New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Side Attacks
A high-level, position-driven system for crushing side control, chaining submissions, and maintaining control transitions.

Course Overview

John Danaher brings his “new wave” approach to side control, transforming it from a static pin into a strategic, submission-ready platform. This series lays out a multi-volume system focused on using side control as an attacking hub—moving efficiently between control, submission setups, and dominant positional transitions.

What You’ll Learn

• Positional Foundations & Control Mechanics: Heavy frames and grips, hip escape neutralization, chest pressure, underhook control, knee wedges, cross-face variations, and transitions between side control variations.
• Submission Chains & Transitions: Connecting kimuras, Americanas, arm triangles, top-front chokes, timing-based setups, escape-catching, and fluid attack sequencing.
• Leg Finishes & Knee-on-Belly Entries: Leg lace, straight ankle locks, toe holds from side control, tactical knee-on entries, and leveraging lower-body dominance.
• Dedicated Half & Reverse Side Control Options: Transitions into reverse side control, leg entanglements, positional resets, and high/low pressure combinations.
• Live Rolling Strategy & Flow: Realistic demonstrations, grip and mindset adjustments on-the-fly, mistake correction, and decision-making analysis under resistance.

Who Should Train With It

• Practitioners aiming to master side control as an offensive position.
• Grapplers wanting dynamic transitions between control and submissions.
• Anyone looking to leverage side control for leg attacks, reversals, and dominant resets.

Key Benefits

• Strategic Framework: Clear positional intentions from frame to finish.
• Submission Chaining: Seamless upper- and lower-body attack sequences.
• Adaptive Training: Live rolling drills for real-world application.
