5 Tips To Pass ANY Guard by John Danaher

Overview

John Danaher breaks down five foundational principles for passing any guard. The system emphasizes preserving posture and base, systematically breaking the opponent's connection points, managing distance relative to anatomical lines, creating mechanical advantages from neutral positions, and prioritizing hip control before attacking the head. Each principle is paired with specific body mechanics, grip breaks, and footwork to neutralize common guard retention strategies.
