John Danaher Go Further Faster Bundle: Contents & Buying Guide

What is Go Further Faster?

John Danaher’s Go Further Faster bundle teaches fundamentals across major areas of gi jiu-jitsu. Advertised areas include guard retention, pin escapes, and half guard.

Consider thinking of this as a study library: choose a current training problem, find its place in the curriculum, and work through a manageable section. Buying a broad collection does not create a training plan by itself. The reason to consider this bundle is the connection between its topics, not simply the amount of material.

What courses are included?

Who should consider the bundle?

For a newer gi student, consider beginning with escapes and guard retention as study priorities rather than attempting the whole collection at once. The included fundamentals topics make the bundle relevant to that learning goal, but having material available is different from having the coaching feedback needed to use it.

For an experienced student, consider a gap-based approach. If you already have a passing game but struggle to retain guard or escape pins, those areas may justify deeper study. The word fundamentals describes the subject matter here; it should not be treated as evidence that every lesson is easy or that every advanced student needs the entire bundle.

Hobbyists and competitors may both use a positional study plan, but consider choosing based on the situations you actually train. This guide cannot establish that the collection is better for one competition rule set or that it produces a particular performance result.

What should you know before starting?

The product is presented as gi fundamentals. Consider using it alongside regular instruction and a partner who can help you reproduce the positions safely. That is a practical study recommendation, not a seller-stated prerequisite or a claim that a particular belt rank is required.

Consider choosing a small practical goal before buying: escaping a pin, retaining guard against a familiar pass, or connecting a pass to a stable top position. The course list can help identify where to look, but you still need feedback on which problem matters most for your training.

Is Go Further Faster gi or no-gi?

The product description identifies the curriculum as gi jiu-jitsu fundamentals. Its course list includes Strangles & Turtle Breakdowns, and its chapters include cross collar strangles.

If you mainly train without the gi, consider comparing a specifically documented no-gi course before committing to this collection. Some positional ideas may be relevant across formats, but this guide does not verify which lessons transfer or how much of the material depends on grips.

What makes the curriculum useful?

The breadth may help a gi student connect defensive and offensive study. Escapes, guard retention, guard positions, passing, pins, and turtle attacks are listed as parts of the same bundle. Consider using those connections to build a study path around how one position leads to another, rather than using the purchase as a checklist to finish.

The detailed public lesson list may also make the product easier to assess before purchase. For example, the mount-escape section separates bridging and elbow-escape material. Consider checking the lesson names against a problem you can describe clearly; that is more useful than deciding from the instructor’s name alone.

Who should skip it or buy less?

Consider skipping the full bundle if you need only one narrow area of study. The included titles span several distinct positional problems, so a single relevant course may fit your immediate goal better. This is a question of intended use, not a verified claim that the individual option is currently cheaper.

The scope may be overwhelming if your study plan is simply to start at the beginning and watch everything. Consider setting a practice goal and returning to the relevant material as needed. Breadth is a tradeoff: a larger library offers more choices, but it also asks you to decide what to leave for later.

We do not assess the teaching pace or presentation quality from the curriculum alone. If delivery style is decisive for you, consider a current preview or other firsthand evidence before purchasing. A course list can establish the advertised subjects; it cannot establish how engaging you will find the instruction.

Our suggested order for studying Go Further Faster

Consider a defensive starting block: Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes, then Guard Retention. Work on one recurring escape or retention problem alongside your usual training. This sequence reflects our suggested priorities, not a verified official viewing order.

Next, consider the guard position that you actually reach most often: half guard, closed guard, or open guard. There is no need to force all three into the same study block. Consider choosing based on your training situations and asking your coach which part best supports your current development.

For top-position study, consider Passing the Guard followed by Half Guard Passing and Dynamic Pins. Add the Strangles & Turtle Breakdowns material when its situations fit your training goals. This is a proposed organizational path through the listed subjects, not evidence that the bundle must be watched in this order.

How long is Go Further Faster?

The archived curriculum lists volumes across the included courses, but consider treating total runtime as unverified. The timestamps do not consistently establish the end of each volume: adding a final chapter’s start time would leave its remaining material uncounted.

Consider estimating your commitment from the study block you intend to practice, rather than an unverified total runtime. A precise duration can be added later if complete endpoint or runtime data becomes available; until then, it should remain an explicitly unknown figure.

Should you buy the bundle or individual courses?

Consider the bundle if several of the listed courses match your goals and you expect to return to a connected gi curriculum over time. Before purchasing, consider writing down which included areas you will actually use. That makes the decision about your intended study, rather than the appeal of owning a complete set.

Consider an individual course if one problem dominates your current training. Guard retention or pin escapes may be easier to turn into a focused study block than the whole collection. Consider comparing the current bundle offer and the relevant individual offer directly; this page does not assert a current savings amount.

What should you compare it with?

Consider Pin Escapes & Turtle Escapes if escaping bad positions is your immediate priority. Its focused defensive curriculum offers a narrower study block than the bundle’s combined escapes, guard work, and passing material.

Consider Guard Retention if opponents are passing your guard before you establish offense. Its published curriculum focuses on retaining guard against passing and pinning. The full bundle makes more sense when escapes, guard offense, and top-position study also match your goals.

A practical decision before you buy

Consider buying based on a specific training need, the included subjects you expect to use, and the seller’s current offer. Check the live product page for price, access details, and purchase terms rather than relying on a historical price repeated in an article.

Consider asking your coach which positional problem to study first, then compare that answer with the bundle’s course list. If you can name several areas you will practice, the collection may fit your plan. If you can name only one, consider starting with a focused comparison of that course.
