      They would need multiple severs with load balancers to be able to handle the massive amount of people tuning in. Also we would need a hour plus for the time limit.

      I could see his podcast being the BJJ version of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History! Insanely long, indepth, and riveting. After 17 hours on the closed guard you take a deep breath, exhale, and Google wondering when the next episode comes out.

  • @lampleather2574
    @lampleather2574 Před 3 lety +6

    The triangle is my favorite submission. I remember when I was only about 1 month into jiu jitsu and not sure if I would continue to keep training. My friends and I were getting drunk and high at the park and I’m not sure how it happened but my one friend who had a year of wrestling experience took me down to the ground and I locked my guard. My other friend who said admittedly “idk what’s happening but the guy on top is winning.” I then got double wrist control- he tried pulling his wrists away one at a time I let him have one and kept the other. I threw my legs up and over, locked it up and adjusted and got the tap about 5 seconds later. My friends were amazed because he was much bigger than me and I tapped him out. I was just glad in that moment that what I had learned in the past month was real. I had my doubts about it and have trusted jiu jitsu ever since that night. To me one of the best feelings in the world is submission. Knowing that if you weren’t playing the game- and it were a real fight for life, you would still win in most cases, is such a relieving feeling. Most of my anxiety in public was caused by being smaller than everyone else and knowing that smaller people lose to bigger people in most everything physical - including altercations. Now I can stand up for myself and one day I may have the confidence to stand up for other people

    Masaru Hayakawa, featured the first registered use of the move in a kosen judo tournament in Kobe, Hyogo in November 1921. A primitive version of the move had been shown by a Kobudō master Senjuro Kanaya around 1890, though it was apparently a simpler form of neckscissors without the posterior triangle action.

  • @TakedownBreakdown
    @TakedownBreakdown Před 5 lety +33

    John, I just want to say thank you. As a short person, I was deeply inspired by what you said about the triangle choke. You were superb in your explanation of the ideal body type for the triangle, but more importantly, you have hope to the short man. I admire everything you do, and I am a student at a distance. Even though I may never meet you, I take your principals to heart, and I admire your innovation. I also greatly admire your student, Eddie Cummings, who is my favorite of the Danaher Death Squad. Keep doing what you are doing as I am sure you are an inspiration to many. 👍🙏

    Danaher is really leaving money on the table and depriving the world of maybe one of his best gifts, talking and specifically by way of large scale video training.
    I could listen to this genius talk for hours about cat food, and I don’t have cats.
    I can’t imagine if he started a monologue podcast with deep dives into the amalgamation of history, philosophy, and martial arts as they relate to one another. It would no doubt be PHD level education quality.

    The first time most people in the West ever saw a triangle choke was in the first “Lethal Weapon” movie and they/we didn’t even know what it was. It was a move that looked so impressive, so unique and deadly that it blew our minds. It was taught to Mel Gibson by Rorion Gracie.

    I am amazed by John and his vast knowledge. Few BJJ practitioners even knows about variations of the sankaku jime/triangle. In my Judo classes in the early 90s, we trained all variations of it, from the back, the side and from the guard. In the last Olympics a Swedish guy who I actually trained with once, got to the bronze match by almost exclusively using the side triangle. There is of course the difference that you do not have to lock the choke (or alternative armbar) completely, since it is also works as a good pin/hold down.
    You may know that holding someone on his back in a dominant position for 25 seconds, is a way to win in Judo. And if anyone wonders, I tried to make a brief 40+ comeback, but my back couldn't take it. :(

  • @boyerindustries
    @boyerindustries Před rokem +1

    I bet If Danaher did a monologue podcast style high production value video of him reading the book of five rings & the art of war with him interjecting his own side tangents & anecdotes on philosophy & martial arts it would become the most listened to digital content in relation to martial arts, philosophy and their impact on life after a few short years. That would be my Bible equivalent and I’d fall asleep to it every night & listen to it to start every day lol

      And Starring! And not only BJJ but with cross references to other MA! Can you imagine him visiting historical places of martial arts like Greek, Japan (and Brazil? Etc.) while dissecting the development and techniques that lead to modern day BJJ! Imagine HIM, standing on the steps of an ancient japanese (samurai?) temple in a cloudy mountain region spreading his wisdom, just IMAGINE that!

    Further expansion on “leg-centric grappling” vs. “arm-centric” would be great. These concepts are taught in individual techniques, but I have a hunch that John Danaher has a system dedicated to this concept.

  • @iamawuss
    @iamawuss Před 3 lety +1

    The first BJJ class I took was an early morning one. It was myself, the instructor and one other white belt. Luckily, the technique that morning was the triangle. My mind was blown away that someone had invented, or discovered rather the technique. I thought strangling someone unconscious with your legs in seconds was something only hollywood could invent. If we had instead looked at some obscure sweep from half guard, for example, I'm not sure I would have come back for another class.

    This comment is aimed at the John and everyone featured in this podcast and this video series. I'm not a BJJ practitioner I'm a Kendoka but I'm also a coach and I'd like to let you know that although I come from another discipline I still gain tremendous knowledge and benefit from the information you've put out. I particularly like how John places so much priority on positioning and the importance of the legs in martial arts as a whole and in the context of BJJ. I'm looking forward to the coaching approach/training method pod cast when that drops. Thanks guys for the effort and passion you put into your craft.

  • @mikeprosia8106
    @mikeprosia8106 Před 5 lety +17

    Danaher suggests that Royce's triangle choke against Severn was the first in UFC history, and that the commentators had no idea what was going on. Both points are false.
    Jason Delucia defeated Scott Baker at UFC 2 via triangle choke. (Although many databases have it listed as submission due to strikes. Technically, Delucia had locked up the triangle choke from guard, swept Baker to mount, and it's unclear whether Baker taps from the choke or the punches) Furthermore, if you watch the fight, it's clear the commentator (Ben Perry) knew exactly what Delucia was doing, and repeatedly referred to it as a triangle choke while Delucia was locking it up.
    Funny enough, the Wikipedia entry on "Triangle choke" also completely fails to credit Delucia, however the UFC 2 entry does list Delucia's win as via triangle choke.
    (Similarly, Remco Pardoel defeated Alberto Cerra Leon via Ezekiel choke at UFC 2, yet most databases record this as an armlock win. Food for thought in relying on any database for historical MMA information.)
