Excellent content! Now I can polish my skills at home alone!
this is a great learning platform
We all know how much John means to us in Jiu-Jitsu. While he may not be known for demonstrating solo drills over techniques, this is an excellent tool anyone can use to improve their game. It's nice to hear him explain the movements as he does so in a way where you can easily remember it once you apply the drills. Awesome stuff as always from John!
This instructional along with the pin escapes have improved my jiu-jitsu in a noticeable way. I love how John explains and I blindly recommend all his instructional videos. I hope I had knew all this before.
Professor Danaher shows the basics moves and how to train when you don't have a partner.
As usual, great Danaher stuff!
I got this at the start of lockdown, and did the workout three times a week. Looking back, it was one of the most impactful instructionals I've purchased (although I didn't purchase it, because it was free). These drills are a phenomenal building block for your development. They make learning Jiu Jitsu easier, and have direct application to your rolling. They're useful for BJJ and MMA.
What more could you ask for?!
Learning from the best
great video
It's free. I have been involved in martial arts since the late 70s. Solo training might be all one can do from time to time. Highly recommended for everyone.
great course
Incredible instruction for an even more incredible price!:hushed:

Danaher is incredible and precise with his explanations.

WOW. Picked this instructional up when the pandemic hit and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Practicing these movements and drills have helped me pick up BJJ way faster than I expected! Thank you John!
Price is great. Has a fantastic idea for a lite or active recovery day.
Great product for free
This is a perfectly designed course that will benefit everyone. BJJ Fanatics is doing a genuine service to the sport and it's practitioners by making it freely available.
John has a great view and eye for the sport. I'm excited to solo drill.
I used to weight 260lbs and hade little to not mobility. most of the exercises were challenging but I took it day by day. Now I weight 225lbs and mobility has grown by leaps and bounds. I will keep going with this system for along time because it works.
straight to the point, helps ( or helped me.) understanding the mechanics of the moves way better, also opens your mind into ways for training solo.
This is a great product. Even though we can train together again it has good things to use whilst I warm up on my own. Plus it's free literally no reason not to get it.
This DVD provides a deeper understanding of many of the basic movements of BJJ, as well as how they might apply in various techniques.
love the insight to his requirements regarding hanging leg raises.
Great drills broken down and feels like you and John are one on one
master the fundamentals
excellent
Where would I be without my Instructor and Bjj Fanatics?
These drills were exactly what I needed to help me improve my technique while I'm not on the mats.
Useful advice usually overlooked as it's not as exciting as submissions. And it's free.
Danaher gave us this for free during the pandemic. He didn't want the Jiu-Jitsu community to suffer. He loves what he does and wants people to thrive. Amazing coach and person.
I really love the way John explains things
Can’t believe it’s free!! Thank you 🙏�

Great t instructional on an often overlooked area from the master himself. Plus it was free - what more do you want?!
Very good
Very Good
very precise instructions
awesome
Anything Danaher is good enough for me. Great things to work on at home. Buy it and try it.
Having trained in a number of traditional arts, I've often found that the modern arts lack a specfic focus, or even hyperfocus, on precisely how to move. This volume seems to really cover that with regard to BJJ, ground work, etc. You'll find movement paradigms which are relevant across the board in different techinques, built within your average warm up you'll find at most gyms.
awesome
Helped improve my mobility at home and practice BJJ when i'm unable to make it to class. And it's free!
John is absolutely brilliant in this video as usual. We’ve all been shown three or four of these moves already but merely as warm ups. In this video we are shown how to actually apply them in rolling and why they are not being used to their full potential when only practiced useless as warm up drills. Finally some context! This should be lesson one for everyone.
Great way to improve when you can’t make your way to the gym !
Very useful strategies to improve at home
Very Good
What I like here is that there are real examples of every move shown with a training partner.
