Great instructional for an often ignored part of the game
Being older I don't practice the stand-up game as much as I should but this is a great video when you both end up on your feet and needs some nice tools to get it back to the ground quickly. The explanations are detailed and simple to understand.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Worth for the last two discs alone
Really enjoyed the last two discs of Ester Egg content - takedowns for self defense and overview of a single leg.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great for the fundamental of takedowns
This instructionl is excellent if you are a beginner in takedowns and want to understand the fundamental principles and techniques
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Changed the way I think about the standing game
Truly changed the way I think about strategy while standing. Clear and detailed explanations as always!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Specific for BJJ
I would describe this as a how to throw safely, as in landing you opponent in a position you can continue to capitalise on. Excellent
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:The way Professor John Danaher
The way Professor John Danaher explained things made me understood at a deeper level. Recommended to buy this even if you have done BJJ for a long time.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Very thorough and easy to
Very thorough and easy to grasp, with lots of aha! and the “light bulb turns on” moments
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Feet to floor: John Danaher
Such a broad area to study. It’s nice to finally have a path to follow instead of just a bunch of random takedowns that lead no where but to a scramble.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Feet to Floor Volume 1

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Feet to floor - John Danaher
Outsanding level of detail and technique selection for entry level or advanced
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Finally getting some work done
I can finally do some work against people standing. This helped me a lot. Goes through a lot things they dont teach in bjj schools
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Just what I needed
This is a very comprehensive instructional on getting your opponent to the mat in the highest percentage way possible without getting yourself into a compromised position.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Upping my game in take downs
I'm an old man and the take down game can be intimidating. This instructional not only gave me greater confidence, but also lived up to its promise in allowing me to perform take downs more efficiently and consistently amongst my peers. I love the amount of options Professor Danaher presents with the different scenarios.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Make them sweat on the feet!
There are 2 things that had an instant impact from the series. - Having a strategy to get dominant grips - Focusing on simple take downs that are easy and designed for BJJ (low back exposure and unlikely to get sprawled upon by a 200lb wrestler). The results were impressive: - Within a month I was surprised when I blocked a Brown belt judo guy's flashy throw and used a very simple and satisfying ankle pick to pop him on his back side. - In the last two competitions when securing dominant grips you could see the panic/frustration on my opponents faces as they were baffled by what to do next. Resulting in take downs for me, or such a poor attempt by my opponent it was easy to stay standing, leaving them on the floor for a quick guard pass. Both thanks to John Dahaner's approach to standing.
Skillful takedown class
We can learn his systematic takedown principle.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Excellent video!
Excellent video!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Amazing level of detail
Amazing level of detail that I have never seen on the standing position.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Put that annoying Judo expert in the class on his butt!
Great instructional by Professor Danaher! There are 2 things that had an instant impact from the series. - Having a strategy to get dominant grips ! Securing strong grips on your opponent that allow you to throw them but at the same time leaving them with febble grips meaning their chances of putting you on the mat are next to zero. - Focusing on simple take downs that are easy and designed for BJJ (low back exposure and unlikely to get sprawled upon by a 200lb wrestler). The results were impressive: - Within a month I was surprised when I blocked a Brown belt judo guy's flashy throw and used a very simple and satisfying ankle pick to pop him on his back side. - In the last two competitions when securing dominant grips you could see the panic/frustration on my opponents faces as they were baffled by what to do next. Resulting in take downs for me, or such a poor attempt by my opponent it was easy to stay standing, leaving them on the floor for a quick guard pass. My only criticism is there are so many great details, it's hard to remember all the variations of take downs. This series is one I will watch again and again to mine new tips and ideas.
Systematic and detailed
As always with Danaher, systematic and detailed instruction. Love the way it gives you clear guidance on what takedowns to focus on first and why. The strategy for gripping is very useful and often not taught this thoroughly.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Best Instructional for Gi Stand-up
Danaher's details and progressive instruction is invaluable to developing a takedown game. I can't recommend this more for practitioners that struggle on the feet, much like I did, and want to know where to start and how to progress.
