This is an amazing instructional for developing your foundation of guard passing understanding. It covers a variety of guard passing strategies, and gives small variations within each style of pass. I will say the bodylock section was a little confusing, Danaher talked about the proper stance in a bodylock but when explaining the variations of bodylocks it didn't look like he used the stance. This led me to having trouble implementing it. The section with hip switch passing (sit-out is what he called it), was an area I also had trouble implementing. The section was much clearer than the bodylock, but I was having a lot of trouble successfully entering the position. Danaher only gave a small note on entering the position. The other areas of the instructional was very good, and I think this is worth a buy. I find myself constantly coming back to this instructional to refine the techniques.
Great
The amount of knowledge packed into such a short time is amazing. From being mediocre at passing to teaching passing classes in 6 months to seeing my students pass guards in comps effortlessly.

This is a must-have instructional if you are a beginner!
John just gives the best structured instructionals, that really take you through all layers of the topic. Would recommend
The level of detail in Danaher’s teaching is ridiculous—in the best way. He doesn’t just throw techniques at you; he builds a complete system that makes everything click. If you like a methodical, step-by-step approach, you’ll get a ton out of his instructionals.
great concepts, clear instructions, excellent explanations
