I kept rewatch this video and I always learned something new combining it with other instructions.
really helped me with the small details
Great ideas for improving your technique without having to find a training partner.
I have been training for a couple of months and I did not understand the use of drills but now it's clearer and I do them better.Sorry for my english i'm from mexico .
John Danaher explains as always in a unique manner. This series point out the most important solo drills and explain the philosophy behind them.
While this is instructional was for free, it is amazing how much value you get. Sometimes life happens and you might not be able to put as much time in the gym with your mates as you would like to. But with this video, you can sharpen your skills with a lot of fundamental movements and techniques which will help your BJJ for the next time you hit the mat. Highly appreciated content powered by John Danaher and BJJ Fanatics! Keep up the great work
Great set of drills to do once away from your gym.
I love you John!
Good solo work for me to try speed up my progress
Dope content you can practice at home and it was free too
Kept my interest in jiu-jitsu going during the pandemic. Essential for times when you can't make to to the academy.
Great resource to help you with your movement and also a great warmup to get things moving before class.
Its free, you can do it by yourself, and its one of the best teachers in the sport, definitely worth a download.
Great free DVD that will teach you movements that will assist in a wide variety of your bjj. Pick it up and watch!
I travel a lot and I always thought how I can improve my jiu jiutsu away from my BJJ gym when I can not to train with partners. Instructional Video from Danaher is great solution for people who are able to train bjj alone. GREAT!
I liked how it was clearly explained and additional examples in action with a partner.
This is a great video to open your eyes to some of the key things your body should be capable of, and gives a great explanation at the level of proficiency needed. Not a very glamorous video, but all of these movements have been critical to my limited success in BJJ. I am very happy with this video, and feel that it would be well worth some $$$.
Perfect starting out point. And free!
The movements in this instructional, and the concept of shadow rolling, have changed my game! My training partners noticed.an immediate improvement in mt rolling.
Excellent breakdown of solo training required for constant improvement in BJJ
John Danaher is one of the best coaches I have found online. However, I should add he is not for everyone. Danaher can have long drawn out (but very detailed) explanations for everything. If you thrive with information overload I highly recommend John Danaher. This instuctional changed the way I warm up in calss.
Fantastic stuff.
Thank you for providing this. Really great information here!
Some times we can't make it to train, or maybe you would like to drill at home but don't have a partner ( like me ). Then this is for you.
I can not count the number of times that I watched this set of videos and still find them useful every time I step on the mat
Wonderful Exercises that will help elevate your game You will gain a lot of tools that will make your BJJ better I have got a decent amount of knowledge out of this instructional
Great
Ahead of his time
This video is perfect for building foundations of movement and maintaining mobility and flexibility. Can't recommend enough!
I cant train with partners while recovering from injury, but these drills keeps my mind on jiujitsu! Absolutely love it!
Very good when can't go to the gym.
Great explanation of basic movements.
Good drills and conceptual knowledge behind why we perform them!
Excellent for developing the motions, movements, and coordination essential for success in jiujitsu. You guys giving it to us for FREE is truly a blessing. Thank you.
What shadow boxing and bag work is to striking, this is to grappling. Great as a workout, warm up etc but still an opportunity to sharpen technique
Great material for times in which one needs to train alone. Well explained and good examples that show where an exercise can be used in a sparring situation.
Professor Danaher always puts out great products. Very articulate and thorough in explanation.
Great training while off the mats!
A great instructional to study when you cant train.
Something simple to do when you can't train.
I bought Prof. John Danaher's instruction for guard retention. He partly explains the concept behind guard retention likewise in this video. Highly recommend.
Danaher is a household name for the BJJ community. It’s amazing that this video is free. Thank you.
I wrestled for 13 years prior to starting jiu jitsu, so while I had some awareness and competence grappling a lot of the more basic movements and positions of jiu jitsu were new to me and were an adjustment. This video was a HUGE help for me going into my first few classes, not the least for making me feel more comfortable going through the warmup routines. This is definitely more than that though, John Danaher does a great job explaining why we bother doing these movements. What's the point of shrimping? When would I need to hip heist? He explains all of this so when you are just drilling on your own, which in my mind does make the drills more meaningful. There really is no downside to watching this, especially if you're just starting.
John is basically and amazing coach. The opportunity to get this article for free is just for everyone to get a small dosis of how good he is by explaining.
Great stuff. Absolutely worth it.
Best stuff in America!! With all due respect
Fantastic Instruction by on of the best instructors I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
Over the past year I’ve done hip surgery on both hips. This video helped keep me in practice and not get into a lull. Highly recommend!
This instructional gives both drills you can use and strong explanations as to how they help you. Strongly recommened.
Very efficient mobility tekhnique
