Feet To Floor Bundle by John Danaher: BJJ Stand-Up System Bundle

What it teaches

Feet To Floor Bundle is positioned as John Danaher’s BJJ-specific approach to taking the match from standing to the ground, with attention to takedown selection, standing game planning, stance, gripping, kuzushi, position, guard pulling, and countering guard pulls.

The course material shown in the snapshot includes detailed gi-oriented grip work and throwing entries, including kenka-yotsu and ai-yotsu strategy, collar drag mechanics, ankle picks, doubles, singles, snap-downs, rear body-lock takedowns, and self-defense takedown rules.

Our assessment: this is best understood as a stand-up decision-making and takedown curriculum for grapplers, not just a list of throws. The recurring topics are stance, gripping, off-balancing, front/rear takedown families, and how BJJ rules change stand-up choices.

Curriculum overview

Who it is for

The page targets Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling students who find standing techniques difficult, risky to train incorrectly, or too dependent on importing judo and wrestling without BJJ-specific adaptation.

Consider it if you want a structured stand-up plan for gi-oriented BJJ exchanges: grip scenarios, lapel and cuff controls, collar drags, ankle picks, and guard-pull/counter-guard-pull situations all appear repeatedly in the listed curriculum.

It may also suit grapplers who want standing material that includes self-defense constraints, because the later sections discuss takedown choices around strikes, clothing, space, remaining on the feet, and rear-position entries.

Prerequisites

The source says the bundle is intended for athletes of any level, while the curriculum itself begins with foundational standing elements such as stance, gripping, grip breaking, kuzushi, and minimum standing requirements.

Our suggested prerequisite is not a rank but training context: have a partner, coach supervision, and safe breakfall/takedown practice available before trying to build volume, because the product page itself notes that standing work can be dangerous when trained incorrectly.

Format and gi/no-gi status

The supplied format field is unverified. The lesson titles strongly indicate gi material in many sections through lapel, cuff, collar, kenka-yotsu/ai-yotsu, and cross-grip work; one lesson explicitly compares single legs in gi and no-gi.

Buyers who primarily train no-gi may want to consider whether they want a curriculum with substantial clothing-grip content. Some principles and takedown families may transfer, but the supplied snapshot does not verify this as a no-gi course.

The product page states that the course can be streamed or downloaded in the BJJ Fanatics app, but current access terms should be checked on the seller page at purchase time.

Strengths

A major strength is the emphasis on standing precursor skills before techniques: stance, stance relationships, grip purpose, grip breaking, movement, kuzushi, and position are all listed before the deeper takedown modules.

The curriculum gives repeated technical pathways into BJJ-relevant lower-body attacks, especially ankle picks, doubles, singles, and knee picks, including grip entries, stance contexts, combinations, and troubleshooting.

Another useful feature is the bridge between front attacks and rear attacks: the listed material includes collar drag relationships to the single leg and back, plus rear body-lock control and multiple reverse takedown options.

Limitations

The biggest limitation in the supplied research is bundle clarity: the page says it contains all sections of three Feet To Floor volumes, but the detailed chapter list supplied to us is not separated into all three complete products.

Buy less decisively if you need a purely no-gi wrestling-style course. The shown curriculum has extensive lapel, cuff, collar, and clothing-grip references, and the supplied format status is unverified.

It may also be too broad if you only want one narrow standing skill, such as collar ties or underhooks. The verified outline ranges from stance and grips to guard pulls, rear takedowns, and self-defense.

Suggested study order

Our suggested order is to start with the opening framework: takedown selection, standing game plan, stance, left/right stance relationships, power hand/control hand, and grip breaking. These topics define the situations that later techniques depend on.

Next, build one front-attack lane rather than sampling everything. A practical path is collar drag plus ankle pick, because the listed curriculum connects collar drag to the single leg and back, and treats ankle picks as overlapping with ground grappling and guard pulls.

After that, add single legs, doubles, snap-downs, and rear body-lock finishes, then study guard-pull counters and self-defense material as separate applications rather than mixing every branch into live rounds at once.

Bundle or individual course?

The product is sold as a bundle and the page states that it combines three Feet To Floor instructional series, with all 8 sections of Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3 included.

Consider the bundle if you want the whole standing progression in one purchase decision: fundamentals, takedown mechanics, guard-pull interface, and self-defense topics are all represented in the supplied snapshot.

If you only need one isolated module, such as collar drag or ankle pick, the supplied data does not include verified individual component handles to compare against the bundle; confirm individual availability on the seller page before choosing.

Alternatives to consider

Gordon Ryan’s Systematically Attacking The Scrimmage: Beginners Guide To Success is the more concept-and-defense-oriented alternative in the supplied comparisons, with topics like posture, distance management, gripping theory, shot defense, rolling, and rolling commentary.

Consider the Beginners Guide instead if your immediate problem is surviving and organizing the standing phase rather than building a large gi-grip takedown curriculum. Feet To Floor shows many named attacks and grip-specific entries; the Beginners Guide emphasizes broadly applicable standing concepts.

Gordon Ryan’s Systematically Attacking The Scrimmage: Upper Body Takedowns is the more focused alternative for no-gi-style upper-body tie systems, with collar ties, overties, underhooks, overhooks, two-on-ones, arm drags, rear body locks, and rolling commentary.

Consider Upper Body Takedowns if you specifically want tie-based attacks rather than Danaher’s broader Feet To Floor bundle, which also includes lapel/cuff grip fighting, ankle picks, guard-pull integration, and self-defense selection rules.

Purchase guidance

Consider purchasing if your main gap is the standing-to-ground transition in BJJ and you want a large curriculum that begins with stance and gripping, then expands into takedown families, guard-pull interactions, and self-defense filters.

Before buying, confirm the current seller page for exact bundle contents, format, and access terms. The supplied source includes broad bundle claims and app access language, but product pages can change after research.
