailed and deep. Danaher presents a framework for understanding the mechanics of the movements that he teaches. Highly recommend! I 100% intend to purchase and go through the rest of the series.

• Don’t pin me down

  A very detailed and systematic approach to surviving and escaping bad positions. John Danaher focuses on concepts, structure, and step-by-step mechanics that work against strong pressure. Best for intermediate/advanced grapplers—can feel heavy and technical for beginners.

• Danaher Gi Pin Escapes

  I'm a white belt with around 9 months experience. This instructional made it possible for me easily escape whites and blues in my gym, sometimes even big purples. I understand so many controlling positions and how to get out of them, what the main battles are etc. This is a great video, highly recommend if you want to stop getting pinned all the time in rolls.

  The first video every BJJ practitioner should watch.

• Great instructional!

  Another great guide from Mr Danaher, highly recommended.

  Leigh S.March 26, 2026AustraliaVerified buyer1-3 yrs training

• Danaher is the GOAT

  As expected a thorough investigation into escapes. Some people say that his videos are too long, but I find them to be the ultimate resource for full understanding of anything he teaches, and this instructional is no different. Filled with fundamentals and incredible detail, it has immediately helped to up my escape game. Highly recommended.
