GOD LEVEL Guard Passing by John Danaher 

What is your favorite guard passing no gi?

Starts at 12:00

Love the mouth breathing asmr

19:05 placido having too much fun down there

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.

19:05 placido legit dying under danaher pressure 😂😅

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.

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 🙏

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!

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

I gave John that Rashie he is wearing, he asked me for scissors and cut the sleeves off at the forearm haha

the grappling community is lucky to have JOHN danaher

Very helpful Video for explaining very difficult passes.

JD is a genius. I love his work ❤

Thank you guys 😊 👦❤

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

This is awesome

We need a boom mic boys fr

Placido got jacked. Good for him.

Another banger

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

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

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

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

Danaher ASMR... an interesting pivot, guys

Nice!!!!!!!

Its always a huge honor. Unless its Placido apparently lol

Nice MJ fingers. Jamon!

"Get the fuck out of there" - John Danaher, 2024

Bernardo blows up the audio and John can barely be heard lol

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.

power top

Danaher is Mozart of jiu jitsu insane knowledge

I'm convinced jiu jistu players watch Danaher to learn to try to beat his students.

How is this different from the new wave guard passing product?

did someone roll into the drywall in the back? 😂

Niklas ist so eine inspirierende Persönlichkeit 💪🏻

When it says "GOD like" - they aren't lying !!! This guard pass and concept in general has literally transformed my guard passing , whether its this particular one or using the concepts with an over under, double under, or bodlock pass - it's hard to argue these pressure passing techniques arent superior

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.

Keeping the head below the knees while you’re trying to pass guard so they can’t regauard is genius

7:48 foot, hips, head. Guess some of my students will recognize this one :)

okay so for the first half of the technique you sit on the floor for 12 minutes

Get your popcorn out and clear your schedule

can anyone give any tips on how not to get ezekieled when on top halfguard? I feel like I’m in similar position as John is showing but I always get in an Ezekiel.

I could actually almost hear JD for once!

Once, just once, I would like to see Placido entirely derail one of these instructionals, while John and Bernardo are doing the preamble, picking his nose and closely examing his finger, or pretending he has something stuck in his eye

yall dont understand how overpowered this is lmao

LMAO Dude I love Danaher and I am enjoying this instructional already, but what a fucking hilarious title for this video

1:29 at this angle, placido looks like the hulk

guys, these are great but get a better microphone pls

So many people are so worried about the mic and the camera... bla bla ... it doesn't even matter, maybe pay attention to what hes trying to teach you.

Bro was miserable in Johns half gaurd

is there a point in learning the other 80 percent of jiu jitsu if 20 percent is the most effective?

The BJJ Fanatics sound quality has declined substantially in recent months. I'm guessing they bought new recording equipment that isn't as good as what they had before.

Michael Myers on the camera work it sounds like

Get a rode video Mic You can never hear John speak 😂

DON'T SKIP THE INTRO. You *need* to hear it!

John “the god” Danaher

John Danaher - “if I have a dominating cross face and nudge forwards reverse half my opponent can’t do shit. “ Duhhh lol

“Get the fuck out of there” - John Danaher

19:05 ayoo

incredible that john has two artificial hips

Please please work on the production value :(

Like he can't just bridge you over🤦

PLACIDO, THE UNSUNG HERO OF EVERY INSTRUCTIONAL ON PLANET EARTH. HOW THIS GUY IS NOT THE BEST JIU JITSU FIGHTER IN THE HISTORY OF FIGHTING, ITS BEYOND MY UNDERSTANDING. AND BELIEVE ME, I EVEN UNDERSTAND BIDEN.

21:20 did dude just pick shit from between his toes and eat it?

Mica will toast taza again

danaher is the king of yapping

the yawning cameraman lol

Get this man a tissue.

Placido looking like Mr. Olympia. Kid used to be skinny....

Poor Placido…

Isaiah 45:5 "I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me"

god is greater

"time is a weapon"...thanks John...stick to jiu-jitsu

A judo person: I know all thece concepts and techniques to the finest details and BJJ has nothing to teach me. OK, if you say so...

The most famous jobber on the Internet Placido

1/2 way in Danaher stops talking

i cant hear shit

Blasphemy

First 1/2 of the video can be skipped through...

This is so much easier to get through on 1.5 speed...geez, get to the point

If you recently hired a new engineer, you need to hire a new engineer. I can't see any of your faces or hear anything over the mat sounds. It looks like a Tim & Eric skit.

Don’t over use the word God .This not appropriate. No human can be called A God or A God level .If he has an injury he quit playing until his injury heals ,so he has limits and God (Allah ) has no limits .

Mouth breather recording with a weird lens😔

I can hear it you should invest in cleaning your ears out

John my bredren - you talk too much nonsense

Please don’t use the Holy name of God in your titles.

Placido always fidgeting with his nails or picking at his face during the intros. 😂 Get this man a fidget spinner or something. He’s clearly bored.

Blasphemy. Change the title.

Why film this with an ultra wide lens/fisheye on what seems to be a mobile phone?
