BJJ Fanatics was started by a pair of black belts (Bernardo Faria & Michael Zenga) who feel that nothing is more important than improving your BJJ skills as much as possible in the least amount of time. Their aim was to create a shop for BJJ Students who don’t look at BJJ as a sport - but as a lifestyle.

Danaher wears only his finest rashguards to social gatherings
Tuxedo rash guard for weddings
Ah Marco, thanks for making me laugh this morning 😂✌️
That's no rashguard.. it's a tattoo, 100%.
Hahaha
why ignore 50% of his wardrobe?
“In sport jiujitsu takedowns are a choice but in fighting jiujitsu takedowns are a necessity”
John Danaher 🥋
The belt in the gi icon is red. He must be a legend.
@@MrSinusu For all he has done for the art, he should be awarded a red belt.
Keith Yeab, I can never agree with you more than now.
At the end when Danaher said that he wanted to go to the grave knowing that he has rectified the weaknesses of Jiujutsu, I couldn't help but to think he has done much more than just that. Not only has he brought leg locks to the mainstream, he has improved on the strengths of Jiujutsu in general. His fundementals series, his series of back attacks, arm bars, triangles, kimuras, strangles, and so on have increased the level of Jiujutsu. John Danaher has not only rectified the weaknesses of leg locks and turned it into one of the greatest strengths, he has also taken the already established strengths and improved upon them. Danaher has elevated Jiujutsu as a whole to new level in more than just one part, and I hope he continues to do so.
He really is so special man. A true stereotype martial arts master character.. but the real life version backed by insane results.
its just banned judo moves hes teaching
@@blist14ant That's like saying that BJJ is just sweaty men grappling with one another. Technically true, but very reductionist. It's so much more than just sweaty men grappling with each other or teaching banned judo moves.
I can’t believe how lucky we are to learn from this man. John is such a role model for myself and I truly can’t praise his contributions to our sport and combat in general enough
we live in a renaissance period for martial arts. people like us couldn't be luckier.
Marius Ipad haha this is funny. Has he ever discussed the topic?
Unfortunately, his takes outside of BJJ are... lacking.. to say the least lol
he is a proponent for his product.. easy now, youttubinboob
@@donsimons9810 yes
Danaher taking us out of the dark ages again
*some of us
Far too many schools where the 'Butt Scoot' is an acceptable primary entry method. If the general mindset were to change, it would have by now.
I am here to watch sunset with John and Bernardo 🌝
Oss
Romantic AF
How much will this set cost?
Danaher with his pinky to his mouth:"1 Million Dollars! Hahahaha"
Lmfao 😂😂😂
You know you’re talking to John Danaher if it’s daylight when you start & night when you end 😉
:D
Danaher hanging out in his suite like a boss 😂😂 American success story 👍
Must be an awesome job!
Dinomra bnb.
Danaher hanging out in *Bernardo's* suite.
New Zealand success story more like 👍
New Zealand success story? C’mon. He came to the US for a reason. So many US success stories are immigrant success stories.
Perfect Marketing, this how you create a hype, def gonna buy this dvd 📀
Take a shot every time Bernardo says "I agree."
😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was looking for this comment
Wish John had more audio about him talking about Jiu Jitsu and MMA, invaluable insights all around
If there was a 24 hour John Danaher talkathon I'd be down
After changing the jiu jitsu by developing the leg locks field John will change again the jiu jitsu with the stand up field
48:25 Here you can find John has established his grip in order to drop the guard of Bernardo. This control has 1) made Bernardo more relaxed. 2) soften his outer shell. 3) Put John in the advantageous position to win his heart later in round.
Gold! Lol
Two hours?? Hm. Well. It's Danaher. I'll watch it after work.
Hell, I'll listen to it while working at my desk !
Watching at work!
Listen at speed
2 Hrs Full of gold nuggets...dont complain
John Danaher is arguably the most impactful contributor to Jiu Jitsu of our era.
I’ve been training for 2 and a half years and I learned how to escape mount successfully from him. Of all my training in the academy nobody explained nor taught the mechanics of the mount escape like John.
We’re blessed to be alive while he is.
