good dvd and very deep explainations to understand the basics movements.
Best BJJ solo drilling video out there! John Danaher has the knowledge of most important solo drills and shares it in easy-to-understand step-by-step instructions.
Excellent instructions and descriptions of movement, the videos offers details thats often missed in class.
Great breakdown and great details of the basics of bjj
excellent content especially needed for older grapplers to prevent injuries. thank you so much
A great addition to the set of Danaher DVD's helped fine-tune the understanding of these movements and gives a new perspective i.e (mindless warm-up drills to meaningful movements that will help during a live roll).
Excellent Instructional, detailed and practical. I was immediately able to apply theses drills and up my positional escape percentages.
Great stuff. John does a great job of breaking down fundamental movements that are essential for this sport. Very well explained are the techniques, but also concepts behind them too. I would recommend any of Johns works to anyone training BJJ.
This is a key to improvement for Brazilian jiu-jitsu I lack solo drills but since corona virus we do solo drills really important basics they teach
Wonderful set of videos while staying indoors during the lockdown.
Great details
Detail.
John does a fantastic job at teaching the fundamental importance of the fundamentals, adding more complexity and details to basic moves and positions I was previously not aware of. As a white belt, these lessons are invaluable, setting the foundation for my bjj game.
This training program has been instrumental to ensuring I am able to stay sharp with my movement's while away from the gym: by still training the mind and body. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to diversify their training.
Informative, and a great way to improve at home!
Already helping me and my family
a wonderful collection of instructional videos
An excellent tutorial on some of the basic core drills that can be carried out at home.
This would be an excellent video under any circumstances, but in the middle of a pandemic when we can’t help but train alone, it’s worth even more. Deep bow of thanks for putting it out free right now.
The man at his best yet again Thank you for the free download
Still learning something new everyday!
I really thought I understood these very basic movements until I watched this video. He explains a shrimping movement and demonstrates how well it works when properly executed. Mind blown by basics.
As usual, Danaher leaves no stone unturned. I also have his leg lock series. Thorough and detailed.
Very detailed & very useful, especially for anyone stuck inside during this mad time.
Absolutely brilliant content - not only the movements but the conception behind the movements. This is perfect for lockdown & i hope to be better when we get back on the mats
Perfect tool for being quarantined in your house!
Great instruction, I have found small details that I have left out, and it has improved many of my skills
As usual, this DVD is a gold. John pointed out the most important movements for BJJ and explained them in his typical fashion. I like that he implemented the Toes to the bar exercise, aka Hanging Leg Raise, at the end of the DVD. It is a great way to get a lot stronger overall. I would recommend to pair this with work from Pavel Tsatsouline and his Hard Style Abs program.
Helping keep me sane while I cant train.
During this period when the mats are closed, exercises help us to keep up the motivation. The drills are functional and the explanations are excellent. Congratulations.
Great solo training instructional. Excellent info for staying sharp during the shutdown. I'll be integrating the shadow rolling and strength training recommendations into my daily routine immediately. Many thanks to Mr. Danaher.
John Danaher is just an outstanding instructor
Great content!
I found John Danaher development in art to be the best bjj teacher in the world today
Well articulated instruction
Great stuff! Grateful for the support in this time.
Great also for a white belt like me, adding to my home workout ... watching the explanations also make me understand the principles better.
Excellent
All the warming drills we usually do get finally a sense and are well explained!
Great materials for a pandemic lockdown!
I've been doing these drills almost every day for a few weeks and am feeling great about getting back onto the mats when this covid has blown over. My core has already strengthened significantly by creating workout drills from these lessons, and my Turtle was also really bad before this and now I feel from drilling the session 2 exercises I have multiple options to stop opponents being able to take my back. The fact that this content is free is unfathomable. The great thing about this course is that during the downtime you the time to drill these exercises to an unconsciously competent level to implement in shadow sparring which I'm excited to be able to finally do. Thank you sir.
Very resourceful and professionally explained !!!!
Clear instructions.
I finally understand why I am doing the drills and movements I am doing and can visualize them in their practical application. Thanks!
Mr. Danaher gives excellent instruction in the fundamental movements of jui jitsu.
Enjoyed the John Danaher Drills found easy to follow and try out. Great price for good work out and great detail.
As always Danaher is the man. Wish we had instructors like him in my area
Extremely thorough background for the usefulness of the moves to be drilled. I am drilling with with more knowledge of the purpose of each movement and paying more attention to be technical proficient with each movement.
brilliant solo drills to help train during lockdown
Explains basic techniques so well and shows how to use them in a rolling situation
