Everything Danaher teaches is great. Very thorough and detailed guard passing for no gi.
Well developed concepts and strategies for open guard passing.
Again a masterpiece

this instructional highlights some points which came a little short in danahers passing before. the seated passing section is really good and there are new concepts like handblock passing and tripod passing which are very helpful. top 5 danaher instructional in my opinion.

easily to understand and implement techniques. Danaher explains the how and why of all techniques.
This is an excellent crash course style instructional on the most effective strategies in no gi guard passing. A complete but minimalist system. 10/10 would recommend.
if.you're. new tothe sport orhsve been practisingf or years, you will find. a lot of .useful information in this video. John's teaching style is much more polished. He's figured out that he's not presenting his theasus to groupof professors. Ther are a lot of techniques presented in a very clear way. This is a must have if you're looking to imptove your no-gipassing game.

Guard passing (No Go)
Fantastic course to immediately improve tour guard passing skills
Another excellent instructional. I've never been disappointed by Danaher's content.
Extremely helpful
He is so articulate and realistic on what he teaches. His perspective and concepts really are what changes your game. Because you learn the why and how before the techniques.
Excellent content that is succinct and to the point. I have other passing instructionals from John and his team, but this one seems streamlined and more in line with what you would see in a class format.
guard passing
Excellent content and strategy for improving at a rapid pace.
As always His instructional is masterpiece It strengthen my top game
I love these foundational videos. Learning to get into the right positions has helped my game the most. I love learning a new attack but passing the guard and getting into position has made the attacks that I already know so much more effective.
energy conservation when passing.
Fastest Way to Become an Effective Gaurd Passer
This instructional took my passing to another level. I have received complements from Black Belts on my passing. One even asked me to teach him and another guy how to do a certain pass because they hadn't seen it done the way Danaher shows.
awesome
I was very pleasantly surprised how much new material Professor Danaher continues to cover. Despite having watched his other passing instructionals, I still found many new techniques, or new details about techniques I had already seen.
great!
Awesome methods
Very nice instructional
Excellent maps for modern guard passing

This instructional is great and I want to quickly address my review title. I say this instructional is niche because it only focuses on the passing methods John believes are the easiest to learn in a short amount of time to see good results in a speedy fashion. Like his standing2ground and feet to floor instructionals, he isn't covering the entire ocean of techniques in the video topic (here guard passing). For example you won't get a lot of headquarters or inside hamstring passing here. Rather you get a gameplan from the perspective of a new student looking to get good at passing very quickly. This usually means funnelling your passing efforts into forcing and then passing the half guard, although other passes such as body locks, tripod float passes, and concepts such as camping and using mobility passes to take initiative and constantly threaten your opponents J point are also included, and in great detail. Overall this is an excellent and highly, highly detailed instructional as all of Danahers are. My only word of warning would be to anyone looking for a comprehensive guide to every style of passing, because this isn't it. You won't learn the ins and outs of every style of pass here, but if you're looking to get good quick, or otherwise if you've looked at the contents page and you already use some of these techniques and want to go into greater detail on them, I can't recommend enough.
This course is the real deal. Every second of this course is full of golden nuggets. I definitely saw improvements in my guard passing game.
a lot of awesome details in this instructional. usually Danaher videos are about 8-10 hrs in length but this one is less 4 hrs in total. this format is phenomenal.
open guard passing

First Danaher instructional purchase. Study coming along smoothly. Concepts are crystal clear. Will be passing guards in no time.

He covers all scenarios and gives you a solution for every situation
clear and concise
great
good
Amazing content, 100% recomended
Straight to the point, and good for anyone from beginner to advanced.
I have watched already the other guard passing videos from j danaher, but every time I learn new things or deepen my understanding. Main topics what I learned: half guard passing without underhooks, Tripod passing, camping theory and workload increase for opponent, refined body lock technique, focus on less but high percentage techniques, hand block pass, pop up pass, reverse scoop to counter retention from north south, high leg methods and much more...
Excellent intense focus on guard passing
