The reviews

• Game changing

  This instructional was a game changer. Turned me from a guard player to consistently being a top passing threat to every belt in the gym. Danaher’s teaching methodology in this one is very digestible, super easy to implement and still very technical. Highly recommend

• Excellent instructional series with immediately applicable details

  I’ve been training for over 15 years and teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu full time for several years. This instructional stood out because it focuses on concepts rather than just techniques. The explanations around creating initiative, engaging safely, grip fighting, and forcing transitions from seated to supine guard are exceptionally well thought out. The material is presented in a logical progression, making it easy to understand not only what to do, but why it works. I’ve already incorporated several of the concepts into my own curriculum and they’ve had an immediate impact on how I teach guard passing. Whether you’re an experienced competitor or an instructor looking to deepen your understanding, there’s a lot of value here. Definitely one I’ll revisit multiple times.

• WIN

  Aquí tienes una traducción que mantiene el tono analítico y profesional del texto original: "It’s incredible; it starts by explaining the fundamentals of movement and advances technically, allowing for a clear and highly analytical understanding of the art of passing the guard no-gi. This enables significant improvement and evolution for beginners, as well as an in-depth understanding for practitioners at any level.

  Danaher explains not just how but also the why. Many focus on how to do something but without understanding the why is often is not as sticky when going live.

• Outstanding Instructional

  Former wrestler tired of getting tangled up in guards after a takedown. This instructional is outstanding. My passing is probably twice as good within a matter of weeks and Im using way less energy in those exchanges. I'm not done installing the whole system into my brain yet so once I'm done I'm foreseeing drastic results.

• Pass Accelerator

  I’ve bought each of Danaher’s passing series and they are all great. I gained a greater depth of knowledge with each one. With this one, I felt like I gained a faster application and have been getting more and more passes.

  Jonathan N.November 20, 2025United StatesBrown belt16+ yrs training

• Excellent Breakdown

  This instructional is, like all Danaher instructionals, an absolute encyclopedia of the subject. You'll see all the passes from every angle, and almost every nuance covered. The reactions to all the counters, etc. If you master this content you're going to frustrate your training partners, for sure.

  Clayton J.November 4, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Great video

  This is a great video series. I think it will help you learn the basics of no-gi guard passing. My only concern with this series is the camera focus goes blurry at several spots. You can still figure out the move but it is annoying.

  William R.November 3, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBrown belt7-9 yrs training

• Fantastic

  Love the instrumental

  Ryan W.November 2, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Amazing instructional

  I've learned so much from just the first 2 chapters of this instructional alone. This really filled in the gaps in my guard passing fundamental. I know a lot of people don't like the deep, drawn out explanations, but I really like it. John doesn't just explain the moves, but also the why in the moves.
