FlowChart - The Fastest Way To Increase Your Submission Percentage (No Gi) by John Danaher

DANAHER'S BACK ATTACK SYSTEM ON ONE PAGE

This FlowChart is not a substitute for the DVD. It's a study aid to help you learn John Danaher's instructional The Fastest Way: To Increase Your Submission Percentage (No Gi) from BJJ Fanatics: you watch the DVD, the FlowChart helps you understand and remember it. The DVD is sold separately on BJJFanatics.com.

Let me ask you a question. You're stuck under mount, framing on his hips. What's your plan? And if he gets the underhook as you escape? Same plan? It shouldn't be.

If you're like all of us, after 92 chapters and over 10 hours of video, the answers blur together. You need a map to connect all the dots.

(Danaher's answer from under mount, by the way: Elbow Escape to the Back. Capture his knee, elbow to his armpit, heist on your knees. It's right there on the chart.)

WHAT YOU GET

One PDF FlowChart covering all 8 volumes (92 chapters, over 10 hours of video):

• 15 starting positions: from the Front Headlock, Butterfly and Half Guard to Mount Defense, Leg Entanglements and Turtle, each with its own START
• 98 technique cards (46 Moves, 24 Back Takes, 10 Controls, 18 Submissions), 30 reactions and 17 positions, linked by arrows: what he does, what you do next
• 4 theory cards with 7 short sections, like The 3 Gateways to the Back and Understanding the Problem
• The volume and time on every technique card and theory section, like "DVD 7 - 19:03", from all 8 volumes
• A color code for Moves, Back Takes, Controls and Submissions, plus Series, Reactions / Conditions, Positions and Links
• One target everywhere: his back. All 24 Back Takes end there, and most Moves get you to Turtle first

It's for you if you have the instructional (or plan to get it) and want to finish more opponents in no-gi: take the back from everywhere, keep it and finish with a strangle. Not for you if you want to learn without the videos: there's no video inside.

TAKE THE BACK, KEEP IT, FINISH

Fifteen STARTs, one target: his back. The colors tell the story: Moves and Back Takes get you there, Controls keep you there, Submissions finish the job.

Moves
Go-behinds from the Front Headlock, arm drags from open guard, escapes from under Mount and Side Control. Danaher's simple rule: if you can see the back, you can take the back. Cards include Far Side Arm Drag (DVD 2 - 10:02) and Kipping Escape to Take the Back (DVD 4 - 39:21).

Back Takes
From open guard, Half Guard, Closed Guard, Mount, Side Control, Leg Entanglements and Turtle, every cream card has one job: take his back. Cards include Double Underhooks Back Take (DVD 3 - 51:23) and Taking the Back from Ashi Garami (DVD 5 - 30:07).

Controls
Once you have his back, keep it. Upper body control is more important than lower body control, and the minimum amount of control is diagonal control: one hip and the opposite shoulder. Cards include Claw Grip (DVD 6 - 28:18) and Classic Back Retention Drill (DVD 7 - 09:32).

Submissions
The rear strangle and its variations, then Kata Gatame, the North South Strangle and the Rear Triangle. When he defends, remember: he has a primary and a secondary defensive hand, and the goal is to get your strangle hand behind his trap. Cards include Straight Jacket Method (DVD 7 - 52:41) and Palm to Palm Strangle (DVD 7 - 35:51).

EVERY CARD POINTS TO ITS MOMENT

Each technique card gives the volume and the time where the technique starts. DVD 7 - 19:03 means Volume 7, at 19 minutes 3 seconds: Finishing Mechanics of Rear Strangle.

Want to see Hiza Guruma Arm Drag again? DVD 2 - 16:44. Don't waste time searching for a technique you think you saw on DVD 2 somewhere...

WHY A MAP?

You might be thinking: "It looks cool, but is it that helpful?"

Yes. It makes a real difference. Hours of video give you the pieces. The FlowChart shows you how they connect: he does this, you do that. That's what you need when he turns away, slides down or gets to four points.

And it's not just me saying it. A 2018 review of 142 study results, with almost 12,000 learners, found that learning with concept maps beats the other ways of studying it was compared with, in science and non-science subjects alike.

Here's how to get the most out of it:

• Before you watch a volume, look over its part of the chart, so you know where each clip fits.
• After training, cover a branch, say the next move out loud, then check.
• Make it yours: add your own notes on the PDF. The same review found that building the map yourself helps even more.

ON SCREEN OR ON YOUR WALL

The FlowChart is one big PDF page in English: 208 × 100 cm (82 × 40 in).

• Computer or tablet: the best way. Zoom in anywhere and the text stays sharp. It's real text, so you can search it too.
• Phone: pinch to zoom, for a quick look before class.
• Print: go big. Ask a print shop for an A0 poster at the smallest, or a full-size print (208 × 100 cm). On A1, 24 × 36 in or a home printer, the text is too small to read.

QUESTIONS

Are videos included?
No. The FlowChart is a study aid for John Danaher's DVD, not a substitute: you need the DVD from BJJ Fanatics to learn the techniques.

Can I get a refund?
It's a digital download, so all sales are final (see the Refund Policy). Trouble with the file? Send me a message and I'll sort it out.
