Still amazed John Danaher doesn’t have a Wikipedia page. Granted he doesn’t compete himself, but this man is a legend. Thank you for another great BJJ vid.
I am just starting BJJ for a few months now and luckily found your channel. These videos with John Danaher is so clear that I am becoming less frustrated on learning BJJ. Thank you so much!
I totally get that now....built on body movements, not technique....it is changing my jiu jitsu world. I had not heard it articulated until this video but what made me realize this concept was the Ryron Gracie vs. Andre Galvao fight. It has brought a sense of calm to my jiu jitsu in that now I know I don't need a technique....I need to develop my sense of feel and body pressure, then make an often small movement to take advantage of what I sense. Bravo! Thank you for the clarity.
Couldnt agree more. Fundamental is not a phase its in fact the most important part of the game. It is the foundation and top of it you build the rest of your game. I see too much focus on fancy moves and people lacking fundamentals. We have a fundamental class in our academy twice a week I go to them both more often. Most people in our academy think its a white belt class. Its stupid mentality. In fact some people think its embarrassing to go to these classes.
BERNARDO - You gotta get John up to Boston to film every weekend to finish the Fundamentals series! You're leaving money on the table, the sooner you produce, the sooner we buy buy buy
Check out the escape side control video for shrimping and hip movement. Not sure I can suggest anything for the latter. Good luck escaping side control and mount!
Just earlier today I was trying to decide which of John's or videos I should use to supplement my personal development, & focus on really understanding the fundamentals away from the academy as I restart my BJJ journey, or if I should bet Bernardo's foundation series. Well BJJ Fanatics made that easy by giving away John's Self Mastery: Solo Drills, and watching this sealed the deal as he clearly points out it is the movements, and ideas that are the cornerstone of our BJJ foundations, as everything rests, & is built upon them. I still need to get my hands on Bernardo's foundation series, but the solo drills should keep me busy for a bit. OSSS!
This was so good I haven’t started classes yet but I will be soon I spent most of this video rewinding and learning on my own great stuff guys thank you very much.
John, reminds of the 70s movie "walking tall". The motto was speak softly and carry a large stick. In his case, his technique is his large stick. Love these videos.
If you’re watching this in 2020, these heroes have put together a four part fundamentals series free on BJJ Fanatics to help the community during the quarantine. Do yourself a favor, go hammer the fundamentals while we’re stuck at home. Come back stronger.
the eagerness to learn from a 5 times world champion from the Bjj clinical coach, displays the fundamental of fundamentals, the willing to learn, the "shoshin", I can feel it and I am sure we are many to feel that, thank you to both of you for displaying fundamentals.
Once I finally realised to relax because I think of my principles. Is to know your fingers to your elbows are and my knees to my waste are and where your opponents are. Then to use push and pull similitaniosly to off balance and submissions. Two arms are stronger then one and legs are stronger then arms. Submitions are just bending body parts the opposite way and necks are weak. After I realised these four things, I'm more relaxed.
I'm not sure I understood the first part you said about "to know your fingers to your elbows are and my knees to my waste are and where your opponents are". But still, I get your point about everything else you said and I'm glad you phrased it that way. It makes me see it in a less complicated way and that should put me feeling at ease. Thank you for that.
@@Michael-cq7lq basically I meant like grips and framing. That's what I meant with my elbows too fingers. Knees for framing or Sheilds and of course hips for everything else.
My Gracie Barra is open in 2 weeks, I'm all signed up itching to go and I feel like by watching this I've got a head start over the other new starters on day 1 already!
Good luck to you! Keep learning from the pros like you've been doing and you'll be able to make rapid progress and eventually teach it in a similar fashion.
Sincere and utmost humble appreciations for taking the time to share this with all of us.

