exceptional content like all other Prof Danaher videos
This is great for developing an anti-wrestler game
good details
Excellent Instructional Video
John really helps you focus in on certain techniques and comprehensively breaks down why he's showing them.
Danaher’s teaching methodology, rooted in his academic background, has transformed the way martial arts are taught. He has elevated it from mere martial arts to an academic discipline. Every word he speaks resonates like a line from a philosophy book.
Great details
Great details.
Good style. Doesn’t work for everyone brown belt or higher. But good place to start.
really improved my anaconda chokes
The best
I have a few videos from this site on headlocks but I new I needed a John Danaher perspective before I could say my collection was complete. His videos are top notch
deep dive into a really good subject. very useful
Great instructional
Exhaustive dive into the front headlock position
Great instructional by John Danaher on Front Headlocks.
As always John found a way to add nuance and detail to seeming simple submission. Well done sr.
Great course by John Danaher. A very well thought out explanation and development to learn step by step the art of grappling
front headlock system
Really great video with a bunch of variety. Feel like it has already improved my game.
Amazing instructional. Huge game changer and instant success.
He make me feel like I know nothing about anything.
Danaher courses are always full of details that coaches either overlook or forget to relay to the class.
As usual - it does not really goes better if it comes to teaching. The level of details is as usual outstanding.
Love it!!!!
great dvd as usual. can't recommend John content enough
very useful for getting in position for headlock and snap downs in general
Great instructional, great details on submission mechanics and Johns thoughts on the front headlock position as a whole helped me with my game. This instruction is worth it to me.
There are so many details on this instructional, it's impressive!
A complete and very detailed guide!!
A complete and very detailed guide!!
10 out of 10
And go back to it again and again whenever you want
A must have instructional. The guillotine is the second highest percentage submission so this is a must know system.
Great video
Bought at white belt and came in subbing people day after I watched, still learn every time I come back.(and I always come back)
The high wrist series alone is worth the price. All guillotines are essentially the same mechanics when you understand Danahers concepts. High elbow, low elbow, arm in guillotine are just how you configure your non choking hand based on your opponents reaction. Genius! I went from never getting guillotines to getting bored of them in 6 months with this instructional.
Being able to effectively attack the head keeps people from just keeping their structure tight and never extending limbs. This series teaches you how to systematically attack and submit or control from the head. An essential part of a complete game.
A systematic approach to a position I constantly find myself in. No one does it better than John
The front headlock opportunities are abundant and no game is complete without their proper execution.
fantastic
Tons of important details!!!
I didn’t really use the guillotine much before watching this, it may not be my favourite technique but I make more use of it now
Danaher's front headlock instructional has made my submission rate go up soo much. So worth every penny. If you want to get better at hitting subs from the front headlock, get this instructional
Great breakdown of front headlock philosophy
if
knowing the different types of headlocks that are possible
Great video series
thanks to John's finishing mechanics with a mounted anaconda this helped me win a final!
JD delivers as usual. Very good Front headlock materials
