This actually opens up a much worse position than the mount — the back. Once again, establishing rotational control over the shoulder girdle is your main priority.
A key back take from the bottom is via an arm drag. You can use the arm drag to get the back from closed guard, butterfly guard, half guard and a bunch of other bottom positions. It works by pulling your opponent to the side with the help of a two-on-one grip on their arm. The idea is to you get behind the opponent by pulling them completely to one of your sides. The submission you can readily get from back control is a choke. It may be a rear-naked choke, a forearm choke or any variation of a collar choke.
If you want a move to work on everyone, regardless of skill or size, you need to learn how to strangle form back control. Provided you did everything right, of course. The way this strangle works is by putting pressure on both carotid arteries in your neck.
Once you cut off oxygen supply the brain shuts down in just seconds. The goal is to have your elbow right below the chin of an opponent. This places your biceps on one artery and your forearm on the other. The second arm just secures everything in place with a figure four grip and a wedge behind the neck.
Collar chokes work in the same way, only you use the Gi to put pressure on one or both carotid arteries. At least not this one. Getting and controlling the back is not easy. Finishing is also nothing hard in particular. However, making the small transition from back control to a choke is the hardest part of attacking. Why is this such a difficult thing than? The same goes on with hand fighting form the back. The road from seatbelt control to a rear-naked choke is a short one but filled with ever-revolving obstacles.
As proficient as you might be at taking the back and even finishing, you might face real trouble when attempting to get the choke. So, why exactly does John Danaher dabble with a back system? He revolutionized leg locks before only see as quick and opportunistic submissions, into a system based on control.
Now, he takes an already established control system and provides even more options from there. On top of everything else, he also fixes most back attacking conundrums grapplers usually face. You can expect a well organized, methodical approach to back control. Just like in the Leg locks release. However, it all builds up with a purpose. It is going to plug every hole you have in your back system as well as provide you with more knowledge you could ever have hoped for.
Most of the Danaher Death Squad and Gordon Ryan, in particular, have already used the system in competition. Just like with leg locks, people were trying to understand it through analysis.
Just like with leg locks, they failed. Now, Danaher comes out to break it al step by step helping us never to lose back control again! The upcoming John Danaher DVD offers you the best way to attack from an even better control system than before. The Straight Jacket system is based on not allowing your opponent to turn into you on either side. To that extent, he gets a very specific one-on-one wrist grip.
In order to maximize upper body control, Danaher likes to use a very interesting concept I never knew existed. He likes to use the elbows of his arms, under and over the shoulder on each side respectively. This gives him the utmost level fo control while still leaving this forearms quite mobile to attack and hand fight. Another major groundbreaking concept is diagonal control.
The solution is as simple as getting a hook in on their hips. For maximum effect, this needs to be the hook on the opposite side of the grip you have. That quickly changed once Danaher went on the Je Rogan podcast, amazing everyone. Now, in just a few short months, there are four DVD instructionals featuring unrestricted information about the most effective BJJ systems available today. The thing about Danaher is, that people knew him exclusively as the leg lock genius behind the Danaher Death Squad.
Turns out that the New Zealander is actually a true, walking BJJ encyclopedia that is mesmerizing to watch. However, his following instructionals, featuring back attacks, front headlocks and Kimuras are also impressive. Well, it seems we all have a lot more to learn…. For those that manage to go through all his material, and apply it in training and competition, there are no limits.
Picking up the John Danaher DVD collection is the best way of obtaining knowledge directly from the source, bar going for privates at the blue basement in NY. On the other hand, acquiring the collection is a guaranteed way of getting integral information about some of the core positions in BJJ the sport of Jiu-Jitsu.
You could be a brand new student or a black belt. Although, to be fair to new students, expect to be a bit lost until you get a bit more experience under your belt. While Danaher explains everything down to the smallest detail and repeats things often, he does approach his teachings with the notion that you have the basic principles of Jiu-Jitsu down.
For example, everything he demonstrates works with the Gi just as well as without it. It is the power of the conceptual approach Danaher takes in his DVD instructionals.
Calling his instructionals Enter the system is probably the best possible title for the collection. He really presents everything organized into large systems, all of which have subsystems.
Furthermore, the method of approach is one that is not very common in BJJ. Instead of focusing on how to do a technique against your opponent, Danaher puts a large emphasis on what the common problems with each position and move are. Moreover, he goes on to develop sound solutions to each of those problems, thus creating a very efficient and foolproof game. Both the presentation and overall approach to subjects differ, depending on the subject.
However, Danaher still manages to connect everything into one large game plan. You could even say that he has the one real Jiu-Jitsu masterplan. Technically speaking, all 32 DVDs are perfect. After the unfortunate release of the first leg looks DVD, which was a real disaster in terms of audio and video quality, all subsequent have been flawless.
As meticulous as he is, Danaher also released improved verso of the Leg Locks instructional. Normally, this means that all four parts of the John Danaher DVD collection are pristine in terms of production. One of the best grappling and BJJ coaches in the World will teach you the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and all the important concepts. Trought this Bundle you will learn how to keep your guard, and how to escape from bad positions with more techniques than ever.
Study the most successful ways how to attack and think about the half guard, closed guard, and open guard. Learning and understanding the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the biggest keys to success.
During all this fame, John managed to keep everything in-house without a single video coming out. Not him nor his star students ever gave up their secrets before his DVD emerged. To be honest, it is even more important than anyone thought. The first eye-catching characteristic was the length of the instructional. However, he really did explain his compete system in its entirety. The instructional is very carefully structured, with the first couple of DVDs focusing only on philosophy, mechanics, and basic principles.
Only later-on do the actual submissions start. Even then, Danaher covers all Ashi Garami positions and available attacks first, before going into entries.
He also offers a transitional system that links all these positions together. Plus, he leaves strategic openings that allow links with the other DVDs. The subject was one that nobody really thought had more to offer than what we already know. Danaher proved everyone wrong, though. His straight jacket system is as revolutionary as his Ashi Garami system. Plus, he offers so many auxiliary systems that this DVD will make you re-think your complete approach to the back mount.
To begin with, Danaher again covers the basics first. It is all about the principles and goals of the back mount position. On top of it, Danaher explains his philosophy and systematization of all the possibilities this position offers. Coinciding with the release of this DVD was the increased use of this position by his students.
Danaher goes over his famous Straight Jacket back attacks system in detail, dedicating two whole DVDs to it. This is where his knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu truly becomes apparent.