An honor and joy to be able to listen, observe and learn from such peers as yourselves. Sincere regards. Fellow martial artist. Tom Framnes. Norway.
Love it! Thank you for the details John Danaher, Bernardo excellent idea please make more of these. I predict your videos will be responsible for exponential growth of the sport. Let’s chart it.
I scissor sweep everyone, and always have. The trick is not pulling people over you, yes that's nice if you can get it, but anyone good can drop their weight back as shown in the video. The trick is shifting under the person. Mechanically it solves the same center of gravity issue, but is much easier. typically I break people down hard for the sweep as if I am going to load them up to do the normal scissor sweep (obviously if they give it to me great), but as they sit back and down I swing my body in and under them to the side I am sweeping changing the angle and coming under, and bam. In fact, most of the time I actually extend their arm and swing to the opposite side going for an armbar, and when they shift their weight back away from the armbar I swing 180 degrees under them and they are actually coming back over me.
I love & appreciate the free content, but I have my TV at 100 % volume & can barely hear danaher In any of these instructionals...its such a shame. Healthy constructive criticism please get turn up Johns mic In the future 🙏
Team Renzo affiliate from Kitchener, On, Canada. Thank you for this video. At 36 years old blue belt, I know my chances of being a world class competitor with other life commitments like family, might not be possible. However I do want to be an amazing coach and teacher, I help with the kids class now and it means alot to me, it motivates me to improve how I learn and teach. Tanks again. Jason Bartlett
...and that those same fundamental moves are utilized throughout the entire career of the mindful practitioner at ANY stage shows just how vital they are to learn.
If you think the volume of John Danaher's voice is too low in this video try wearing headphones. And then after you put your headphones in and you’re just chilling out sipping some tea listening to BJJ Yoda... ***DON'T FORGET TO TURN DOWN THE VOLUME WHEN THAT GOD FORSAKEN GORDON RYAN COMMERICAL COMES ON***. Or kiss your ears goodbye! 😅👂🏼
John breaks it down better than anybody,I think people need to stop using the term basic and advanced and just change peoples views on wat is wat it should just be that this is jujitsu and this is how you start and in terms of advanced moves it should just be how good you get at the art you will find more varied moments to achieve a submission or escape.
Good stuff but so quiet. Can you get your camera guy to boost the levels? I am in a quiet room watching on my cell phone and I have to have it right up to my ear.
Also PLEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE put a lav mic on John so we can hear him. Or run audio through a compressor to bring him up a little and Bernardo down just a bit.
this is really amazing content for someone new like me who just started out. My take on this is that as a beginner i should progress in this order: 1. escapes 2. guard retention 3. passing of opponents guard 4. attacks i suppose you will work on some of these things together but if i understand correctly the focus should be in this order. Thoughts?
I would agree. I’ve heard somewhere before that at the white belt level you should focus on getting good at escape and retaining guard since you will be in bad situations often. Then as you progress to blue belt you’ll have opportunities to pass guard and attack.
Please calibrate the sound: Bernardo speaks way too loud and John way too low. In order to understand what John says volume needs to be on max. Then, when an ad comes, it blows out my ears. Please fix this 🙏🏾

I love how Bernardo just sits in awe of John soaking up every word. 5/6 times world champion and yet still so humble and eager to listen and learn 👌🏽
That is why he is a champion - he is smart and always eager to learn

@@BerniesBootlegs1 dude great job, why the hell is it taking so much to be reviewed wtff
He’s probably not in favor of having one. He doesn’t own a computer.
He would rather spend his money on rashguards.

Other people talk louder and with more passion but I can’t hear John speak without falling more in love with BJJ. That’s a true teacher.
Settle down cowboy ;-)
i cant hear him speak
Guys I love you and thank you SO much for this FREE golden stuff.
Please turn the Yoda of Jiu Jitsus mic up. Please.. The way he explains thing is unreal. So much knowledge. Easily understood..

I'd say it's their loss.

Can you please make a video with John Danaher about shrimp and bridge? I think lots of subscribers would really enjoy it.
Check out the escape side control video for shrimping and hip movement. Not sure I can suggest anything for the latter. Good luck escaping side control and mount!
Ok I'll say it: John needs to talk louder or you need to turn his mic up.
I complain about this every video lol
The guy said he had a bad cold.
I'll turn it up to the fing max for the man
He is soft spoken. He uses his professor voice. Soak it in most knowledgeable teacher we have today!!
Every bloody video. He's a great teacher but it feels like he puts on this voice as part of his wank factor.
This man is very wise, but speaks, very softly, I keep trying to adjust the volume.
At about 13:39 that part where you use the mat squares to clarify a move? Straight up genius.
I thought exactly the same thing. Simply genius.
Best bjj channel on yt!
Always a pleasure to listen to both you guys!

You both are great teachets because everything good happens from derails
Thank you both for sharing such amazing information! Love you both!!
The difficulty lies in trying to remember all the knowledge being placed before you. Many thanks.
Drillers make killers
But keep in mind what professor Danaher said; focus on the priorities. This way you wont be overwhelmed.

Always Great with you two. Thank you for all the wisdom.

