In Perhaps John’s Best Organized Instructional To Date: You Can Learn To Make Closed Guard Your Most Dangerous Position


Attacking From The Top Lock With John Danaher:

What Will You Learn? 

Learn the fundamentals and concepts behind one of grappling’s most important positions, as Professor John Danaher helps you go further, faster from the closed guard. Get the same instruction John gives to his championship athletes, and discover the power of closed guard with this systematic approach. Professor Danaher gives a masterclass in the vulnerabilities and concepts that govern closed guard, and how you can maximize your potential there.

John Danaher is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost experts in grappling, and his goal in our Go Further, Faster is to explain the underlying fundamentals and concepts that govern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. John is the notorious coach behind some of the sports most successful grapplers and fighters, including Gordon Ryan, Garry Tonan, and Georges St. Pierre. From the blue basement at Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City, John has produced a squad of dangerous submission hunters who demonstrate a mastery of the fundamentals in the positions they fight from.

 

Professor Danaher explains not just how to attack from closed guard, but also why each attack is working on a mechanical and strategic level. Learn the hidden “top hip” principle that can totally turn around the way you look at this common position, and the skills necessary to exploit your opponent’s weaknesses. With 8-volumes full of information, this is like taking a college course in how to sweep and submit with some of jiu-jitsu’s most powerful attacks and combinations.

The closed guard, as Professor Danaher explains, is governed by six main vulnerabilities that you can exploit for huge success. Learn each vulnerability, and how he connects them to all his favorite positions and submissions. Use your closed guard to set up submissions like armbars, triangle chokes, kimuras, and more with precise technique. Sweep with John’s four fundamental sweeps to mount, and turn your closed guard into back takes where you can finish with signature Danaher strangles. Bring together all of John’s best attacks by learning his method for systematizing closed guard.

 

The closed guard’s main vulnerabilities are positions in the guard where you can reliably get to and attack from. John explains in great detail each vulnerability, including how to get there and what to do when you’re there.

With systematic concepts around how to counter your opponent’s moves, see the most technical ways to get to top locks, clamp guards, side scissors, and more. Each position has huge potential, and by combining all of them you will have a complete guide on winning from closed guard.

You will even learn how to recover from bad positions inside the closed guard with this full-service fundamentals series. Good opponents are always trying to open the closed guard, so learn the most common threats you’ll see and how to counter those back into your game. Take standing opponents right off their feet by understanding John’s methods for off-balancing and using kuzushi. 

Defend off your back by understanding how John breaks down an opponent’s attacks. Build the essential skills that Professor Danaher has identified that will let you improve faster than ever from guard. With off-balancing, pinning, and gripping systems that will work for anyone who can execute them, this is one of the deepest explorations of technical closed guard ever.
