Attacking open guard
1. Break your opponents grips - The four points of connection
2. Establish strong working grips (legs) -
3. Create an angle - don't go straight forward as you would be moving straight into their guard
4. Close distance
5. Level change - achieve chest to chest or knee on belly (chest to chest is more controlling)
6. Pin your opponents head and shoulders to the ground (3 seconds to achieve a pin)
The more steps you satisfy:
- The higher the threat you become.
- The more extreme their defensive measures must become.
- The more risks you will have to take (including back exposure) in order to prevent the pin.
Guard retention
1. Break your opponents grips - The four points of connection
2. Establish strong working grips (ulegs) - Without grips your opponent can easily pass your guard
3. Don't allow your opponent to create an angle on you
4. As your opponent creates an angle, form frames on your opponent
The three levels of frames
First level:
a. Frame on the far bicep with your forehand, as this will be the arm that will be attempting to control your head
theres to return your opponent to guard (go back to step 1/2)
se the scissor action - lefttouch your left foot to your right hand (The scissor keeps you aligned with your opponent)
opponent tries to level change in the scissor, sweep them. If not, re-align yourself, withdraw your legs and you will be back to open guard (back to step 1/2)
Second level: Forearm frame (After your opponent has closed half of the distance)
a. Frame on the inside of the neck
b. Reverse shrimp
c. Pull your body around the corner, past north-south and until you can form a scissor. (back to step 1/2)
Third level: Backhand frame (your opponent has very nearly established chest to chest)
a. If opponent passes your right leg, place your left arm horizontally palm down across your chest. Place your palm onto the right side of your face.
b. When your opponent goes to control your head and shoulders, you can take inside position with your right hand. (stopping the crossface)
c. Underhook your opponents arm (this gives them chest to chest, but you have the inside position)
d. The inside position allows you to shrimp out and come to turtle (control your opponents leg otherwise you expose your back)
e. undertooklide knee to knee on your opponents near leg and step over it. Sit back and bring your opponent back to guard (There are many other attacking options from this position)
ty bro
What a man😍
Not all heros wear capes.
ty man
I k some of them wear gis now.
John Denaher and Bernardo, two of the realest niggas there is out there
Now I know why the Danaher Death Squad got so good, so fast. I have never had such perfect instruction before on a subject I have been struggling with for far too long. Danaher is obviously a very smart guy.
He was a philosophy professor so knows HOW people learn. Bruce Lee was a philosopher too. That's part of the reason he was able to formulate Jeet Kune Do.
@@mxu111 Firas Zahabi to, a student of Danahar
@@mrtravelhub4313 and also a philosopher too i love firas and jon
When John starts speaking, you always have to turn the sound up a few notches
and then bernardo comes back and blows your eardrums
@@fukingmagnets "And you guys KNOW LIKE..."
I can't hear him even in full volume.
He speaks low like Steven Segal who taught him everything he knows.
haha
"a day late and a dollar short" gonna start using that
:) :) :)
Legends says Bernardo is the only person that can make John smile xD
"Some people get it, some dont" bro I felt that 😪
hahahahahah :) :) :)
max r I feel personally attacked
I am one of those people who didn't get it. This video helped a lot.
The final defensive frame to steal inside position is such a sneaky detail. Awesome stuff!
Thanks for the support :) :) :)
John jiu jitsu knowledge is amazing 🟦🟦🟦🟦⬛️⬛️🟦
Danaher is the GOAT.
That right there is what a good teacher looks like
John has such a great ability to deconstruct things into such basic components and minutia, it really is levels above the way most people are teaching these techniques.
Priceless explanations. Thank you!
Wow. Wonderful. I knew you had the answers John! Been waiting for this one the most as it's my weakest link. Thank you for all you do for us.
Man John is an amazing teacher!!! So good👍🏼 Thanks.
John is a literal BJJ professor. I would love to learn from him directly
Love me some Don Janaher! Brilliant and generous man.
I have had to troubleshoot this exact issue so many times in my own head, about at what point I invert and best ways to block different stages on side control. It is sooo nice to have such a competent well-spoken guy break up the stages. John Danaher is like modern day Master Splinter haha....... thank you Bernado. :)
thank you for breaking down concepts into applicable steps. very helpful!
Very informative. Thank you.
This is how I start my Monday. Looks like ill be a bit late to work.
Hahahah same here brother
Never been this excited to wake up
hahahahhahahaha thats awesome :) :) :) thanks for the support!
