Guard Retention: Head Control by John Danaher

[@VitorGomes_]

This is much more useful than watching someone teaching a specific position step-by-step.

[@jesusiskingofkingss]

i unfollowed any and all jiu jitsu content from both instagram and youtube other than John Danaher , and if i ever see content from anyone else i just scroll past it, made more progress than ever this way, so many people in jiu jitsu struggle with this idea that they need to know everything at all times to be able to progress, but i just choose one of Johns videos and focus on that specific video for a whole month, for november i will do nothing but these basic fundamentals of guard retention in every roll , and also drill them after class, what my instructor is teaching in class i still do, but just half assed and i delete it from my mind after the class is over, so it doesnt take up space of my actual learning from mr Danaher

These videos continue to be very helpful! John for Prime Minister of New Zealand

Every time John opens his mouth I'm continually blown away by the amount of knowledge he possesses. Wonderful details, thank you for always making easy-to-understand explanations for jiu-jitsu concepts.

[@TheDomLouis]

This is indeed gold fundamental concepts for this white belt.

[@mouthguardcomic]

These concepts are the sort of things instructors usually never share in regular training. It may come out as an aside or while rolling they may shout it out. He teaches things like this as fundamentals. No wonder his guys are so good.

[@aplus1080]

So beautiful. Makes me feel stupid. So many instructors don't cover (or explicitly know) the fundamentals

[@Whisky148]

A Plus Sad but true.

[@The_Brew_Dog]

What’s beautiful and dramatically sets John apart as a teacher is his ability to share information without it feeling like drinking from a fire hose.

[@Whisky148]

Going through pin escapes. Can’t wait to see this next. Thanks for the knowledge guys

[@angelorusso9345]

"My opponent has a head too." John Danaher, 2019.

[@brianlevine1171]

so true

[@jscarpa2002]

I find to my horror! That "My opponent has a head too!"

[@leonfdawson]

For now.

[@carlosgranah]

Amazing so many details and concepts explained in this video!!!!

[@matuidicharo1450]

We all need techniques but Danaher’s concepts or even better than techniques

[@meanmach5896]

👍 Great video! Would like to see some example of this with different guard passes.

[@MrRitmu]

You might consider buying the new series then. They go over it in a pretty detailled way there.

[@tokinabo]

watch this at 1.5x speed. faster but not disturbing :-)

[@DeanRmma]

Why would you ignore 50% of the dictionary? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@othmaneelmansouri6314]
