Great instructional
Danaher is very good at breaking things down to their fundamental parts. This instructional has made me much more comfortable in these positions.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Escape!
Great overview and deep dive into escaping many of the most common and high level submissions
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Awesome knowledge
Finally I can mitigate getting submitted with a clear goal and step by step system. Mr. Danaher's escapes are really saving me during sparring and giving me the offensive confidence to go for submissions because if it fails then I have the confidence to escape. Great content as usual from a great mind. This instructional is a must have.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:An iron defense will make your offense skyrocket. Beginners start here!
Wish I would have focused more on pin and submission escapes at earlier belts. Great instructional with key details to effortlessly escape.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:AMAZING VIDEO
This is a great video and goes over everything from more beginner-intermediate techniques and goes over advanced techniques all really well
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:new way of thinking
A great new way to think about escaping submissions. I've just been trying to stay safe, now I can see counterattack options.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Legit
I'm on part 7 out of 8, and have some drilling to do to ingrain some of these, but already I'm getting subbed significantly less. The leg lock section in particular, which I haven't finished watching yet, has made a big impact. I used to be afraid of leg locks, and not really know how to escape, but now I'm letting people enter into my legs, and only really proficient leg lockers are submitting me.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Top of the foodchain
John Danaher really already brought a big change into the Jiang Hu, started with his leglock system, but who would have known that he reteaches almost the whole game by now. The only thing one can say by now ist Thank God Mr. Danaher is making these instructionals and please make New Wave Jiu Jitsu instructionals for the gi, too. ❤️️
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:JOHN DANAHER’S NEW WAVE ANSWER TO SUBMISSION ESCAPES!
Worth every penny. I learned so much. You get to learn how to escape armbars, triangles, front headlock, and tons of leg locks. He even teaches you lots of counters including many heel hook positions/submissions. You will get tons of value from these videos. I plan to come back to them for years to come.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Danaher is one of the
Danaher is one of the most amazing teachers out there every series I get ( and I have a few) I learn so many new details about techniques that I have learned in the past

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Required Learning
In my opinion this should be required learning for everyone.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great course, JD is a
Great course, JD is a legend and anything he says will always be trusted and understood
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Dr Danahers philosophy of pin escapes
Professor/teacher Danaher lays out a espectacular instructional were all the concepts that I had problems with were resolved ( at least on a theoretical level haha). I can’t recommend this instructional enough, it will definitely change your game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Got most mileage out of this.
I have no official gym, but I have different circles of friends from rival gyms. I definitely surprised a lot of different practitioners of different ranks with what I learned from here.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Leave Them Scratching Their Heads
If you buy Danaher, you can't go wrong. This treatise contains the depth, clarity and thoroughness that we have come to expect from John Danaher. Study and practice these concepts and techniques, and you will become an extremely tough nut to crack.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Suberb
Incredible in depth explanation on how to defend but more importantly re-attack after defending. High quality audio plus video.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:New Wave Jiu Jitsu: A New Philosophy Of Submissions Escapes by John Danaher
Excellent!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Harder to tap me now
Having a great offense means to take risks, in order to takes risks you must be confident in your defense. This instructional has really helped to built my confidence in the worst spots!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Must have
Another instructional from J. Danaher. Always the same result: :top: Great stuff.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Another gem
Another Gem from Danaher ; You can start aplying these principles since day one. Havent nearly achieved perfection with this moves but, I will keep working on them! The confidence that you gain when you know that you can escape from bad positions (I highly recommend also the pin escapes from new wave series also) from bad positions really is a game changer!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Must have
Awesome instructional. Throughout the series John seemlessly integrates general conceptual ideas with a hierarchy of technical options, that may be applied from a given disadvantageous position. Concepts are explained in thoughtful, easy to understand manner. Techniques are articulated well, which makes them easier to remember.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-3:Game changing
The idea of turning all your escapes into an opportunity to attack is so simple but so different to what everyone else teaches