No one
Bernardo Faria - Huge honor for me
We love it. Keep the video's coming
Thanks for the support! :) :) :)
The step system is so much easier to follow. 👌👍
Another great video ! Thank you very much for sharing with us :-)
so helpful thank you
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Many thanks!
James Hand Ossssss :) :) :)
thank you for the video
Thanks for the great breakdown. Wish I could afford the DVD.
I’ve got them all bro send me your email or something then I’ll pass them all to you
Thanks from France Sir !
This is gold
Very insightful. Hopefully this will be of use in my next session of bjj.
I felt I should have paid money for this content 😮 Thank You
absolutely brillant
Wheres the donate button. We gotta get you a mic for your guests
Yes I'm sold out. I will buy Danaher's videos.
FANTASTIC 🥋⚡️❤️🙏🏻
NICE!
now the question: where does the cartwheel pass lie in this system of steps?
this man is a BJJ nat'l treasure
Love the camera operator’s sounds.
That dry gi on gi rustling sound is so nice
Where can I find these tutorials. They are so good!
Love this... M’kay
Wizard. He speaks like a phd in bjj
I think u could say he is a phd or a Master in BJJ
Bernardo, what will be the title of the DVD series? I think I'll buy this one. As a blue belt, this is more valuable to me.
Great stuff 👍 could someone please clarify steps 4&5 tho? I feel like closing the distance, and establishing chest to chest contact with level change are the same thing? Am I missing something.
The strength of a conceptual approach (fundamental, all-encompassing, context-insensitive, flexible) vs point by point approach (circumstancial, context-dependent, rigid)... This is tatame science! :-)
OSSSSSS :) :) :)
Man can't wait for the guard retention dvd..
Madmac79 :) :) :) thanks for the support
Now I have a goal when I go to train
Lately, I've been afraid to reach my foot over and across to scissor (or even use it to square back up) mostly b/c I'm afraid of people doing what Ive been doing to them -- sprawling and dropping into like a leg draggy kind of a thing -- pinning that leg. Since Priit cautioned and showed this a couple months ago in his grilled chicken dvd, I've been having good success with exploiting this and doing a quick drop there (in my own passing) on that reaching foot. So actually, I've had to unlearn it in a way so it's strange to see it being part of one of my heroes foundational guard concepts. I'd be interested to see it addressed. Thanks!
Da pra ouvir esse cara explicar por horas , valeh bernado ! abs
Great videos but could you all please invest in a shotgun microphone or try to improve the audio quality.
Next intructional?? Guard retention?? I will buy it
Mr John Danaher explains the superiority of a conceptual approach on a point-by-point approach and then shows us three specific technique against three specific guard passing. What I saw is that the best leg-frame for Danaher is the SCISSOR FRAME and that when the legs are passed he uses three ARM FRAMES depending on the distance with his opponent. Nothing new but very specific moves to use against different techniques and distances. I can't find the link between the teoretical introdution of the video and the pratical appllications. I'm confused. Having said that it is always a pleasure to hear what Mr. John Danher has to say and always learn new details.
maxbjj Hey brother, the concepts that John is referring to are the six fundamental requirements for passing guard.
1. Disconnect from opponents grips
2. Establish your own grip
3. Make angle
4. Match levels
5. Connect chest to chest
6. Secure head and shoulder
He explains that if you know these six elements that your opponent needs in order to pass your guard, you can be more effective in defending against them and retaining your guard.
In this short video he simply uses a few techniques to demonstrate the overarching concepts - as it would be impossible to show every conceivable combination.
Hope that helps! 👊👊👊
@@kieranvanblyenburgh thanks for your comment but it doesn't help me.
Im with you on this one. I feel his 6 steps are almost obvious, and don't really see how knowing that will have any effect on how you retain guard. The specific techniques were indeed useful, but doesn't relate much to the theory.
He said it was an old school approach to reacting to the opponants guard pass technique, however he just showed different techniques to counter passing.
@@mazzadude They are principles which are non-technique specific and I can see how they will help (for me at least). JD gave examples of techniques to illustrate the principle but swap in/out any technique, it doesn't matter. The ARM FRAMES prevent point 5 from being violated (connect chest to chest) and that can apply to any guard pass being performed. It can also help you to re-orientate when under-fire e.g. you know a pass is happening but you might otherwise be unsure how to prevent it - in this case, you work back towards establishing those 4 points of contact/control..
