• Pin escapes review

  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.

• 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.

• Great instructional!

  Another great guide from Mr Danaher, highly recommended.

• 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.

  Robert K.March 24, 2026United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Encyclopedic!

  Danaher's knowledge really shines through in this series as the absolute bare bones fundamentals. He opening acknowledges that some of these techniques won't work with higher belts but he argues that these are fundamental moves that help with lower belts and with understanding how to even move to set yourself up for the more advanced moves. Some audience might find his explanations tedious and repetitive. And I will admit that it is not always the most exciting material. But the explanations are in-depth and insightful. I have already implemented some of his techniques into my training and have found them helpful. Definitely a game-changer for me.

• White Belt

  It’s really hard to deny how great this course is for a beginner. Been in too many BJJ schools where they don’t teach this methodology and have you hip escaping up and down the mats for 10 mins. Would highly recommend.

  Conor M.February 9, 2026United StatesVerified buyer

• Solid Fundamentals Instructional

  Although long explanations and theory can be boring for some people, i really like the depth of Danaher`s videos. Defenitely suggested for beginners (white or blute belts), or maybe even higher belts who have a difficult time escaping from pins in general. It is likely that not all techniques will suit you, but you should defenitely practice all of them a bit and then pick maybe 2 for each pin.

• Great Place To Start

  As a white belt just getting started I found this instructional to be a great entry point. It's a good overview of defensive concepts as well as how to escape the most common pins. Very practical for anyone first starting and often finding themselves stuck in a pin without knowing how best to proceed.

• Must get

  Jon Danaher’s course is exceptionally well-structured and easy to follow. He breaks down complex techniques into clear, logical steps that make sense for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The attention to detail, emphasis on fundamentals, and focus on why techniques work not just how set this course apart. If you want a deep understanding that actually improves your performance, this course is absolutely worth it. There’s a reason he’s the best !

• I am getting tired from trying all these pin escapes

  Very good. I have just begun to study these techniques. I am using them on my training partners at the gym but I haven't gotten good at them. I plan to focus on these pin escapes for a while. Unique theory of pin escapes that gives me options even when I can't identify exactly what pin the person is using. I have escapes for the standard positions but people who are really good at pinning tend to use non-standard pins.
