I've been looking for an in depth explanation of how the carotid artery strangulations worked and wasn't disappointed.
This is a good instructional. I hope John Danahers partner got paid well for his time. He gets choked repeatedly and looks like he’s having a miserable day 😂
of course very solid instructions.

John does such a great job at giving you an overview, mental roadmap and system to use for any subject

With all Johns stuff this has so much detail you need to watch it multiple times to get it to fully sink in, I rate all of John's instructionals!
Ive always leaned towards the chokes from front headlock/turtle when i was a white belt. But now that im a little more mature in my jiujitsu career im realizing not everything is some spaztic, transition battle. After watching the first two volumes of this series my snap down game has improved and my guillotine success rate has also. Its an amazing, yet basic, control and submission system. I understand why Danaher said ALL of his students must learn it before moving on!!!
simply amazing mechanics demonstrated
great instructional! use it over time! don't cram!
easy to implement. High percentage
Well organized and goes above and beyond anything I’ve seen to distinguish itself on details of the front headlock. Couldn’t be more pleased with the presentation.
Excellent understanding of the most common headlock holds and strangles.
Wrestling in a way Jiu Jitsu practitioners can apply quickly and effectively.
A comprehensive examination of front headlock from standing, kneeling, guard, and passing guard. From headlock basics to advanced application, this is a complete system of front headlocks!
critical details Anacaonda choke
John does it again. SO many details, so much more than most of the other videos I own on this subject. Great stuff for people whose wrestling is not great.
It's all in the details and John Danaher delivers!
Massively changed my D'arce and Guillotine game.
got 2nd because i wasn't able to finish an elbow in guillotine in my first ibjjf open

if you're not using the front headlock you're just not keeping up. Danaher does a great job, as always, at breaking down the material. it's clear and concise and great material for teaching, too.
very useful
always appreciate Danahers details
Good instructional
he breaks down all the guillatines soo clearly
John Danaher
lots of amazing content
Finally know what to do once i get in the front headlock
As usual John danaher never disappoints. Every time I buy one of his instructional’s my game gets drastically better.
Explains the frontheadlock from getting into the position until the tap. Great amount of detail and easy to follow.
One of the best instructionals I've ever watched and drilled.
now stop spamming me to write a review
As always, an excellent masterclass from John Danaher. Lot of details and a complete system !
Another great product by JD!!!
This video has helped me a ton better understand how to utilize head locks for takedowns and finishes - highly recommend for people like me who **** at wrestling but still want to take people down
As a beginner i found this very helpful to build up my basic understanding of positions, instructional did exacxtly as it was suppose to just need the skill to impliment the teachings now
This series has opened up my game in ways that I wouldn't have guessed possible. Now that I am able to threaten the neck in many different situations it has opened up so many more possibilities. When your opponents has to defend their neck they are always giving you something else to attack. Awesome series
Another great system to elevate my grappling.
Great details to get the submissions I used to miss out on
JD never fails to impress. So many great details.