John my Brother
If anyone has purchased his go further faster dvds can you tell me if John teaches how to break guard in them?
Gold
thank you!
please make a video called "how not to get stuck in closed guard".
thanks again.
When is this instructional expected to release?
drvance216 probably July... thanks for the support... :)
Did he pronouce "lasso" as "las SUE" at 7:32? LOL. But seriously this is great info! Thanks for sharing.
Is most of the DVD based around these 6 concepts or are there more?
Also when does the Gustavo Batista instructional come out?
There are 6 THOUSAND points to the guard pass. This is just the beginning. Be prepared to purchase many DVD's
does this video help with no gi guard retention?
What is Middlesex tpk and 4th ave?
13:12 great technique
I think I've been subconsciously blocking (framing) people and quickly shrimping to return to guard as I'm pretty quick due to being so light.
had to turn the volume up and zoom the screen in to hear danaher better..
Lassooo!
Great video, but the sound quality is not very good. I would recommend upgrading your equipment.
What if the passer pushes down the scissoring legs to the mat?
Wizard
how do the 4 points of connection work for no gi? i try to grab wrists but ppl seem to break the grip easily especially when sweaty.
Grab their ball sack
Bernardo is all inside me
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH :) :) :)
My guard retention sucks. After that dvd it wont. MUAHAHAHAHAAHA!
:) :) :)
I learned how to use the "technical lift" to get out of the guard position and either go to my feet, or take the opponents back. It was much easier to get to my feet with most belt levels. I lost interest in the game aspect. What do I care if I can't submit higher belts while in my guard? I can get back to my feet which I determined was a much better position to be in.
Looks like I need to be saving my money again.
hhahahahahahahahahahahaH :) :) :)
I get lost at 18 minutes.
Is he saying for this video always pulling gaurd so your partner can drill?
I like the video.👍🇨🇮
That is a Ph. D in BJJ class for your azz. Every one of John’s videos are archive material. Perfectly explained. Like bitches!
Is this a video you should watch as a white belt?
Bernado starts speaking: Turns the sound down a few notches
John Starts speaking: Turns the sound up to the maximum and put headphones on
Does this video have movement drills in it?
I can’t reposition or roll on my back cos I get flattened by a lot of weight
John wears rashguards everywhere. Like grocery shopping and friend’s weddings. There are photos.
Never know when u gotta roll with someone at Walmart. Have u seen the people in there?
Apparently, he's quite fond of fanny packs as well, lol...
@@andrewkim6037 thats cause nogi shorts have no pockets 😂😂😂😂 I actually feel him
@@jnovais6767 same ahahahaha
scissor me timbers
:) :) :)
Science
where does inverting fit into all this?
If you have to invert you fucked up, If the dude is good they will pas your guard
Can we finally get John a decent mix please 🎤 🙏🏽
Guard retention
I thought he said hypertension- wrong channel 😬
Please mic up master Po!
who dislikes a video like this?
Losers
There is a problem with the voice ( volume is so little ) fix it please
You can tell this is a high quality bjj instructional since neither of them are wearing Shoyorol
What's wrong with shoyoroll?
@@AbdullahMikalRodriguez its kind of a poseur brand, the Supreme and BAPE of bjj
Or it could be because BJJ Fanatics and Bernardo Faria are sponsored by Fuji, hence they’re both wearing Fuji gi’s and Fuji mats is plastered everywhere 🙄
Anyone know of BJJ videos that show more demonstration than talking?
If you're more visual then there are plenty. Most have less talking and go move to move, less concepts. Can't think of any off the top of my head but peruse youtube to your heart's delight. You won't run out of shorter bjj videos
Ok. Thank you
I suggest you : BJJ scout (the old ones), Ayrshire Grappler and DPS Breakdowns : no talking, real MMA/BJJ/grappling competition fights with text over it to explain what's going on
Juzam777 thank you! These are great. Exactly what I was looking for.
19:02 what was that strange sound ?!!
Who possibly downvotes this?
I'm watching this in my rashguard ;)
Bernardo Faria... best eyebrows in jiujitsu
Spidey god
So. The best immediate way past Danaher's guard is a hip throw. Not that I think he would be easy to hit one on.
Anyone else have a hard time hearing danaher in these videos?
Turn up the volume? :p
He's a whispering lizard
Indeed probably the most unintuitive skill for beginners, rolling with the other white belts often feels like whoever starts passing wins
