Love this instuctional
excellent shows how guard retention techniques link so well. enjoyed the explanation of the importance of inside positioning in various positions.
the best coach in the business
just started doing No Gi classes after could years in Gi. this is bery helpful for transition.
Excellent instructional series intended to be the minimum system needed to have a difficult to pass guard. Breaks guard passes down into 3 different types and teaches you how to address all 3 with applications and techniques. Can't go wrong with Danaher instructionals and this one is another must have.

Au Top comme d'habitude avec John Danaher
Really valuable. I wish I had this when I first started. Very simple methods to not get buried on bottom time after time.
Helpful stratagies for maintaining and regaining your guard.
great details
This video series is the most distilled version of all the Danaher videos. This is a good place to start if you're struggling to pick one of his instructionals.
Danaher always points out the smallest things that make such a huge difference. It's crazy a simple change in head, knee, foot position makes all the difference.
I was hesitant to get this, especially since I've had my eye on Lachlan's anthology and Danaher already touches on guard retention in New Wave Open Guard volume one. However, he goes in depth on some of the most common guard passing scenarios, and how to stop it (even sometimes how to counter). And, I don't know if this is intentional, but Danaher is much more succinct in his presentation this time around. Part of the reason why I hesitated to purchase was it was a lot shorter than some of John's other work, and it's the same price. There's pro and cons to both approaches, but I really think Danaher nailed this. I'm especially thankful because my schedule is a lot busier than before, and it's hard to find time to watch instructionals. This being shorter is actually a major pro for me. Highly recommended.
