This was probably one of the first instructionals I purchased on BJJ Fanatics and the one most worth my money. John Danaher adresses a beginner's main problem when starting- being stuck in different kinds of pins. Once again he offers a systematical approach instead of just showing a bunch of escapes without any connection between them. A must have for everyone who wants to up their game in the beginning and never fear getting stuck again.
I went from stuck under 300lb monsters to them being scared to even try and pin me. I can’t thank John enough. These techniques work and work well even if you’re training partners are much larger
JD is a complete and well rounded instructor. His videos greatly help me in improving the techniques I am already aware of as well as introducing additional techniques and jiu jitsu strategies in an easily understood manner. Money well spent.
very insightful!
Very detailed instructional. He provides methods and techniques that shut down your opponents attempts to stop your escapes. Much more information and content than I anticipated, but all of it is worthwhile!
In-depth, detailed, every move is broken down into fundamental concepts. It may seem slow-paced at times, but it's really effective if you put in the time.
I was frustrated with getting pinned in side control and this course resolved that for me. I feel more comfortable and confident grappling with higher belts now.
I bought this instructional since I was a blue belt that could not get out of side control or north south no matter how much I flailed around. After watching this and drilling some of the side control and north south escapes I am much harder to keep pinned. This has helped me survive against purple to brown belts. Can’t thank Danaher enough for the amazing content. Truly a game changer.
Extremely useful skills, nice contents and a solid system in order to escape every :pushpin:!
Change my mind set and help me out in order noboby could pin me:muscle:😉
This is the best explanation on escapes I’ve seen.
Very detailed, great fundamental lessons.
Not only covers the how, but the why of each of the moves he performs so an understanding can be gained to troubleshoot issues on one's own.
This is a cornerstone course for literally anyone in their BJJ journey. I love the way Danaher teaches and cements theory and technique through repetition and explaining how to deal with higher levels of resistance. Literally none of these escapes are covered in my day-to-day BJJ class. I have found this to be incredibly important for my development.
This instructional series by John Danaher are like his usual material: outstanding. I really advice to any grappler, from novice to expert to boy this videos and all material from professor Danaher. Osssss
Perfect for every belt level. Great detail with as always from Master John Danaher.
I'm slowly building my go further faster repertoire and can feel my game improving with each video. The level of detail is unlike any other instructional video series I've seen and the systematic approach helps you recall the key concepts when it matters most. Well worth the investment!
The level of details are incredible
Phenomenal instructor. I love how he breaks down the philosophy of BJJ.
Great instructional for a beginner like myself.
This video greatly helped me as a beginner, and I am still learning from it. I have received gpod feedback from upper belts about my understanding of the basics. John Danaher is a fantastic teacher.
This video was extremely helpful, especially for elbow escapes. Danaher explains the techniques in tremendous detail, which then help to understand the entire movement better. This video is definitely one to get!
Extremely detailed escapes concepts.
Well, John Danaher did it again. He puts out the best instructionals in the jitz world. The Explanations to how, why, and when are the skills beginners need in there and I journey. He is like Google maps to direct you through escapes in every position. I highly recommend for the beginners like myself. Buy this for sure.
Really enjoyed this video series. Very detailed and reassuring seeing how Danaher does his escapes and timing. Having fun being in bad positions.
