Simple. Effective. I started hitting single legs after one week of watching
It is what you would expect from john. Clear, simple and effective. I started hitting single legs on folks at my gym after the first week! Love it
Video and instruction is top notch. Only complaint is that you do not send a dvd for it. Having to be online and never getting the dvd anymore really restricts the amount of sales you have.
great overview for a relatively novice practitioner that didn't spend his high school and university years wrestling.
Really great and streamlined system to build one's stand-up game from scratch. Highly recommended for those who wan't to understand why's behind the wrestling techniques and do not have much experience with takedowns.
Systematic
hervorragend Technik und Beschreibungen
Good stuff!!
technisch exzellent und auf das Wichtigste heruntergebrochen
Love the tips on first engagement the opponent. Super helpful for guys that aren't young and athletic.
Very realistic and well structured approach to build one's takedown game from scratch, especially for those without any wrestling or judo experience.
In depth and long, but focused at the same time. Improved my takedown game.
Love it!
No-Gi Takedowns were the absolute worst part of my game. I left a gym with a heavy hi emphasis after a move to a no-gi only gym (the only one for hours). This instructional helped me to understand my goals and tie ups to actually become proficient in basic takedowns.
You're never pulling guard after watching this
The best way to learn the standing game fast.
Excellent no gi instructional for anyone learning standing position from white to black belt! This is Danaher's version of the simplest complete system for standing. Simple but deadly effective!
game changer
As advertised. Goes over effective takedowns that are easy enough to learn, and relatively low risk. Does a good job connecting takedowns, like transitioning from a single leg to getting an underhook and doing takedowns via that underhook.
This has taken my nonexistent standup game and given me at least a few options. Great for beginners to wrestling/BJJ standup
This is the type of coaching I’ve been searching for. I don’t have a wrestling background so I’ve always known I was missing a lot of basic concepts. This video helped me catch up to speed pretty quickly
One of the best insturctionals.
Danaher has done it again. I'm so happy at the ever-increasing quality of his instructionals. It is so well organized, well explained, and easy to understand. I am also thrilled about the level of depth regarding simple, fundamental moves. Worth every penny (that I bought for half-price anyway)!
If you don't know how to wrestle this is the video for you. John does a great Job at explaining the concepts that are important to wrestling. I'm about halfway through, and it's a video that provides great detail into various ways to execute a high single leg and some other great takedown strategies. I'd highly recommend it.
Great overview of how to think about the stand-up side of BJJ
This is the best takedown instructional ever. It's a compact summary of all the takedown instructional that Professor Danaher has released so far. You should get it.
This is exactly as advertised. No fluff, just concepts that will help you make significant progress in a short amount of time with adequate practice and application of the concepts taught here
It is time to up the game � This is the GOAT standard what do you need this Days. Explained in a way easy to Understand
Improved my standing game
Good ****. Brilliant instructor.
Danaher providing details like noone else. Sometimes a bit repetitive but great content.
I have reviewed this instructional a few times and have tested it a lot of the techniques. It is worth it.

If you are a serious competitor you need this.
For those looking to get to grips with fundamentals of no gi stand up, this is perfect. It’s mostly about the single leg takedown but covers how to set it up, what to do when it fails and important fundamentals that I was getting wrong.
Danaher is my go to instructor. And his new dvds suits me well. Easy to understand and adapt
It's been awesome implementing even the basic sections of this and seeing immediate feedback with myself and the guys I train with. It's wild how effective it is early in practice.
Some of the most effective techniques
Good instructional
Greatly helped my takedown game
John is simply the best teacher
I have all of JD's standing instructionals...They are all great but this one really ties them all together, in my opinion, because it takes a lot of what is in the other ones and organizes them in a flowchart that is very easy to learn, yet super effective. Ever since watching this and studying it, I am never confused on the feet and always know what I should be doing and what my goals/options are from every situation. This instructional does exactly what the title promise.
Got to love JD's almost scientific approach to teaching bjj, the way prime numbers are like bricks and composite numbers walls in mathermatics John breaks the game down into prime numbers then carefully and methodically rebuilds the wall brick by brick, showing students not only whre each brick goes but why it goes there.
Best Standing instructional I've seen.
Another great instructional from the GOAT coach! Highly recommend, made an immediate impact on my game!
Thorough explanations from one of the best coaches. Will get far with only studying this.

A comprehensive encylopedia of improving in takedown skills. Even in a no-gi context it is still suited very well to apply these concepts in the go.
great content!
