Thanks for watching 5 Key Lessons from Training with John Danaher - Sport
You have to understand this about John Danaher....he's not married, no girlfriend, no kids, doesn't own an academy, no responsibilities other than jiu jitsu, is insanely intelligent, a workaholic and truly obsessed with jiu jitsu. In addition, he's been teaching for almost 30 years. He literally studies it 16 hours a day and has been doing this schedule forever. There is no one on the planet that is even remotely on his level of coaching. He's a once in a lifetime coach that is contributing to no gi like no one else. My utmost respect.
I agree with you but John danaher has elected to become a jiujitsu shaman/sage/priest and he is willing to take a vow from this world to be who he is which is an amazing commitment
@@anecetohernandez137 Oh, absolutely! He's more committed to increasing the level of JJ than anyone. If you were put in a time capsule in 2010 and watched some of the ADCC Trials this year, JJ would be almost unrecognizable to you. 10 years from now, the highest level grappling today will seem basic. Like I said, he's a once in a lifetime type of JJ coach.
That man is weird af but he's a genius the Einstein of jujitsu
He actually studies all martial arts just like he studies jiu jitsu
Saying there is no in the world that can coach like him is quite the exaggeration. He’s great don’t get me wrong, but there are others who are just as fantastic if not more, I train under Rener and Ryron Gracie in Torrance and those two are about as expert level as it gets as teachers/coaches, and they got it from the source.
“ can you take your beating with a little bit of dignity” such an important lesson in the Bjj journey
I was following you and john for diametrically opposite reasons…john obviously for his competition proof technique and you for the beauty and effortless jiu jitsu….i always ttought that his beautiful mind and your philosophy will match….
Im happy you met
And big respect for you for your humbleness…
If you came to visit Luxembourg we will be happy to receive you in our class
Hi from Degerheim. Palstreet Jiu Jitsu
This might be the best video. From me (a new black belt) to see a fourth degree be excited to learn like a white belt, seek knowledge and also encourage students to do so is refreshing. "Take your beating with a little bit of dignity" 👏
It’s incredible to learn what someone at your level takes away after attending these classes. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video! Bravo. It is rare to see a seasoned black belt give credit in such a humble fashion. This was very motivating. Thank you!
There are some instructionals I can play in the background and multi-task. With John's instructionals, I find myself having to actively take notes. He has such a cerebral/intellectual approach to explaining things. It might seem daunting at first, but over time I grew to love it. You're so on point about how he explains the "why". Thanks Roy!
Your content has helped me through my bjj journey! I’m currently a purple belt, and your instructional videos give me a lot to think about. Im excited to dig into this video too. Thanks from Minnesota!
Happy to help!
dude spangler tapped you

It's beautiful to hear how you can always grow only to feel like a white belt again. the game is neverending
Easy life! Live near the dojo, train 1-2 times a day, eat great food, absorb as much knowledge as possible, stretch and move - this is exactly my training schedule in Brazil for 2.5 months ❤
Thanks for coming Roy, you were awesome to have at Renzos!
Professor Dean, thank you for your candid narrative of your experience training with Professor Harris and Professor Danaher. I agree that Danaher is a new- wave Jujitsu instructor who specializes in the Jujitsu mechanics! In sort, as you coined the phrase “ Jujitsu mechanics specialist.” I see Danaher revers engineering the training incrementally.
You are wise to continue training and adding to your knowledge of Jujitsu!
Thank for sharing!
Coach AL
Mr. Dean! Awesome video. It's humbling to see you talk about training with JD like a student still hungry for the art!
Professor Dean, I appreciate the insights. You touched on something that hits close to home. After years of black belt responsibilities, being immersed in the art ect. The spark of excitement from having epiphanies on a regular basis can become less common as experience increases. There is so much excitement, constantly in the first decade of paradigm expansion.
And how beautiful it is when we can provide the potential for others to experience that fire.
But the fact is: The quest for wisdom only ends when we settle into the stasis of routine. Have the adventure! Onwards!
Thank you 🙏🏼 👊🏼
This jsut assures one thing I love about your videos. This especially showing how open minded you are to outside perspectives and others journey with bjj.
How I miss Danaher training in the Blue basement, his knowledge is outstanding.
Great feedback from your trip. I flipped when I had seen you training on Instagram. As slick as your jitz is, it's takes a big man at your level to admit you are still at the beginning of the path in some ways.
The fight that burns twice as light , burns half as long ! 😢
Really love your positive perspective. Humble, open for learning and allow/foster this to your own students as well.
Not to mention to share knowledge on the internet as well. Really great content.
Thank you!
Always loved your content since beginning Jiu Jitsu. I’m 4 years in and still appreciate all you do for the sport. Thanks for your thoughts on training with John!
