Amazing
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.
Very good material
various ways of passing from the top position.
Very helpful
This instructional creates a great introduction into the conceptual approach to guard passing. Tie this in with "The Fastest Way: Develop an unpassable guard" the consumer will develop great knowledge of top and bottom guard play
This instructional is a great compliment to developing an unpassable guard. Understanding both perspectives help flesh out a solid game.
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 is my go-to source for instruction. He covers the smallest details designed to give you a clear system to passing your opponents guard.
Excelente explicación de cada detalle del sistema, un sistema sólido y bastante útil en el deporte
Exactly what you'd expect out of Danaher - long, detailed, and thorough coverage of no-gi guard passing
Improved my passing game considerably, highly recommend.
muy bueno el tutorial
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.
Highly recommend this instructional. Tons of practical techniques, with just the right amount of detail. Faster paced than the entering the system. Instructionals.