Do you mainly use the mount escape and elbow escape where the ankle trap isn’t required?
Danaher Self Defense series…we need this now! Was just wondering seeing about something like this. Hope it’s not too far away in the future.
2 hours! I'll just tell my secretary to hold my calls for the rest of the day... 😂
Thank the jiu jitsu gods this man exists
we are so lucky to have him in our art
I love the 'by the way, GSP is one of my students' flex card. So bad ass. Haha.
@Marius Ipad where did GPS learn wrestling from, my GPS always take me school.......I think it's broken though
Blessed John, Patron Saint of Strategy, please show favor upon us with your self defense takedown series. This is something I think about often.
JD video lesson on street fighting is a life contribution to modern human kind
please, make it happen ... and let him talk, a lot
This really is a full, comprehensive discussion on what sounds like a great system. Always a good sign that this is a real, authentic chat when noticing it's daylight at the start and night-time by the end..
Excellent. John I think even in Judo we waist a lot of training time. Throws don't have to be long term projects. I think with spesialized training/focus one can become effective much faster than most think.
What would you change with the way Judo is usually taught?
Awesome. I always wondered why there was never much training in the stand up.
Now I know, and I'm excited to get educated.
Looking forward to this
During this video, you can see how time flies by looking out the window and seeing how it goes from mid-day bright to mid-night dark.
Make a series with John Danaher on how not to get injured in BJJ, especially for beginners. Thank you very much.
This entire series is injury prevention. If you’re in a better technical position than opponent, no injuries.
Then after that, a series on how to walk on water, and turn water into wine!
John has said before that most injuries in jiu jitsu come from uncontrolled falling weight
lol just do as everyone go roll be carefull and don't overthink things like that. Weird to need an instructional for everything
Do Not JUMP guard for example :D
Thanks you both for the wealth of information and for hearing your perspectives on takedowns and the differences From BJJ and other forms of grappling in terms of takedowns
I can watch him talk 24 hours a day, and by every 10 minutes he refreshes my mind.
I agree that Bernardo says “i agree” every 30 seconds on the clock
Sounds like Danaher has been watching his Penn State wrestling matches.
Well, standing takedowns, judo or wrestling style, is something you should learn early, and it takes years to master. That is why I always recommend small kids to begin with Judo.
very intressting . john is a fantastique coach and a great story teller . i loved the stories about Kimura .
Great new series John, looking forward to it. In order for BJJ to change the stand up game the IBJJF should also change the competition rules to off set the terrible constant guard pulling. As you discussed this is not proper for self defence, tweaking the competition rules is the only way for BJJ players to invest in stand up. I come from a judo background and the IJF have made horrible rule changes to Judo with too much influence from the IOC. Both judo and bjj could improve as the rule set for both need to change for competition with an influence on self defence also.
Always awesome to see someone get smashing takedowns, especially throws that look graceful. Way more exciting than any other techniques. I love what Khabib said "Judo is class". When you know what your watching just the grip fighting can start to get you excited because you know someone going to fly. It's such a shame we don't get Olympic Judo (or wrestling) this year. :-(
I could listen to John all day. 🤷♂️
I am a 59 year old white belt at a Gracie school. The only thing I care about is self defense. I really am not interested in sport Jiu Jitsu at all. We do almost zero in the takedown department at our school. ALL I REALLY WANT TO LEARN IS BJJ FOR SELF DEFENSE, so when John comes out with that, COUNT ME IN !
Very exciting !!!
John is a mad scientist. Crazy that he cant even practice bjj anymore because of his injuries but he probably it out in his mind all in his mind then teaches it to people
Excellent interview and this series sounds exciting! I'm glad that it was mentioned that jiujitsu is primarily a club sport and many students are older and practicing recreationally. Having studied judo before BJJ, I find that, in my experience at least, a big, big barrier to getting people to train standing in BJJ, and do more than just pull guard is FEAR OF FALLING.
Not just big throws but sometimes even double legs and ankle picks, other students have said they don't like training them because they hate the falls. Not only that, in competition you're more likely to just pull guard or to hesitate on doing a takedown at the right time if the thought of getting thrown feels like risking injury to yourself because you don't have confidence in falling correctly.
