It cleared up several doubts I had and is being a good complementary study for my daily training.
John Danahers teaching style is superb. I enjoy studying the concepts.
have been pushing hard to improve escape ability with little success. after absorbing just the main escape concepts presented in the first few lessons, I've found noticeable improvement.
Great Overview of Pin Escapes!
thank you.
Nice details
everything John Danaher produces is the product of years of methodologies and practice. Learning from him in this manner is a gift and an honor
Definitely the first thing every white belt should watch
love it
This instructional was a game changer for my Jiu-jitsu!
Great content, very detailed explanations.
Danaher does it again with in depth and precise technical instruction that can't be beat
Very well spoken and detailed. With limited experience you can understand and see what Danaher is showing as fundamental to BJJ success.
So good, it should be mandatory for beginners. Absolute basics!
As a beginner, really helped
Great content as always
John has given a perfect instructional on how to escape and how to counter attack with defense.
Amazing material
Top material
As a white belt, I've oftentimes found myself pinned in various positions and have struggled to get out. In this instructional, John Danaher lays out concepts and techniques and elaborates on details that have made an immediate difference for me on the mat. I couldn't recommend this video enough.
Thank you for the absolutely solid pin and escape systems!
Very detailed
They say the best offense is a good defense and John Danaher does a great job giving you a lot of the tools you need to fight off of your back. There are so many nuances and small details that he is great at articulating. I find him to be hilarious at a few points and his methodical approach to teaching makes it very engaging.
John Danaher goes really in depth worth every penny
very%20thorough
I enjoyed this experience.
Excellent teaching
An incredible reviex, a Must have.
This has been a huge help for me as a white belt to get out of difficult position and give my higher belt partners a run for their money. Additionally, I feel more comfortable and confident to try things because I know I have a good escape game now. I have not yet absorbed everything because there is so much in there, so I'm sure I'll keep going back to this for many years
reviewing some fundamentals is great
As a newer (1 yr of training), lighter (145lb/66kg) grappler with no former wrestling or combat experience, I often find myself pinned in just about every position imaginable. This instructional has been a holy grail of information for me to learn about escapes from all types of positions. It has become a ritual for me to go to class, get smashed in a pinned position, and then come home and refer to this instructional to figure out how to escape that particular pin. There is a TON of information in here (as is the case with all of Danaher's instructionals), so feel free to pace yourself, take notes, and re-watch as needed.
Pin Escapes & Turtle Ecsapes
Awesome stuff, nice details that I've missed on my journey thus far.
Very easy to follow, a little verbose but that’s Danaher for you
This is great stuff
essential for beginners
Ive been doing Bjj for two years now, and this gave me more insight into the escapes I’ve learnt.
Great, in-depth explanations
An excellent Instructional, shows the basics in the detail that is needed.
Great, great information.
You just can’t beet the fundamentals John teaches in the Go farther faster series. Even if you roll mostly no-go like I do. This is the no frills fundamental skill and understanding every one needs from white to black belt. I highly recommend this instructional.
Good
now nobody can pin me, what do I do now?
Great stuff
excellent as always!
Always great technical skills shown by Danaher.
Danaher is the best. simple - clear explanations.
wish I would have really focused on this stuff when I was a white belt.
john is fenomenal
Easy to follow explanations for the how and the why of the movements covered in the instructional.
