Glad I bought this.
No hay nada mas importante para enfocar la práctica
Clave la Verdad , lo primero y más fundamental para aprender
Very important insights and techniques that secure defence skills and give confidence for offense. As usual presented in an academic yet digestible way by John Danaher. A lot of the material is often missed in white belt curriculum in Bjj schools.
Awesome
Perfect foundation for becoming unpinnable
This is a must have if you are starting out on your BJJ journey.
Watching the videos right before training helped me get out of those pins that kept me stuck for too long. Now I’m on the attack
A PhD on escapes.
Great fundamentals broken down in an easily digestible manner
Great basics
Great stuff.
Before can no escape. Now escape good.
John is the best for a reason. He goes into great detail so that you can understand and perform the escapes effectively. A+
John is a professor, by the way he breaks everything down , this video is something I’ve been looking for , took a couple of purchases to finally find the perfect teacher for me . John Danaher is a goat
easy to understand and no one will be able to keep you down for long
It has been awesome! I have learnt a lot of key elements and details of this fundamental defensive technique.The escape of pins is a necessary skill for all beginners and advanced students. Danaher is the master!
Just like everyone has said, I’ve gained so much from these instructionals. There is a good deal of repetition to the material, but I think that might be what makes it great. Much of what is taught on the first 3 tapes is cemented by the next 3. And the end brings in new material, but holds many of the same principles. There is great clarifying detail to much of the small things that maybe a coach hasn’t taught me or that I just don’t understand well. The foot higher than the knee concept is going to sit with me until I leave the mats for the last time.
It helped me a lot to survive
I just finished watching this series on escapes and it has been by far the best instruction I've had in my short bjj journey. I have now simplified and made my escape game more efficient. If you're having trouble escaping any position, give this series a try! I love learning the theory behind techniques and John Danaher is now my go to! TAKE MY MONEY!!!
just unbelievable
pin escapes
Amazing, in depth and concise knowledge on pin escapes which helped me understand understand pins and how to escape. This series with out a doubt improve my game. Highly recommend.
Awesome instructional. Really helped me dial in my elbow knee escape.
John goes into amazing details and explains the why and why not... Really enjoying the course and the mistakes he mentions that people make are the exact same ones i am making while rolling... Only thing i would like added is what to do when you are executing elbow escape frame and you leave your neck exposed and your opponent goes for a cross collar choke. Thanks John!
If you can afford it, there is no other way of spending your money on jiu jitsu that is worth more than this instructional. If you have a decent enough attention span, you will realize that it is baffling how essential each detail he gives step by step here is. No black belt has been able to help me in matters this video has.