So will this series cover breakfalls? I would love to see John Danaher's approach to teaching them.
I agree, the usual ways of practicing standing techniques are too rough for most people to safely and comfortably practice. But, the judo point system which rewards body slams and wrapping(makikomi) throws while landing on the receiver are only half the problem. I've developed modifications to standing techniques to make (almost) all throws safer by teaching new ways to take the fall (slapping usually doesn't help much) and new ways to protect the receiver. Throws and wrestling tactics ignore the dangers and abuses. It's possible to fix this situation though..
I very much agree with you. People, especially adults, absolutely do not like to fall or be thrown. And after awhile, they look for more gentle sports.
14:03 John's amazing sense of humor hahaaha
Awesome I love it!
A 2h talk video :D And I sat trough every single minute without it becoming boring ... not bad.
Now we need firas to put out an instructional on hitting while holding and mat returns/osaekomi for mma
When will Feet To Floor be available on BJJ Fanatics?
"Huge honor for me" :-) seriously though, What a good guy, humble, respectful. Awesome.
Great video guys, could you break down the timelines on this video? its a great video but it would help us to relisten the parts we want to due to the knowledge dropping Danaher does
Iv been saying this for a while now, since competing in catch wrestling made me realise how important takedowns are.
Its why I see catch wrestlers thriving in BJJ
Danahers best was when he played Dr evil
You can legitimately fit a 50 cent piece up there. Great man.
Heck yea! standing arm throw to arm lock ancient samurai judo style
John Danaher is a real thinker with broad vision and design on jiujitsu .
This should be titled, "How To Use Judo To Win BJJ Matches and Improve Your BJJ." This is a great conversation.
will this be all standing or mat returns and on the ground scrambles as well?
It was light outside when they started and dark when finished
Danaher rocks that Eastern European, Slavic look like a boss 😂😂
Can't unsee it now
YES!!!!
Where did JD learn judo? Judging from what I've seen he's very good, and Travis Stevens has stated that JD's judo is high-level.
Interesting--do you know where you saw Stevens comment on JD's Judo?
@@KyleBaker Some podcast
Maybe the best type of takedowns for jiujitsu are Kneeling throws or takedowns as they are in the MID-RANGE between standup and complete ground ; Kneeling takedowns give an apect of continuity between Standup and pure Ground work . As for neutralising takedowns ,any takedowns , the antidotes are in Japanese jujitsu like Arm Lever Techniques , across colar Grab ,etc..
I zoned out it was so dense. Gonna take a few listens. And im high right now so there's that too
some time markers/ time stamps would be nice, danaher drops knowledge on anything he does so it would be coo if you guys could put this on your videos
Can anyone on here tell me which Danaher videos I should start with? A review would be excellent. I’m a brown belt always looking to improve my game.
Always love to hear Danaher talking aobut judo. Anyone know where we can get Kimura's autobiography?
We don't train takedowns at my gym, so I'm looking foward to this series. White belt here, but here's my 2 cents on the future of stand up in BJJ: unless the ruleset changes to reward takedowns more, it will remain low on the priority skill for practitioners.
Leglock skill has increased because it was a weakness that could be exploited for submission victory. Takedowns are different in that there is no judo style ippon victory condition in the BJJ ruleset. They are only worth 2 points and whatever advantage that can be gained from starting from top position. As discussed in the video, learning takedowns takes considerable time and effort, so why bother learning those skills when there are no negative consequences to pulling guard? Or you could just focus on sweeping your opponent after they take you down?
Perhaps the rules could be changed so that takedowns were rewarded with more points, and/or if pulling guard were considered conceding of the takedown to your opponent, the overall meta would change to promote takedown skill development in jiu jitsu.
hm no take downs = red flag i think
@@Vscustomprinting its an mma gym, and there's a judo class that ive been meaning to try out, but havnt been able to since corona. most of the time theres barely enough space for rolling let alone stand up.
im curious, how much time does your gym devote to takdowns?
@@wati1992 i think my bjj gym teaches us a takedown every week
@@wati1992
You go to an mma gym that doesn't train takedowns? 😣
And ibjjf at least scores take downs as points or advantage possibly
@@kenwu7 not in the bjj class. there are separate judo classes and mma classes which i havent had the chance to attend yet.
