Danaher pin escapes
this has helped a lot my during my white and now early blue belt journey 😄
Excellent detail and easily understood. Foundational knowledge.
Been doing jiu jitsu for 3.5 months now. Admittedly, I was having trouble taking in all of the information - there's so freaking much I didn't know what to focus on and in real time it can be hard to think. However, watching Danaher teach and then trying to apply the principles in class has significantly sped up the learning process. Highly recommend this course. Fundamentals, a great defense, and continually showing up is the path forward. It is not easy, however, worth it. And this course will help you separate yourself as you put in the time studying.
Excellent detail and easily understood. Foundational knowledge.
If you want to make a BLUE belt - you NEED to OWN the defense. This will ensure that. It helped me immensely and still go to it!
Great instructional for learning escapes, which are crucial at all levels, but especially for new folks! Even for the techniques that every gym teaches quite well (e.g., hip escapes from side control/mount, bridging escapes from mount), there are incredible details here that make those escapes much more effective! Danaher also covers a range of less conventional escapes, which provide additional options (e.g., shoulder roll escape from side control [rolling away from your opponent, seemingly exposing your back] and the high leg [which gives a brief opportunity for an armbar from bottom side control]).
elbow escapes. so many intricate details that make all the difference. it's timeless and I couldn't recommend it enough.

This instructional is a must have for all BJJ athletes. It is critical for White Belts who want to understand the fundamentals skills, knowledge, and principals of escapes/defensive BJJ.
It really helps to develop my escapes with efficient techniques
This has helped me to escape several pins over the last few months. Brilliant instructional.
Side control elbow escape is good
My experience is really good with this product. Unless you happen to have access to a fundamentals class that really gets into details, it's likely there's a lot of assumed knowledge. It's on you to do the research to find out what a lot of the terminology means when you first start BJJ. Instructionals like this are an incredible asset for developing an understanding of key terminology and skills. Let me say that again, instructionals like this are an incredible asset for developing an understanding of key terminology and skills.
Great video! I highly recommend it for everyone.

Easy to understand

Since watching these videos, my escapes have been on a different level. They have a great explanation and are easy to understand.
Extremely in depth explanations of every conceivable aspect of escaping pins. This style of instruction will probably land best for those who prefer to learn through spoken language. It may sound long winded for those who don't, but personally this style of instruction is very relevant and effective.
This is the instructional which I took to start my bjj journey, couldn’t be more satisfied with the extensive and in depth guidance of John Danaher.
I love his explanations and breakdowns. The teaching style may not be for everyone, but there are nuggets of information everywhere in this instructional. Would highly recommend
This really helped me understand basic concepts on how to survive. Would recommend to anyone who starts out. Listen to it in 1.25x speed because the explanations are a bit long winded
Being a white belt, the first things I need to focus on first are escapes. John is thorough in and detailed in explaining the concepts and moves needed to escape. This has been so helpful to study between classes.
