The Perfect Way To Understand The No Gi (Grappling) Open Guard by John Danaher

[@richkrupansky1339]

I love John's videos. However, I wish you could mic him up. Its always hard to hear

[@leandro0720bitch]

Had to turn off my fan to hear on my phone

[@civb18c5hatch]

Ya it's tough.

[@michaelcorcoran3942]

Had to turn of my tractor and grab me headphones.

[@WhereThereDude]

yes even worst when the voice of bernardo is really loud, so you have to play with the volume like a dummy

[@powerfuldags]

What more do you want for FREE!!! How about you turn on captions you inconsiderate fuck

[@yew2oob954]

The six elements: 1. Close distance 2. Establish grips 3. Get angle 4. Level change 5. Expose torso 6. Pin (head/shoulders to mat)

[@grimsbybrazilianjiu-jitsu7423]

Seeing Danaher attack backside 50/50 and respect 50/50 as a leglock option warms my heart. Shout out to Diggle and Giles.

I‘m waiting for the „how to be a uke“ by placido dvd

[@kogrady2409]

Amazing!!! He really is the best though. Never a fucking peep out of him, he takes nonstop beatings without making any choking noises or anything and he’s always in the right position to let John show the technique.

[@XHDxCriSiSx]

I think he is distracting and not in the loop with John and Bernardo. Constantly moving and not paying attention. John unfazed because he’s teaching but even in this vid you can see Bernardo getting annoyed by it.

JDs the man getting indepth with his technique and insight always makes me want to get on the mat

[@aeinspruch]

Works for me in the gi since purple, opens your opponent to so many attacks at all times, and keeps them on defense. If you are a smaller player it’s very effective for not getting smashed.

[@DSVN23]

Which principle in particular?

[@Jonobos]

I have a lot of these new school guard retention vids. They are heavy on important theory which is great if you are deep in to jiujitsu. But they dont give you simple repeatable live drills to do to train all the movements so i had to build them myself. Instuctionals now fall into two categories. Theory or technique. But they lack the nuts and bolts drills to bring the theory into practice.

[@Leumas34676]

Because the best athletes in the world don’t do simple repeatable drills

[@phredbookley183]

I'm a simple man. I see Danaher? I click like

[@ronchew391]

That was super 🙌🏼awesome. I like how Danaher broke it down to 6 things you need to know in order to pass the guard which helps you understand the philosophy.

[@putpixel4804]

For those who doesnt want to watch 30+ min general idea of the video ("new wave of jiujitsu") is that you must be good at attacking upper body & lower body of opp. No thanks are necessary.

[@parkour457]

We need a mic on danaher immediately

[@rodrigobeltran4795]

everytime I watch one of your videos, especially whith Danaher, I learn a new concept that may improve my game. Thanks for the excellent work!

Oh John gonna speak, time to raise the volume to 100.

[@Kanawanu]

Omg i have had a major break from the sport (7years) and recently restarted. Catching up with top competitors and seeing a young Craig Jones as a Giles demonstration partner says miles about him as a teacher, as well as giving excellent advices on defeating very stubborn player that play butterfly/ knee shield game in practice.

[@EagleTrue]

[@TheCommonS3Nse]

It’s taken me a long time to get good at guard retention. I’ve always been fairly good at imposing my will upon people, which means I’m usually in top position. I literally had to resort to pulling guard just to get some practice from guard. It definitely would have been nice to start out with a focus on guard retention so I could master that first. It makes such a huge difference in the rest of your game.

[@beauferguson9535]

[@gabrielventer493]

think he’s said he’ll get around to this at some stage

[@mkum2141]

he actually has a part of his feet to floor series which he dedicates to this. He says he favoured the high single leg for various reasons when dealing with drunk hooligans he had to remove from the bar

[@cafecreme5049]

3 other reasons: Leg locks have also a fast setup, less stacking defense possible preoccupied by turning away, and less dexterity then arms....

[@FR-ty5vn]

Brilliant!!
