    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)

    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!

  • @maxbjj
    @maxbjj 5 лет назад +9

    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.

    • @kieranvanblyenburgh
      @kieranvanblyenburgh 5 лет назад +3

      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! 👊👊👊

      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.

    • @deadlypalms
      @deadlypalms 5 лет назад +1

      @@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..

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.

    You can tell this is a high quality bjj instructional since neither of them are wearing Shoyorol

      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 🙄

    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 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

      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
