Excellent
Loaded with content on everything you need to know about guillotines, darces, anacondas, etc. And it comes with an overarching philosophy of why we play the head locking game in the first place.
my fave
i absolutely love the front headlock in bjj, John has completely blown my mind with these concepts. Has helped me so much.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Classic John Danaher
What can I say. It´s John Danaher. My Game changed dramatically since I watch his videos! Every course is absolute gold and 100% worth it! Hope to get some others from the Daily Deals soon!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Headlock mastery
This is an excellent primer on the front headlock system. It is well explained and organized Any individual seeking to improve their front head lock game should definitely study the concepts presented in this instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great material
Thanks for the video and all the information I appreciate it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗A foundational necessity
I've had this video for years, and I keep coming back to it. It's great how it taught me things that helped me get started, but yet it has fine details that can keep helping you as you advance in your career. The high wrist and centerline shift concepts are ones that I consider foundational.

Amazing as always
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Front headlock instructional review
Highly recommend this instructional for anyone struggling with guillotines. I've never felt fully confident commiting to them in the past. However, the high wrist position shown by Danaher has helped change that. I feel much more confident in committing to guillotines now when the time is right. Also, several other head lock submissions are broken down thoroughly along with the position itself (i,e, back takes, go behinds,etc).

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Incredibly Useful
I was able to catch guillotines, but after a while, they stopped working. This course gave me the framework I needed to get back into making it a core part of my game.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗NASTY
As a wrestler, already used to using the front headlock, this instructional opened my eyes with every section. Danaher isn't lying when he says that his students can use any type of guillotine as equally as effectively as another. Worth the money
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Keep your chin up they said ...
WWJD!! I always respect an opponent who doesn't try to pull something sneaky off behind your back when your not looking! Very respectful approach of choking you right in front of your face! If its not for you, well you can always pass... but that' getting into the back story.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗awsome

Top Series. Must have instructions.
Great instructional by a professor
Great instructional by a professor at the top of the game. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for more options from the front headlock position!
Great instructional
I love front headlock stuff and this is the perfect guide
Unbelievable knowledge
Danaher is as thorough as always. I've taken my favourite submission to whole different level thanks to this instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Tighten up your choke!
Danaher is a master at delivering exceptional quality, world-class instruction in a very coherent manner. This instructional will clean up your chokes from the front head locks for sure! Thank you for making all of this information so easily accessable Danaher and those on the BJJFanatics teams!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Pure gold
Pure gold! John will level up your game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent details, could use more hand-fighting info
Danaher does it again, with easy-to-follow detailed steps to achieve the most shockingly tight darces, anacondas and guillotines. When I hit a darce or anaconda my opponents just die. I have a lot more difficulty following his steps to get guillotines from Kneeling Front Headlock - he doesn't give enough detail on how to hand fight against resistance. I've found it almost impossible to get to the high hand position he favors as a starting point, and so I often employ his go-behinds instead, which work perfectly. Even knowing that I'd absolutely buy it again,
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Incredible front headlock system!
The Front Headlock System is a game-changer! John Danaher's meticulous breakdown of this position is exceptional. It's a must-have for anyone looking to dominate their opponents with superior control and submissions. Absolutely brilliant!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Headlock the world!!
Great details that have helped my game immensely...
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻AS ALWAYS TOP QUALITY FROM JOHN
As always John's academic background shines through in his ability to convey information that is proven to work at the highest level.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great value
Great value ptoduct!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Henry Cejudo needs to watch this!
If Henry Cejudo would have watched this video he would have easily beaten Aljo Sterling for the belt. He had the front headlock position numerous times but didn't do anything with it. This front headlock system is simple and effective. Highly recommend.
Another top tier series
This is another top tier series from one of the best coaches in the world. Danaher applies his analytical approach to the front headlock. He teaches setups, takedowns, entries, and submissions from the control. It is a bit more dense conceptual, but it covers more areas than some of his other series which only breakdown a position or one aspect of bjj. This is a complete system in itself and worth every cent.
Head Control is a Must
The body follows the head. John demonstrates the intricacies of control to submission. His detail is flawless as always. This is a must have series.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Easy to understand and apply process
What I like about Danaher's videos is that he always presents a system, with clear goals in each stage, loved it!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent
The front headlock is an essential position to know for self defense and any grappling art, and Danaher has an excellent system for it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Helped me with a Missing Piece
Great instruction which helped me add a great component to my game!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Must Have
Will make you a head hunter.

Extensive and Excellent
Danaher always delivers. This is no different. Specifically, the high wrist concept on guillotines is a game changer.