Awesome video! I'm wondering what instructional are they filming
He said on instagram his next series is about closed guard
Brilliant Coaching ZffZ
Bjj fanatics need to work on some lapel game... MIC on the lapel
They’re clutching and grabbing at the lapels constantly. Plus, they’re chest to chest a lot. It probably wouldn’t work.
He's 53? Wow. I would have said he was in his 30's.
I always use a volume booster app ;)

"Let's consider the flying armbar" - 17:20 Bernando is like hell yes oh man that's an intense one oh we're not actually doing it
Pow! Parceiro manda uma legenda nesse vídeo ou faz um vídeo em português explicando esses fundamentos. Seria ótimo.
This man breaks my brain... I feel like I'm learning new math...
"One move can teach you many moves, and that's what makes it fundemental."
...and that those same fundamental moves are utilized throughout the entire career of the mindful practitioner at ANY stage shows just how vital they are to learn.
A year later, I hope you guys can invest in a SteadyCam
Does John have a list of fundementals some where? Bridging, kipping, shrimping? Any others? Gripping perhaps, base?
Question, in the go further go faster videos, what is the sequence of doing videos, does close guard first?
I agree with the last person, I have to out it on closed caption because John is so quiet I cant understand him please turn up his mic.
Great scissor sweep.

Nice Vid, but cant hear John voice...
Give this camera man a fix of what ever he needs
What exactly are Johns 4 mount subs? I’m guessing arm-tri, armbar, keylock and top-tri???
John breaks it down better than anybody,I think people need to stop using the term basic and advanced and just change peoples views on wat is wat it should just be that this is jujitsu and this is how you start and in terms of advanced moves it should just be how good you get at the art you will find more varied moments to achieve a submission or escape.

Good stuff but so quiet. Can you get your camera guy to boost the levels? I am in a quiet room watching on my cell phone and I have to have it right up to my ear.
Danaher monstruo, Farias champion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Invaluable!
Audio quality not good guys
God damn this motivated me
I'm sitting here with a cone up to my ear speed tapping the volume up button screaming, "GOD DAMN IT JOHN SPEAK UP SO I CAN GIT SMARTUR!!!"
Then the Gordon Ryan commercial cones on and deafens you.
You put all of your opponent's weight into one limb before taking it away like you put all of the dirt in one place before sweeping it away.
Very cool analogy. Love it!
Amazing, but i can't hear a thing...........
Me too. That's also why turn on the close caption.
I'm gonna have the best escapes in BJJ. I just never come to train. Never getting tapped and escape all the things.😅
It's not the move, it's the CONCEPT.
Volume is sooo lowww
Thats just Danaher
Marcos barbosa has the right idea and clips a mic to his gi when doing vids
Bedrock of technique is movements and concepts (principles)
I would love to watch this but can't hear anything.

Also PLEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE put a lav mic on John so we can hear him. Or run audio through a compressor to bring him up a little and Bernardo down just a bit.
Please teach us rubber guard defense and related submission escapes ,nowhere in the internet good defense is available
What do you think about Eddie Bravo? I love his teachings on the Rubber Guard and everything else.
@@Michael-cq7lq great. Creative and unorthodox.
But I asked for rubberguard attacks
When he says flying armbar does he say the girls love it?😂
No wonder his team is so strong
this is really amazing content for someone new like me who just started out. My take on this is that as a beginner i should progress in this order:
1. escapes
2. guard retention
3. passing of opponents guard
4. attacks
i suppose you will work on some of these things together but if i understand correctly the focus should be in this order. Thoughts?
I would agree. I’ve heard somewhere before that at the white belt level you should focus on getting good at escape and retaining guard since you will be in bad situations often. Then as you progress to blue belt you’ll have opportunities to pass guard and attack.
Love the video. However, advise your cameraman to never drive a dynamite truck.
fastest 37 minutes ever
Why is Danaher whispering like the CIA has the dojo bugged, lol
There’s so much talk about fundamentals and the importance of them but nothing really outlining what the fundamentals are
i see john danaher and click
True dat
All ways go back to basics. How did Royce gracie win ufc? With white belt techniques
True - at that time, against opponents who had likely not seen these subs and did not know counters
it looks like michael j fox took over from darth vader as camera operator.
I really want to watch this but I a t hear it at all
Please calibrate the sound: Bernardo speaks way too loud and John way too low. In order to understand what John says volume needs to be on max. Then, when an ad comes, it blows out my ears. Please fix this 🙏🏾

Such a good video. So poorly filmed and produced...
I bet Danaher is saying some good stuff, but unfortunately he chose to whisper the whole time so I have no idea what’s going on
