Another Danaher special! Admittedly it's heavy on theory, so it can be a bit slow and dry, but the emphasis on WHY you do technique instead of HOW let's you incorporate the material faster.
Great foundation for your takedown game
in this dvd John shows the fundamentals of standing takedowns. he explains things very thoroughly and leaves no stone unturned
This instructional covers the topic of TAKEDOWNS from top to bottom. Great buy!
awesome

Danaher doesn’t miss a detail. This is amazing for beginners, or advanced grapplers.
Great instructional on standing. With no background in Judo or wrestling, this is great to get the fundamental concepts in standing.
Unbelievably thorough. John Danaher takes you from standing to ground in a conceptual and practical way that is unmatched. This is a must have for jiujitsu players and wrestlers alike.
Excellent instructional for those without a wrestling/judo background providing lots of simple and effective options as well as some more advanced options.
This video is a great beginner's video. I had no idea what to do until now.
This is comprehensive on a wide variety of takedown methods. Super clear, just Danaher conveying the truth of the standing position, combining high percentage techniques from wrestling and judo, but adapted to a jiu jitsu context. Would highly recommend.
Great instructional on takedowns without a gi
Large amount of content in an easy to learn format
great
Awesome as always. Love anything Danaher. Complements the gi td Feet to Floor series well.
john Danaher is by far the best in the business worth ever cent.
Excellent stand up instructional. Well organized and very informative
Fantastic video. Breaking down grip, position, footwork and set ups. It will increase your success in securing more takedowns AND improve your defense as well.
Danaher videos are 👏�👏�👏�
Excellent video!
It's difficult to not show or talk about these techniques to people you talk to throughout your day once you know one or three...
This dvd make melearn a lot of good stuff about takedowns
Guys I filled one of these out. It's getting annoying when Im trying to watch amd this keeps popping up
great details to help non-wrestlers build confidence,skill and understanding of takedowns
Love it!
good
Well thought out and thorough
With huge emphasis at safety and posture due to dangers of headocks, kimuras and leglocks, Danaher and his Ukes will get you taking your opponents down in 4-16 weeks. This instructional is full of 'invisible' jiu jitsu which you will not be able to learn from watching matches, you need to hear and see it broken down to understand it. Excellent as always. P.S. I am going to train with you Sensei Danaher, just ironing out last details to get a visa to USA. Can't wait to learn from you in person. Best, Patryk
Never seen an instructional with such a depth, by far the best for takedowns in my opinion
As usual, Danaher's instructionals are diving deep in everything, both technically and philosophically. A thorough study of the these instructions guarantees a higher level of understanding, and a way more developed grappling game.
really good conceptual content on how to excel in standing
Great details to an important, but often neglected aspect of BJJ, the takedown and follow-up. John explains in detail many awesome offensive and defensive measures to attempting and completing the takedwon. Outstanding educational video!
This video is amazing and very detailed. I’m a nerd and I like the long explanation on why I’m doing what I’m doing.
This is a take good into wrestling instructional. Def would recommend
I only do nogi and wanted a good instructional
There's almost too much information and details. Amazing
Really great technique and practical applications from one of the best!
This helped me not be clueless on the feet.
After switching to No-Gi I felt a little lost in terms of takedowns, this instructional helped a lot.
Very good!
Pure gold! John will level up your game. He has a great teaching style and deep knowledge. Better than every wrestling instructional.
Great instructional. My advice, don’t JUST watch it. Treat it like a college course. Take notes and creat outlines for each video in the series.
Very comprehensive course
The detail is amazing!
Adds value to your stand up game and make takedowns count more!
Great instructional on takedowns. Includes great entries and finishes and important fundamental knowledge.
Definitely high level stuff you expect from Professor Danaher. For someone used to wrestling like me made me understand why some skill sets done apply to BJJ.
Changed my standing game.
Better than any takedown instructional on any wrestling site.
