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.
great
While you're at it, buy the rest of them as well. There is a treasure-trove of knowledge pack in each instructional. Your BJJ game will thank you =]
