In this newest installment of Professor John Danaher’s blockbuster “Feet To Floor” series, learn how to master all of the most effective and important throws for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and start attacking your opponents and training partners with real technique and strategy from standing.

In this second installment, start learning all the keys and methods to throwing with techniques like the tomoe nage, kouchi gari, sumi gaeshi, and more. Across these eight volumes, Professor John Danaher shows each one in exact detail, showing you gripping, movement, and mechanics to getting the most leverage into every attack.

In this volume of “Feet To Floor”, these judo moves can finally be understood fully, in a more direct and useful way. Throw opponents to the floor with techniques that already work as sweeps, with tomoe nage, yoko tomoe nage, and sumi gaeshi. Keep opponents moving (and falling) with foot sweeps like the de ashi harai, kouchi gari, and sasae tsuri komi ashi. All these and more are broken into their important details for you to study with John.

Professor Danaher’s goal for the “Feet To Floor” series is to revolutionize the way jiu-jitsu practitioners see the standing position and to fit their styles to the sport. By using classic judo techniques that have high strategic value, you can supercharge your game with John’s whole new outlook on the standing position.

Most BJJ practitioners are weakest in the standing position because they don’t have the knowledge or time to improve these positions, but every fight starts on the feet and you must have some skill there. Now, you can learn from the most sought after coach in the world as he fixes your game with the most thorough coaching possible.
