Very detailed!
Loving this series so far. So much mind-blowing details
This DVD is split into two parts. You get 7 and a half hours for Half Guard Passing, and 6 hours for Dynamic Pinning. Half Guard Passing has pretty much everything a beginner needs to know to effectively start passing top half. For more advanced students, there’s still plenty of details to observe. The whole instructional is very good, but his half butterfly section is amazing. The only thing missing are methods of breaking through frames and getting into upper body grips. Dynamic Pinning focuses on maintaining, transitioning, and otherwise effectively pinning your opponent. This instructional does NOT focus on generating submission offense from top pins. It instead focuses on effective point scoring and controlling your opponent through pinning. I would pair this DVD with John’s Half Guard dvd, his Guard Passing dvd, and Gordon Ryan’s Guard Passing dvd. For match footage to pair with this DVD, I would recommend watching Roger Gracie, Gordon Ryan, Rodolfo Vierra, and Damien Maia. Especially Roger, whom John mentions a few times throughout.
Thank for this series John 🙏� Extremely helpful so far
I am a black belt in two standup arts, and have 40 years of training off and on. I love the arts. The last six years I've been training online and through my studio (which I just had to close due to covid) in jujitsu, from many different sites. Several years ago, after being locked in closed guard by younger practitioners, I studied the many sites on how to break out. But the first 20 minutes of this series gave me a new perspective, although I've seen on other sites, as to the importance that John Danaher places on his way, and how his way comes from what the top practitioners are using in competition. I have not completed the first volume, but because of this information, I've purchased all of Danaher I could afford. I believe the perspective in invaluable, and I will improve in dismantling much younger and stronger "friends." Bring it!
