• Great Instructional!

  I like John Danaher teaching style if you like it too you can learn a lot about No Gi take downs from this instructional.

  Gustavo A.March 14, 2025United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Great for tall guys

  I'm almost 196 cm (6'5") and so sometimes its difficult for me to duck under the opponents arms. I like the upper body control and takedonws in standing position.

• Great way of breaking down the upper body game in BJJ.

  Jason W.January 6, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlack belt16 yrs training

• Upper body takedowns for jiu jistu

  This series is without a doubt the best I have seen for the standing position. Any one of the videos in this series would be enough for you to have a very good takedown game. Any two is even better. And if you have all three it is all I think you will ever need for a very long time. This is probably the most valuable one of the series if you are already very competent in wrestling style takedowns, but they are all very good

  Great detailed instructional, it has answers to many, especially when it comes to such throws as uchimata and latheral drops. If yo don't want to shoot for takedowns, this instructional is a must have.

  If you don’t like to shoot but want to improve the standing position… this is definitely for you. This became the centerpiece of my standing game.

• Good section for older/less athletic players

  Don’t sleep on this if you’re older/less athletic and worried about throws. Good section at the end just for us. Maybe get it on sale.

  Being an old guy with bad knees, single and double legs are not for me. This video is awesome and gives us a complete system to wrestle, even if you are not a wrestler. Thank you very much professor John Danaher.

• Excellent as expected

  Finally understood what's the reason for my uchi mata to work or not to work - after 8 years of BJJ and 10 years of judo. John's one of the very little people to really understand the mechanics of techniques. awesome!
