Must have
The Danaher system focuses on the original philosophy of BJJ. First become indestructable, then become unstoppable. This instructional is great but I wish there was one specifically for gi as well.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:One of the best and most important: Plus it features ADCC Champ Giancarlo Bodoni
I think this is one of the most easily accessible and useful tutorials for all levels. I have many Danaher/Ryan videos, but this one I wish I would have had the most 10 years ago. I have learned more in this instructional than in several years of (admittedly intermittently) going to BJJ classes. This will save you so much time, as it will allow to keep flowing through the moves and attack. It teaches you how to get out of pins, so you do not lose time being frustrated on the mat. As always, you will learn some new words with JD (Satisficing, look it up, it's a word!) and some great concepts. For an athlete at any level, I most highly recommend this, the back attack, the guard passing by GR and then all the others. Even as this feeds into the leglock system, i still think it makes sense to watch this first.
Confidence in attacking
A supremely brilliant instructional as always by Danaher. Learning the concepts in this series will give you a boost in confidence when it comes to attacking as you won’t fear FAILING an attack because you’ll have the recipe to escape the bad positions if you do.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Amazing Product
This instructional has completely changed my game! Its is an absolute gem and well worth the money.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Fantastic kipping escape details
The kipping escape is without a doubt the most reliable mount escape, but one that I've struggled to execute without the details in this instructional
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Customer Service
Excellent customer service; had an issue and they responded immediately, and even checked afterward to make sure I was able to use my video. Will continue to use this service!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:This is what you need first.
I would recommend that to every beginner who starts his jiu jitsu journey. The most important skill is to be confident in your defence and to get out of everything your opponent gives you as task. One of the best instructionals ever. High perecntage usage of all the moves
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:easy to remember and use concepts, perfect for beginers
As a white belt, I feel that it's a perfect way to begin and fast track to a solid game with J Danaher clear cut explainaitions and logical concepts, sequences that are easy to remember and try right away in the training room.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Another Epic Escape Series You will get back to Offense
I have the Pin Escapes Course by John and you think he gave you all the techniques. Think again. I have been honing my game with counter attacks. I have made my oppenents not attem[t certain attacks because I get out of them. I have to thank John. You first few years in Jiu Jitsu can be miserable when you don't know how to escape. This will help you not get smashed on the mat repeatedly. This is something you need. You can hear his voice as your getting attacked. The lenghtly explanation is worth it.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:John Danaher New Wave Position Escapes
I quite literally use every move I've learned from this instructional in my daily rolls. this has, no joke, completely transformed my defense. I get escapes much more easily now because everyone is afraid of being attacked if they don't bail on the position.
