What Will You Learn?
We are very happy to announce the next installment of our groundbreaking instructional series, where coach John Danaher shows you how to Go Further Faster in your mastery of BJJ fundamentals.

This series explains one of the most important skills in all of jiu-jitsu: retaining your guard against an opponent intent on passing and pinning you down.

The Go Further Faster series, like the Enter The System series, identifies and explains the foundational skills, movements, and concepts that every jiu-jitsu practitioner needs to reach their full potential. Guard retention, at its core, is so key to success in jiu-jitsu—and John simplifies it.

Learn and master the movements, techniques, strategies, and concepts necessary to retain guard against even far more experienced grapplers. By breaking down these skills, you’ll understand exactly what makes them so key—and how to apply them seamlessly.

3 Positions Of Guard Retention

• Seated Guard: Scoot, invert, hip-heist, scissor and re-establish your guard.
• Supine Guard: Shrimp, pummel, pendulum, rollbacks and maintain dynamic leg frames.
• Turtle Position: Know when to turtle, how to shoulder-roll, sit up and re-guard.

Foundational Skill Domains

• Movement Skills: The prerequisite body movements that make every escape possible.
• Technical Skills: Sophisticated details that accelerate progress to black belt.
• Conceptual Knowledge: The big-picture frameworks that guide your decisions on the mat.