Great 👍🏼 video - Danaher and Harris are undoubtedly Masters and so are you…your style brings a certain smoothness, eloquence, and efficiency that is unique. Your teachings strike a perfect balance between being complete without extraneous explanation in my humble opinion.
I have been following you for over 10 years. Always recommend to white belts your videos over all others. I make sure I get my dvds back when I loan them out lol. To hear you continue to learn and be humble is truly amazing. You are truly are great ambassador and practitioner of this great art. Much respect professor Dean
thank you for your transparency and humility
Awesome video. Some of my favorite training memories over the years are taking trips to places for training. B-Team. Fifty/50. Paragon. Etc. It's super inspiring to train with great folks in other places, and it's super eye opening. Great to feel different people, learn different styles, get exposed to different cultures, and meet new friends. Glad you had a great time!
Thank you. I'm always learning how much more there is to learn.
Well having watched you over the years listening to your humble assessment was Bliss.
You have inspired me to keep on the path gracias!
Very inspirational story and thoughts you shared. Thank you Sir.
Great stuff Roy! #4 came to mind as soon as the first few minutes started. Thanks for sharing the journey.
Loved this video. Was cool to see the joy of your experience.
Always enjoy your videos. They're the ones I most return to. Gracias
Thank You for your knowledge. I am a brown belt. I have a long way to go. Oss
So much respect for you, Roy. Been watching your channel since the beginning, and hearing somone as accomplished as you are, speak so humbly about another coach is super inspiring.
Awesome video. Love your style and content. Super humble.
I watched this whole thing. Beautiful insight Roy. Appreciate the video!
Amazing video, experience and perspective! The teacher that will always be the students. The endless journey. See you soon Roy!
Appreciate this greatly. Thank you for the candid, thoughtful, respectful, and vivid account of your experience with one of the great minds of grappling and combat martial arts. Definitely feeling inspired and motivated to take a similar approach in the near future.
As a new blue belt. I needed to hear that last part
Always a treat to watch your content! It blows my mind how talented, knowledgeable and humble you are at your level! I’ve read your books and use your blue belt fundamentals dvd constantly. I am a blue belt now but I still feel like a white belt and will continue to refer back well into the future! Please come to Virginia Beach, Virginia! Would love to meet you and attend a seminar if you are able to make that happen!
So love to see you and eddie bravo
Awesome video! I feel inspired to make the trip. Hope to attend one of your seminars once I'm a blue belt.
Excellent! Thanks, Roy!
👊🏻🤙🏻🥋
I like your home decor setup, you have great taste
nice to watch your feedback ... i really like to improve my bjj , john D and you are both top teachers that everyone should watch and listen ... thank you Mr Dean
Very inspiring. Thank you!

Awesome video Professor would be great to have you back at the Academy next time you’re in Monterey
Thanks professor !
Awesome video my friend!
Loved having you brother! Come again 💪
Great content, sir! 🙏
Great video
Thank you very much ❤
I've already been in contact with Renzo staff and this popped up on my feed!! Definitely planning to spend 2 or 3 weeks there. Hoping to get out there around August or September. Travelling from London. After watching this video I'm tempted to bring the trip forward 😂😂.
Do it! I've been to Renzo in Austin and trained with Danaher. It was an amazing experience!
@@IsaacS-bi3vp how long were you there for?
Great share! Oss
BJJ is all about attendance.
It gets easier when you show up more often.
It's easy to see the theory,but it's hard to apply it when rolling.
I like masters who shows you the set ups when rolling,like this you can build your rolling IQ easy.
Thanks for a great review. Was there a Gi class or just No-Gi?
This video is wholesome af
Hey. Great video! I was actually there at the same time as you! I'm in the video and I think I met you but didn't realize it was you. So cool! Where is the other video you referenced?
You can find it here: czcams.com/video/EHCQtK0Ir50/video.htmlsi=mRq83aGMsA1vUSkQ
John Danaher is the Kasparov of BJJ!
Danaher is a jiu jitsu scientist, engineer, and philosopher.
"He's not easy on his ukes" LOL
-Can you do a drop in class and how much is it?
Have you herd of Hick's Law?
What's that
@@samrogers2282 Its all about the amount of choices you have. The more choices or options, the longer it takes to make a decision.
💐
OSS!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How does it work for people to train with John danaher ?
Will be in Austin in the summer for at least a week.
Thanks in advance to whoever answers this question 🙏🏻
💵
15 minutes 25 seconds in. Could you shed a little bit more light on hands, feet, and back. Possibly in a video please and thank you
And how would you structuralize lies and conceptualize this! I'm a huge fan, I've been following you since I was a white belt, now 15 years later I'm still at it, study, train, repeat! Thank you so much professor!
My first impressions I get from this guy is that he's a bit camp... maybe for Danaher himself...
Love to roll with this guy... would be interested to see whether his leg lock game is as good as my kimura
