I own several Danaher instructionals and this is as high quality as all the others. Danaher systematically explains the mount position and corresponding high percentage submissions. A must watch to improve your mount.
Danaher always puts out the heat. The mount system is no different. Glad I picked this one up!
This is magic - everything just works. Even though it’s so boring watching Danaher demonstrate the same techniques over and over and say the same thing over and over, as soon as I take it to the mats it works, with zero practice. I still have to refine it, and rewatch to get details I missed, and rewatch again, but it works. I neglected my mount game for a few years while I focused on guard, side control and passing, so to watch a few hours and then immediately start holding pins indefinitely while isolating limbs and getting submissions is just nuts. It’s not me, it’s him. Good god. Buy this.
I’ve always had trouble holding and maintaining mount but this instructional leveled up my mount game.
A detailed system!
This is a really straightforward and powerful approach to submitting from mount. A lot of people have trouble converting to submissions from dominant positions so I'd really recommend this. Also, I'd pair this with his back attack series and side control series. When you can not only attack from mount but also change the position and renew the attack from a new angle your effectiveness will go way up.
Very helpful and easy to implement
Was able to implement these techniques in live training very quickly and pass this info to training partners as well.
Best instructional video and very well detailed
Great mount system from John Danaher
John Danaher is the best! Always enjoy his instructionals!
I finally understand why mount is a dominant position. This dvd has me convinced it is THE dominant position in all of bjj
This was an extremely useful tutorial with powerful techniques indeed. It helped me, because it takes the guesswork out of boss sidemount and mount. Extremely helpful. Also goes through finishes from the back. I highly recommend this as an overview of what can be done, before delving deeper when actually buying the back series or the arm triangle series.
great
Great stuff. Its one of those videos thats hard to digest at once, but has information in it that brings you back again and again.
Excellent instruction from one of the best coaches in the game.
This instructional is awesome!! A select few attacks shown, but the detail and emphasis on control in this instructional is incredible. Poor Placido in this instructional though. Although he does get revenge ;)
JD is a genius to be sure. My number one problem is holding mount long enough to even consider submitting my opponent. John explains things clearly and points out overlooked details that are essential to hold the mount.
Changed my nogi mount approach, far more effective
Very help video. I used to hate mount but now the only people who hate it are the people I’m rolling with! Thanks for the great product!
My most enjoyable Danaher Instructional... Fun, Nice to drill. Glad I got this system before starting the "Enter the system" videos
After watching this instructional, John's mount system. My mount improved a lot and became far more controlled, dominant and dangerous. I was able to put pressure and submit people much easier than before.
My ability to get to mount and keep mount has greatly improved from this instructional.
Amazing !!!
Valid gonna prob pair this with open guard sweeps once that comes on .
