Great course! thanks john Danaher and Bjj fanatics. When I discovered John Danaher I began the beautiful way of understanding the science of BJJ.
Well thought and structured! Loved all the concepts and the way they were explained.
First class material. The biggest surprise for me is how both seated guard and passing game can be improved be adding front headlock to your arsenal (vols 6-8). Besides, high wrist position when setting up any guillotine is a game changer!

A must have for mastery of the front headlock system!
I would usually get to this position and attempt to finish but would end up unsuccessful! After getting this instructional getting the front head and controlling my opponent has never been easier!
A very detailed explanation of extremely effective front headlock techniques.
My wife bought this for me. I love this position and have been trying to figure out how I can increase my finishing rate from chokes here. I didn't ever think I'd be hitting high elbow guillotines, but John explained it with such great detail that I'm now hitting them with little difficulty!
Great instruction to know front head lock from basic.
yes
Instance results!
Guillotines and related headlock based chokes are the weapon x in bjj and mma. You have guys like Charles Oliviera and other top guys who've been caught in them, despite being superior in bjj. Danaher covers every situation, choke, and detail for roughly 8 hours in this instructional. bjjfanatics discounts and rewards allowed me to get this far cheaper than I expected! for an instructional that's roughly 4x longer with 10x better material gou can't beat it.
I've continued to get instructional by instructional on bjjfanatics, starting with every one of Danaher's because no other is as thorough showing every possible situation and follow up along with what NOT to do that are vommon mistakes. Guillotines, darces, and anaconda chokes are actually what I hit most frequently in newaza at our judo club. ironic it's something I purchased later, the details in it would up my percentages ridiculously but here I was thinking I'm already decent at it so put it off. My only regret is not getting it sooner.
Great info.
I learned more than I expected. As an entry level no belt beginner, I just wanted to learn how to do front headlock. After watching the instructions, I learned the stand up game too. I learned more from Danaher than a lot of wrestling instruction dvds I bought in the past. Maybe my learning style fits his teaching style or maybe he has blackbelt in teaching.
It’s everything you need to know about the front headlock system
I love all of John Danaher’s instructions. Eve just watching will make you get better.
Professor Dahner is the most technical person out thier for BJJ. I own all of his videos and I am alway suprised how much info he provides step by step. Your a fool if you don't purchase any of his products.
Amazingly detailed and clear instructions. Highly recommended!
Love the details from Professor Danaher! This really improved my game!
Terrific
Being pretty new I never really utilized front headlocks as part of my game. Johns style of teaching and breakdown made it easy for me to understand the fundamentals and be able to apply them
Just like all of John's DVDs, this hits the mark perfectly. John does an exceptional job breaking down the anatomy and physiology of the body, thus explaining exactly WHY you do things the way you do. He provides you with the logic and rationale that leads to clean and effective technique. One of my favorite things about Danaher tutorials is that extra attention is given to teaching each technique from multiple angles. You are completely aware of what every single part of your body should be doing when executing. Amazing.
I am working through the program now and I have caught a few people already!
Great instruction, just pricey.
Excellent content and organization by the Master once again. My Third in John Danaher’s legendary SYSTEM collection behind Kimura and Back. Amazing on all levels. This product takes you through takedowns extensively, submissions, and of course theory. Great product, the price is well worth it! Get after the System.
As expected very detailed and thorough. Hopefully I’m adding a new wrinkle to my game while quarantining.
John Danaher is simply the greatest coach alive today. I also have his Triangle and Back attack system, they are fantastic as well.
Already owning 3 dvd sets. This is by far the one that has the most immediate results. If you have watched his back attack system please buy this one next. I promise anyone even if you were interested in headlock this dvd will change game and mindset. I'm not the grestest blue but I have taken every person back since I got this dvd including brown belts.
John Danaher ist a genius!
Great dvd
Couldn't ask for a more thorough video set! The best instructor there is.
I had great fun to learn the front headlock system and I’m eager to try them out. Before I watched the instructional, my approach was more force than technique.
Again, John Danaher takes a key position and breaks it down to some simple important principles and then application to some common scenarios. Another good addition to the BJJ library
Too much details, excellent dvd
Love the videos. Coming back from Corona smarter at least :)
Very easy instructions to follow. Please John always give an explanation as to why he uses certain grips, sweeps and chokes.
“Love the way Danaher breaks down various techniques,I have had his leg lock system for some time and reviewed the whole series 3 times—every time I find something I missed “
Excellent!
Fun technique and sequences.
Learnt heaps, thanks John!
Amazing
Deep arm guillotine is very cool.
Worth the $ Changed my perspective on the sport
I can't get enough of John Danaher's instruction. He teaches historical perspectives and concepts and, of course, lots of deatails. I am so hungry for why things work. John Danaher delivers.
