As a white belt, this
As a white belt, this is exactly what I have been looking for understanding the concepts around pinning and escapes, and how to real time diagnose what the problem is and how to escape.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Foundation For BJJ
Excellent video, in depth...but so much info. My advice for viewing is to watch the whole think, but pay attention to the fundamentals, not individual moves (you won't remember them). Then treat it like a textbook and refer to individual moves one or 2 at a time.

Great instructions series
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Unpinnable
John Danaher does a great job going into great detail and explaining the science behind why his systematic approach works. I learned a lot of great fundamental concepts that I use every time I roll. It's always a huge compliment having some tough upper belts say you're hard to keep still. I have multiple John Danaher instructionals and always learn a lot.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great!
Some great pin escapes that many opponents won't see coming. Danaher leaves no stone unturned and gives you every option you could use from each of the different methods of escape.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Great for anyone
I bought this when I first started and it is a must have for learning to get out of tough spots. John goes over a multitude of ways to escape from really any bad position imaginable. The detail he goes into is amazing. Truly an invaluable instructional if you want to not be afraid of getting caught on bad positions knowing you’ll have the tools to escape.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Pin Escapes
All John Danaher instructionals have a wealth of knowledge & details to the subject he is demonstrating. I am excited to see what the rest of the Go Further Faster series has in store
Response from BJJ Fanatics:wink::hugging:Love It
Like so many recommended, pin escapes and turtle escapes is the absolute must-have for all BJJ practitioners. Danaher's teaching style is highly structured and helps students solidify their learnings so that they can understand the principles and remember the details.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:The Foundation of your game should start here
Incredibly comprehensive and detailed explanation of the problems and concepts of positional escapes. Great organised And systematic approach.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:great
Incredible instructional and so much content for your money, its fantastic. My only criticism will be that I found John's assistant quite distracting when he is explaining a position and technique.. he is constantly wriggling his toes and fidgeting!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great fundamentals

Words cannot begin to express my gratitude for your work here, John. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and meticulous attention to detail.

The man is a genius! He breaks things down so that you completely understand every movement. The video in amazing. And the demonstrations are easy to follow and remember.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Excellent Series on Defenese
Essential series for defense. Bow down to the rising shrimp ^^. This detail oriented series shows, how essential body mechanics play a major role in the successful execution any of technique. You´ll gain major insights into escaping from difficult pins and expand your understanding of these pins as well.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Essential Viewing
Decided to purchase this instructional Mr Danaher recommending beginners focus on escapes. I love the concepts and the incredible detail. As a beginner I appreciated learning a heuristic approach to escapes, along with a mental checklist. This makes it easier to apply what I've learned to a range of different pins and scenarios. The details on specific escapes is what really stands out. There are so many tiny details that are easy to look over. Nothing gets looked over in this instructional. The explanations are so good, I was able to apply the techniques immediately with success. Looking forward to purchasing Guard Retention next!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great details from Danaher
BJJ Fanatics is awsome like always. Danaher has to be one of the greatest teachers out there. If only he could teach me how to escape the 40% off sales! Lol
Response from BJJ Fanaticshahaha :hugging:Required viewing
Absolutely essential if you are serious about acquiring the skills essential for the art of BJJ. Highly recommended!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Exactly is what it is says it is. Worth buying and learning from.
Haven't finished the complete video series yet or had a chance to drill the material but my eyes have been opened to details that my existing knowledge of pin escapes was missing. Little details that address the questions I had as to why I have trouble successfully executing certain escapes on more advanced players. The concepts are presented in a user friendly manner and the material progression is obviously well thought out.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Excellent! Extremely detailed. Would recommend
Excellent! Extremely detailed. Would recommend for any belt level.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Fantastic instructional!
Very detailed as you would expect from danaher, detailing both concepts and also specific techniques to solve given problems, as a new blue belt this insight has helped my success in pin escapes tremendously. Highly recommend!

The concepts alone improved my escapes.
