GOD LEVEL Guard Passing by John Danaher

What is your favorite guard passing no gi?

16:24 - 19:44 Consequences of Inadequate Half Guard: - Knee Lever Vulnerability: If your knee is on the floor, your opponent can easily use a knee lever to disturb your balance. - Bridge Efficacy: If your hips are in direct contact with your opponent's hips, their bridge can be powerful enough to take you over. - Elbow Escape: A poorly positioned knee, especially if it's outward, allows your opponent to elbow escape easily, potentially putting you back into guard. - Underhook Disadvantage: If your opponent secures a strong underhook, they can disrupt your position significantly, leading to various complications. Steps to Establish an Effective Half Guard: 1. Secure Your Underhook: Always aim to get your own underhook while ensuring your chin is above the opponent's shoulder. This position prevents them from regaining an underhook and destabilizing your control. 2. Adjust Knee Positioning: Instead of having your knee on the floor (making it susceptible to knee levers), turn your foot outward. This simple adjustment nullifies the knee lever threat. 3. Elevate Your Hips: To render your opponent's bridge ineffective, lift your hips off the floor, ensuring there's no direct contact between your hips and theirs. This action significantly reduces the power of their bridge. 4. Point Your Knee Inwards: To prevent elbow escapes, adjust your knee to point inwards. This position blocks the path for elbow escapes, securing your half guard. 5. Cross the Center Line: Stepping over your training partner's center line not only stabilizes your position but also applies considerable pressure, making it difficult for them to execute any of their potential escape or reversal techniques. 6. Apply Punishing Pressure: By controlling the center line and maintaining the aforementioned positions, you establish a dominant half guard that limits your opponent's options and allows for effective guard passing.

19:05 placido having too much fun down there

Professor Faria you’re a such a humble guy & so nice but people forget how much of an awesome champion you are ! Thank you for posting such great content really helps my game! JD is a pioneer & fellow kiwi 🙏

Just amazing how Danaher simplifies everything. I'm getting better just by watching a video, which is not the norm for me. Gordan isn't the GOAT; Danaher is.

Starts at 12:00

I used to find Danaher's instructionnals very interestings and full of new informations, now that i did a few competitions and i've been coaching jiujitsu, i find that they are really less of instructionnals videos but more sacred scriptures for us poor ignorant fools who think they know a bit about jiu-jitsu.

19:05 placido legit dying under danaher pressure 😂

His fingers are all taped up. He must have had a wild night with the ladies

John has changed the game for all of jiu jitsu. I would love to see him do a self defense video involving strikes and takedowns.

I always crack at the "ô John"... Bernardo is hillarious.

25 years in 25 minutes.. take my money, Oss

Damn! Didn't know you were from Juiz de Fora! Its nice to know my city has produced such an amazing man! Huge honor for me! Good on you Bernardo!

JD is a genius. I love his work ❤

Very helpful Video for explaining very difficult passes.

I'm happy that uke stopped chewing his nails for the demonstration.

Great job ❤❤❤❤I learned a lot from your videos

Fantastic video, I love how danaher sistematically breaks down positions and concept to impose your game and simultaneously shut down everything the opponent can do. You can see this clearly in his top student's game, prime example gordon ryan: his opponent know what he is gonna do but can't stop it because he sistematically breaks them from every position. I also love how he goes over basic positions everyone has seen from day one but adds key details that make all the difference.

Why are we hearing the camera deep breathing get a boom mic JFC
