What Will You Learn?

One irony is that the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu point system was created so that pins are awarded in ascending value—Back Mount is considered the best position—yet in practice, back drills rarely lead to submissions. John calls this “A Complete Disaster.”

The problem? No one creates an advantage. Danaher’s systems focus on always having and exploiting an advantage when you take the back: isolating an arm, trapping defenses, and chaining attacks until you finish.

Through eight volumes, learn the core principles that make Danaher’s back-attack system so effective, tested at the highest levels:

  • Position & Control: Why the back is the ultimate spot, limitations of other systems, and aligning your body to maintain hooks and control.
  • Straitjacket & Arm Control: Transition into and refine the straitjacket, head-trap fundamentals, solving alignment and pinned-arm problems, and protective mechanics.
  • Strategic Principles: Neutrality, primacy, percentage, hidden hand, default & hierarchy principles—how to apply them to every back attack.
  • Grip Systems: Underarm side, direct/indirect grips, neck penetration, and new strangling mechanics that maximize leverage.
  • Auxiliary Attacks: One-handed and mandible strangles, overarm-side methods, rear triangle, reverse top lock, cross-body ride, and leg attacks.
  • Hook Entries: Establishing hooks, foot & knee entries, near-side entries, and rolling entries to secure and transition off the back.
  • Live Application: Controlled drills and sparring strategies to pressure-test escapes and attacks with safety and efficiency.

John Danaher’s back-attack system has produced submission rates over 80% in elite competition. Now you can master the very methods that Gordon Ryan, Garry Tonon, and Georges St. Pierre rely on to dominate from the back.
