Very helpful with passing guard.
Very helpful with passing guard. Danaher along with Gordon’s videos on the same subject go very well with each other.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great details!
This instructional has really helped me pick up on the necessary details of guard passing. John really gets nitty gritty with details and it really helped me avoid common mistakes.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Worth it
Danaher's insights into BJJ are next level, he provides excellent and simple explanations for the "whys" of guard passing. This video series was definitely a great investment.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Top Notch information
Anything by Danaher is great! He explains things perfectly and makes you think.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Amazing
Amazing instructional. Was able to improve my jiu-jitsu right away.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Worth it for the body lock passes alone
This is exceptional. I wasn't sure as the passing in gi was pretty comprehensive, but there are plenty of elements in here not touched on in the gi passing. I have melded pretty well with the body lock passing and I believe it is worth it for that alone. However open guard passing is a subject I will delve deeper into and hopefully master thanks to this material.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Helpful
Great way to improve your passing game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great Guard Passing Instructional
This is a great instructional that not only covers the fundamentals of guard passing, but shows techniques that will give you the ability to pass the guard of people at the highest level. All of his work is top quality and this one does not disappoint!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Your game will always change
Your game will always change after watching a danaher video
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Must have
Between fanatics wrestling and fanatics bjj I have more than 30+ instructionals so far. Hours and hours of great content and valuable information and even though I have yet to see them all, there are few that stand out like a beacon of light in the midst of the night. One of these is the new wave jiujitsu guard passing instructional. John breaks down everything like he usually does so the student - you and me buddy <3 - can get the most bang for our buck and even though the price tag is quite hefty, remember the information John delivers has not just taken half a lifetime to archive but more importantly gone through his Aspergers filter. If there is something important you need to know john is there making sure you know about it. Recommended for everyone at all levels.
Brilliant guard passing system
Brilliant instructional full of gold. John is the best peroid
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:AWESOME!!
Top instructional Nothing else to say
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Effective and efficient techniques that work (even as a white belt)
Jiu-jitsu has a history of being effective but Danaher's techniques increase its effectiveness while making them simple and straightforward (which is indicative of a high level of knowledge in both technique and principle). I'm a four-stripe white belt that's been training for 8 months (mostly 4-5 times per week) and I have been able to use these techniques to pass the closed guard of blue belts that are half my age (I'm 51) by simply using the techniques in this instructional video. Plus, John shows you a great way to handle possible sweeps after you stand and they are also effective, which allows you to feel comfortable in attempting the guard pass since you know you can quickly recover from a sweep and still achieve the guard pass. New Wave Jiu-jitsu is the beginning of the next phase of jiu-jitsu for the 21st century that will serve to make jiu-jitsu an even better system. A big thanks to John Danaher for his innovative and effective approach!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Recommend
Excellent as always. John offers the best teaching for those who wish to learn at a deeper level. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t have patience to listen to someone repeat the same thing over and over, don’t buy. However, if you know and understand the power of repetition, then you’ll find this video to be a gamechanger.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great instructional
