• The Fastest Way: To Develop An Unpassable Guard

  Making My Guard Harder to Pass One Sore Hip at a Time One of Danaher’s more practical instructionals, with a great systematic approach to understanding how your guard gets passed and how to stop it before things go downhill. There’s plenty here that takes drilling to become automatic, but for an older grappler like me, learning better positioning and retention beats trying to out-scramble someone half my age every time.

  Johnny D does it again! Just when you think you don't need to learn more you take a chance and shows you just how wrong you were. He completes my game further and further each time and gives me confidence that I'm doing things the correct way.

  This video is an excellent way to start off your BJJ career with a game plan for guard retention. As you grow, you can always add to this, but this is a good foundation for no-gi BJJ.

• Amazing instruction!

  Absolutely love how simply he breaks down positions and moves. It isn't just learning an algorithm (if this, then that) but the concepts and reasons behind what you're doing. I have learned more in the few minutes of watching this video than in the 6 months I have been training in class.

  Great combination of general concepts and theories, as well as specific situational concepts. Very helpful for connecting the dots, and obtaining a better overall understanding of guard. Seems applicable to advanced practitioners as well. I prefer to watch on 1.25 or 1.5X. Highly recommend this instructional.
