John Danaher has a problem with how most people train alone.


They flail around doing random movements. They practice techniques in the air without understanding the mechanics. They wonder why months of solo drilling don't translate when they finally get back on the mats.

Why Most Solo Training Is Worthless

Most grapplers think solo training means doing a few shrimps and hoping for the best. They treat it like cardio instead of skill development.

But here's what Danaher understands: solo training isn't about practicing techniques. It's about building the fundamental body mechanics that make every technique possible.

This is why Danaher's students move differently than everyone else. Their fundamentals are programmed at a deeper level.

The Complete System That Builds Real Skills

When COVID shut down gyms worldwide, Danaher jumped on a train to Boston and filmed the exact solo training methodology he uses with world champions.

This isn't a collection of random drills. It's a systematic progression covering everything you need.

  • Part 1 - The Foundation

    The need for solo training, three axioms of jiu-jitsu training, and the most important body skills. Complete bottom position mastery: bridging, shrimping, reverse shrimping, and scooting.

  • Part 2 - Advanced Movement

    Patterns Supine heisting, hip heisting, leg pummeling, leg scissor, high leg spin, sit-outs, rolling, inside leg standup, and sit-backs. The movement combinations that create fluidity.

  • Part 3 - Top Position control

    Guard standing up, footwork drills, stance and motion, sprawl and circle, and weight bearing posture. Everything you need for dominant top game.

  • Part 4 - The Athletic Foundation

    Special focus on training your spine, building core strength specifically for jiu-jitsu, designing your personal workout, three directions for training development, and complete pull-up bar routines.

Each movement is broken down to its essential mechanics. Danaher explains not just what to do, but why it works and how it connects to actual techniques.

The Precision That Makes the Difference


Every drill has a purpose. Nothing is random. Everything builds toward better jiu-jitsu.
