Excellent. Thank you so much for this
I downloaded the tutorial right at the onset of the virus and when most gyms and academies were forced to shut down. The breakdown, analysis and teaching of these drills was absolutely genius. He gets you to not just mindless go up and down the mat executing these drills, but think of concept and application with an opponent as you drill each one. I have been training for 8 years now and it was almost like watching these techniques for the first time because nobody had ever explained it like that to me. I will most definitely be buying more of John Danaher's videos. What a nod to the grace of the sport and utter act of kindness to make this available at no charge during such a turbulent time. Thanks again for producing this video.
Can’t get better than this.
Amazing!!!
Great instructional, lots of details
This product was amazing like everything else from bjj fanatics
John Danahar is a brilliant BJJ instructor. The technical level of teaching is at the Phd level. The way he breaks down and correlates each movement so that it can be used realistically is amazing. I will never look at "shrimping" as just going up and down the mats...ever again.
Very detailed and relates to live drills techniques well
Very good instructional
John Danaher does a phenomenal job of explaining in detail the warm ups done in class. Took lots of notes and made a home workout routine. It really is worth the time for a dedicated student.
Excellent material for these times
Great instructions for a time of need
These drills have been broken down so well to describe the true benefits of there real effects during the actual movement
You can never drill enough.
Excellent resource
Amazing drills that you can practice at home.
Excellent dvd
great
I’ve practiced Jiu Jitsu for a very long time and found many useful nuggets in this product. Additionally, I rediscovered many techniques that I had long forgotten. Thanks BJJ Fanatics!
Yup
Teaching one's own body to put natural and not so natural movements together is a badly needed tool in grappling. For some reason these drills are rare yet they can give significant yields to the serious BJJ practitioner. I could't be happier with this gem from Mr. J. Danaher.
I am a big fan of Danaher’s instructionals. Since this was a solo training instructional, I expected it to be less content dense but was pleasantly surprised. Not only does it show some great exercises for staying physically and mentally in shape while unable to train, it does a great job of providing the context in which they are directly applicable. As always, I also felt that I had a greater understanding of certain core concepts than I had previously had. Would highly recommend.
This is for you
If anytime you can't go to gym, you can use these great, instructional videos for your morning exercises in addition to those you do at your gym. Plus, Danaher is very insightful with the reasoning behind the methodology and the purpose of these drills.
I'm very new to Jiu Jitsu, and the COVID-19 shutdown started shortly after I began. I've only done striking before and wanted to get a more all-around game. Finding these videos came at the perfect time for that. If you're someone looking to build fundamentals and are kind of intimidated of going to the gym, or are looking for something to build your base, this will likely help. Haven't gotten through all 6 parts yet but hope to ASAP! Start with these free videos to see what else you can gain!
Detailled and Free release. Love it !
Good drills and good explains
Great stuff in these strange times.
Amazing tutorial, I am very fortunate to have been able to see it and for free. Probably the most import tutorial for any beginner. Thanks again!
Danaher at his finest
Excellent
Great stuff. Just because you are alone does not mean you can't train. This is being extremely helpful in these past weeks
Aside from laying out a good workout plan out of the mats, the effort to breakdown the movements and put them in a context of "shadow grappling", makes this instructional deliver much more than a simple physical exercise routine, but introduces a different approach to understand a think about jiu-jitsu.
This is a must!! If you can't do the drills on this series, you need to learn them. And the sooner you learn them the better.
Legit, Helpful Drills ,
this videos are great because John didn't just focus in some drills and excersises he went beyond and gave an explanation about why and how to perform de solo drills and explain it's conection with the real fight and the limitations of the drills. great material.
Great video that covers fundamental movements they may not have time to cover when you are in a group class.
Greatly appreciated how BJJ fanatics has been given the BJJ community awesome discounts on their products.
Excellent
These are movements that I never used playing other sports and they were somewhat unnatural for me at first. Working through the videos has helped me understand and implement movements that will undoubtedly help my jiu jitsu.
Sick, than you John and Bernardo for all you help. You've done a lot for the Bjj community.
Fantastic!!!
Very good video, good exercice to practice at home
Thanks 😀
The finer points of shrimping were a game changer
This has probably been said thousands of times already, but THANK YOU to BJJFanatics and John Danaher for this content! I no longer feel like I'm doing drills just to 'get my reps in'. The incredible detail, and demonstrations of where movements apply, will be tremendously helpful to progress my jiu-jitsu! Thank you all for keeping the BJJ community from stagnating!
Loved this instructional! Good practical content!
Really good for when you're stuck in the house with no training partner
Great instructional and for free would have paid for it regardless its that good.
Great video forbthe current situation
