Awesome instructional. Very detailed and effective.
Curso indispensável do John Danaher sobre conceitos profundos de estrangulamentos e controle das costas no kimono.
A Lot More to Turtle Than I Thought Excellent breakdown of gi strangles and attacking the turtle, with the small details on grips, positioning, and control that Danaher is known for. It’s definitely information-heavy and takes some time to digest, but at my age I’ll gladly spend extra time learning how to make someone else work harder while I just tighten the collar.
This video gave me the short cut the high percentage Gi chokes that can work from white belt basics till competition level The Turtle part is a MUST!! AN ESSENTIAL basics, it gives you a clear view of the strength and weaknesses of Turtle and how to attack that position I always miss understood turtle and never liked dealing with it , This video made me successfully control and Attack every time a guy Turtles during sparring.
amazing
Great product
"if you like getting strangled, you have issues." John danhashair
Very informative and insightful
John Danaher’s Strangles & Turtle Breakdowns is a profound reminder that mastery lies in the details we often overlook. While many practitioners assume they have mastered these fundamentals at white or blue belt, Danaher exposes how superficial our understanding truly is. He takes techniques we thought were "muscle memory" and deconstructs them with clinical precision, revealing the underlying mechanics that make them effective at the highest levels. This instructional isn't just a refresher; it is a paradigm shift that forces you to unlearn lazy habits and rebuild your foundation with a deeper, more conceptual clarity.
This instructional taught me how to strang every well. If I'm on the back now I'm pretty surtain I'll get the finish

How to actually finish your submissions!
Fundamentals important at every level
Amazing
John clarified what was a complex and confusing topic for me. He teaches what is fundamental and most important to focus on. This was a great help in my development. I highly recommended it.
Outstanding instruction with details and concepts that makes an immediate impact on the effectiveness of your jiu jitsu. It helped me get better as a purple belt, and I still refer back to it as a black belt before teaching classes to review the fine details that make these techniques work at a high level.
great details
Strangles
Professor Danaher's Go Further Faster videos are the best. I return to them time and time again when I experience a problem with my game.
I've got the entire Go Further Faster Series and would definitely recommend to anyone getting started in BJJ. John really helps you focus in on certain techniques and comprehensively breaks down why he's showing them.
Amazing, this was unique he breaks down with outstanding detail and simplifies the strangles to 3-4 best and most high percentage. There is so much waffle out there this was gold . Thank you John, thank you bjj fantastics
incredible details improved my strangles exponentially.
Great!
good
Another Great Instructional by John Danaher!
really helped with my submissions
Phenomenal content and instruction like all all Prof Danaher videos
So far it’s great. A lot of excellent material to go over but I’m never disappointed with a Danaher instructional
Great details
Danahers instructionals are the standard by which all others should be judged. Is it worth it? That depends on how important it is for you to be good at Gi chokes. The details here will accelerate your submission game in the Gi by years. Highly recommend this.
excellent explanations of all basics on these positions including attack and defense options
purchased this for the strangles and that part is great, but the turtle breakdowns are even better
I feel like this is one of the must have instructionals for beginner students who are serious about the sport. Both competitors and just people who want to master the basics.
The thouroughness of this instructional and the amount of details is simply stunning, all the while everything is easily understandable. Worth every penny!
excellent really good breakdown of choking mechanics and hoe chokes work together. Turtle breakdown good too
excellent instructional particularly enjoyed strangulation choke detail
very good methodical precise instructional basics to advanced. feally enjoyed this
Awesome. I have a background in wrestling and no-gi but I was struggling with the details to create powerful gi chokes and the back system he goes through on the sliding collar choke is gold.
Excellent instructional!
.
As always, excellent details from Professor Danaher!