This is why I'm so glad I wrestled
oss!
Fascinating video.
Does he wear rash guards 24 7?
I guess you have to, to be that insightful.
Ha so true, now that u mention it I don't think I have ever seen John in a tee shirt or tank top, its always a rash guard. I guess at his immense level you just don't ever turn it off.
He has addressed that in the past. Yes, he only wears rash guards, sweat pants, and a fanny pack.......EVERYWHERE. Including a wedding.
Oss
1:54:40 complementing that story, Wang (the young 19 yr old that then became world champion), had his career ended early for acusations of harassing girls and being undisciplined on his military service, if not he could've been regarded as one of the best all time, shows how important is discipline and a clear mind alongside great talent
Could you please share the Masahiko Kimura autobiography that you were reading? I’d love to read it.
i agree
One of the biggest issues is not working on breakfalls properly.
What is the best takedown for self defence according to Danaher...?
Is the self defence series out yet? As this was 3years ago!
pins in other arts are also valued which is also outcome dependent from the take down. doesn't really take anything away from what john is saying tho.
When is it going to be released?
I am a little confused because different sources give the sequence differently on what came first between Jujitsu and Judo
I agree, yeh I agree.. yeh I agree
Longest CZcams ad I've ever seen.
to be honest i think the takedown situation is less of an issue these days. More people seem to be able to do it. Finally seeing that its all the same stuff. Grappling is grappling. And sport jiu jitsu thank fully lets you express the most pure form of grappling.
Was a training Methodologies podcast ever released?
I want to know John's opinions on Teddy Riner(10x World Champion + 2012 & 2016 gold medalist from France). Riner is the greatest of all time but John never mentions him.
Interesting 🤔
Is Bernardo saying words or just making sounds sometimes?
9:15 George wrestled in school, and did compete. There is video footage available.
Release date for this anybody ?
Really look for that self defence BJJ fanatics.
John is going to be touching on self defense in this series, but check out Eli Knight on youtube and bjj fanatics for now. he puts out great self defense and street fight bjj material
brad bettis I know, but he said he is going to have a whole series on that too.
@@defuwan4337 yea i heard that too and am excited for it too. but john is doing this series, then another no gi series before that. so you have years to wait. thats why i recommended eli for now
brad bettis I recommend Demian Maia’s check it out from his Instagram page.
Mr. Danaher you must also think about revamping the self defense aspect of bjj. To many techniques are still being taught in static with no resistance from a live opponent and are out dated? Out dated self defense techniques will not work against resistance and will not work against an opponent who is bigger and stronger than you, especially for women who want to learn self defense? This aspect of bjj must be addressed, if leglocks and takedowns can be improved and made better for bjj so can self defense?
it would be nice if they put markers on this im sure it will be interesting but 2hs is a lot
Great view, what city is this?
Looks like the West Side of NYC. That’s the Hudson River that separates NY & NJ.
I would like these styles to merge again. There is Greco-Roman and there is Freestyle wrestling, why not classical judo and freestyle Judo? Everything is about the rules. Do we keep Ippon throws? Do we keep pins, not necessarily for the win, but I think it should remain for points scores. And how much time on the ground? I would suggest 30 seconds.
When Danaher speaks, I listen.
So when is it coming out?
A week ago on his Instagram he said 3-4 weeks so 2-3 weeks
Is this going to be in the gi, or no gi as well?
this one is all gi. after this feet to floor series john will release a another no gi series that goes over no-gi jiu jitsu as he teaches it. and a no gi version of wrestling appropriate for jiu jitsu goals like he describes here (he calls it scrimmage wrestling) will be a part of that particular series
O, ima subscribe....
Need Street Fighter: DDS edition!
Basically John is Dr Evil irl, That Chair, Death Squad, and the Collarless clothing
Why is amplitude and projection so important? Because sometimes you find yourself in a fight on a hard surface. That high amplitude hip throw will end the fight.
Who was the judoka he said bucheca took down?
Great 👍🏼 stuff - what are the main differences between Jiu Jitsu standing rules, Judo, & Wrestling?
