How To Perfect Your Guard Passing No Gi by John Danaher

[@jessika9488]

I love how humble Bernardo is. He listens like he is hearing about Jiu Jitsu for the first time.

[@BM-of6dg]

So so true.

[@CarMad97ci]

As if he isn’t extremely knowledgeable in his own right… it’s extremely impressive, and I admire this attribute in him

[@aplus1080]

God bless him for introducing me to 2x speed on all videos

[@carpejkdiem]

He makes the natural teacher in me realize how much work I have to do to become that next level teacher. He's incredible. Him and Ryan Hall have helped so many people become so much better at instruction. Their knowledge & insights are incredible on these topics.

[@Thecelestial1]

I absolutely love the intros to the instructionals! A lot of people think it’s too technical, but the way he identifies, defines and repeats concepts and terms shows me he understands teaching.

[@carpejkdiem]

@@alessio7528 LITERALLY DDS! Yeah, I’m calling BS. There are 5 members and over half of them are at B-team and the other is Gordon Ryan. And unless you live in Austin Texas that’s all not true.

[@Garysmith2045]

Same for the contrast between the video content and the scripted portion at the end. "Please help me to grow my YT channel" comes in loud AF.

This is the best no-gi passing instructional. It's WAY better than Gordon's.

[@RAJ-zo8cu]

Gordon is the student after all, you can’t expect him to have the same knowledge as danaher.

[@nagatothagod]

gordon's current passing instructional is like 5 years old. He plans on releasing a new one. Let's see how the new one is compared with danaher's

[@mkum2141]

@@nagatothagod its 3 years old not 5 lmao

[@nagatothagod]

​@@mkum2141 whatever, my point was that its not really fair to compare a brand new instructional with an older one. When we have both new ones we can judge fairly

[@B1bLioPhil3]

@@nagatothagod there have been many guard passing instructionals after Gordon's. None of them are as complete as Gordon's. Yet they all are "newer". This instructional by Danaher is 11 hours long. It's the most complete no-gi guard passing instructional by far. It's surpassed Gordon's.

[@dionwindleborn6059]

In theory Bernardo should be the best Jiu Jitsu player of all time because he spends so much time learning off of every single super trainer/competitor.

[@stefandili2650]

that;s amazing!

[@MHKaneHK]

Jesus bro he's a 5x world champion what more do you want 😂

[@jesusiskingofkingss]

goes to show that too much information results in it not being absorbed properly. jiu jitsu is a activity where you need specific focus for long periods of time to make any real progress, for example what John does with his whitebelts as he talked about before, he will have them focus on pin escapes all the way till they get their blue belt compared to every other school where the moment you join as a white belt they just flood you with information, after 1 or 2 years the student learned basically nothing and can only make progress in rolling because of muscle memory, and has no conscious idea of what theyre actually doing

[@davidoconnor1773]

Every time Bernando says "John Danaher, YUGE HONOR FOR ME; Placido......😶", I always laugh because it feels like a "Hello Darkness My Old Friend" moment!

[@TruthSubjective]

Thank you

[@Refillyowill]

I’m a white belt and my instructor only has me fighting guys who outweigh me. Which I’ve noticed is much harder to pass than a guy who’s smaller or looking for escapes because we can actually get to that point. So if you could make a video on some fundamentals for fights and passing against heavy opponents that would be something I’d watch for sure.

[@mayormccheese3969]

As a smaller guy myself, when I’m going with bigger guys I have a lot of success in passing the half guard. Like John said in this video half guard gives you the ability to control the head and you can use inside position like underhooks. I feel control like that helps to neutralizes a lot (not all) of weight and strength difference. From there you can focus on using technique and finesse to pass into a better position.

[@marioriderelli]

I loved the video, it will revolutionize my guard passing. But...wasn't John going to show how to open the closed guard first? 🥋

[@Garysmith2045]

The Opening Closed Guard material in his "Go Further Faster" passing instructional may be of interest to you. I bet he addresses it in the NoGi one too.

[@---tx9xx]

The go further faster is loght on ooebing the closed guard, hooe he covered more on. Ew one, anyone can comment?
