Best purchase ever
buy all of his stuff folks
Excellent half-guard instructional. Very detailed explanations. Techniques can be incorporated immediately
Are you a little older, a little slower, maybe not as strong and agile as you used to be? Well here is the solution for you. The half guard is the perfect position for us older players. This instructional will change your game 100%. Everything you need to know about the half guard is coveted in this excellent instructional. It is literally so good I am using this chapter outline to structure my classes. Every step is covered from offense to defense. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy just straight forward instruction. You will be amazed with the results.
Details are so good you can interpret good ways to pass against half guard as well.
If you are serious about becoming a better grappler, this is a must have.

so glad I got this
This has been great for me as a white belt. I love the way it links up with John's other instructionals so that you been selectively build a gameplan.
After watching this course several times, I have grown to love the half guard position. I find myself working more from half guard now more than any other position.
I've always used my strength and size to dominate half guard, this series changed this!
Very detailed and easy to understand approach. Covers lots of foundational problems and have already started to see the payoff when rolling.

You will feel like Neo looking the matrix
As a fairly new white belt I appreciated the thoroughness of his explanations
Danaher is a master. If you get this video, study the material, and apply it to your game…. You will get better. Period.
Danaher is a master!! Very happy with my purchase! I’m adding this to a growing collection (pin escapes, guard retention, and now Half guard bottom)
This is a big reason half guard is my go to guard! That and I have short legs!
Best harf guard solution
As always JD's videos are as good as it gets
Always greatly detailed and lots of information. Great material for all with plenty of tools for all belts.
As ever, Prof. Danaher’s presentation is tremendous. He explains the broad overarching approach in his introduction overview and then dives into the details and explanations in tremendous detail. As Must for any half guard player.
It’s so much more than fundamentals
As with all of his instructionals, Danaher puts out solid information. Sometimes he can be a little long winded, but he's giving details that are important to the techniques he's teaching. Cool Easter Egg in Vol 6 of this series towards the end- Danaher farts and blames it on his training partner. Guess he's human after all.
