John mentions Judo here and there's a cultural thing in Japanese Judoka that they always want to win by Ippon (which is the Judo equivalent of a KO). Even when most Japanese Judoka are ahead on the scoring system, they are still constantly trying to score the "KO" because it's the highest form of Judo. They have a real pride about the art and always want to strive for that old school decisive blow. It's a great example other people, including other Judoka, could learn from.
When i read i title like this, there's only one possibility for me: my index finger instinctively curls on my right hand, my left hand holds my phone tight in a body triangle, using my curled index finger on my right hand i gently bridge it, creating a more straight finger, i press the thumb nail, at this moment the video has no choice but to play, iv now acquired a full state of "double trouble" on the thumbnail, it has only two choices, play the video or go straight to an advertisement. What you don't realise, while this was happening, my feet had control of my lap top and i not only acquired RUclips premium but i got one month free. Do you see what i done there? I forced the thumbnail to play the video, this is how things are done OK.
If psilocybin generated your UNCANNY Danaher impression, you should try rolling with people on your next trip to see if you can channel those Death Squad skills. Brilliant post, btw. 😄
I always thought that a submission only tournament with a time limit where both participants get disqualified if there was not a winner would be a way to pick up the action.
You have to create incentives for active games and risk-taking, just the way that boxing does. Taking risks and engaging the opponent is incentivized in boxing in ways it isn't in jiu jitsu. Also, having rules that favor the dynamic aspects of the art, including takedowns, throws and standing submission entries and submission attempts in general and give minimal rewards to guard passing and positional control would naturally result in a more exciting game.
They should make it so that if you don't submit your opponent in the time limit, both of you go out and the person in the next round you would've faced gets a bye.
Literally the most dominant boxer of the past 20 years is insanely boring. Floyd Mayweather. Boxing is just a sport people consume more easily; and the CULTURE of people needing or wanting the knockout is more prevalent because of how corrupt boxing judging is. From audience persoective the brain is more conditioned to accept punching as a valid form of combat. In fact, a lesson to take from boxing is just to have the shittiest judging panel around so players won't risk it and just go for submissions 🤣🤣
This is why Quintet is the best grappling show I've ever seen. So much action, submissions in that format and so fun to see which team gets to the end. So i think the rules can make a big difference. I hope other big organisations will start to take a similar approach as you could do it similarly with one on one matches too not just team matches.
It reminds of team judo matches or kosen judo. Making it a 'team' sport in a way also just makes it more entertaining in my opinion. Watching someone bring it back for his team is hype
Grappling needs to incorporate an Elo system at black belt. You get a significantly higher rating if you finish a match via submission under any recognised organisation. Only the top X amount of grapplers are selected each year for a division based on their Elo for things like Major tournaments like the Nationals, Europeans, Asian Open, the Pans and Worlds.
Dude what a combat genius, his whole point on the pin and judo throw being something you can come back from to win a fight, compared to a fight ending submission was interesting.
i thought that too at first but then the fight would basically be decided in the first 5 minutes by points, and there almost wouldnt be a point to the second half
I disagree with Danaher on the culture being what needs to change thing. Pro athletes will always try to win within the rule set. Rules are in place to make competitions fair and watchable. In soccer you used to be able to pass back to the goalie and they could pick it up, when a team abused this and time wasted the entire 90 minute game to win a World Cup the rule was changed because the game was unwatchable. They did similarly with the offside rule because players found ways to cheat and avoid playing the game. There are examples in every major sport like this. It’s silly and naive to rely on individual teams/competitors to be ethical and do what’s right for the greater good of the sport over their own individual self interests.
Soccer can get rid of offsides tho. Basketball doesn’t have offsides. It’s called cherry picking in hoops. It’s frowned upon but, that’s what defensive adaptability is all about.
That's true to the extent of the majority. But it's in the minority where the innovators and the best players arise. Look at Danaher's death squad for example. Like you said, the majority of jiu jitsu players would try to win by points, as per the rule set. But his team trains for submissions, which is significantly harder and more impressive. So, you're right. However, outliers are also a factor.
@@100mphFastball With modern football(soccer) being so fast I can't imagine getting rid of offsides... It would give us some hockey results. You can't compare basketball to football, offside rule is ever so needed to keep the game balanced imo.
It doesn't necessarily have to be an ethical decision; it can also be a financial/branding decision. Athletes who want to stand out and be a star in their sport, whether to gain sponsorships or just for the sake of reputation, will go above and beyond just aiming for a "safe win". You see this in other sports where athletes try to be exciting to watch, but there usually has to be a sufficient financial incentive; jiu jiutsu might still be too much of a niche sport for that incentive structure to work.
Also I think it would be more exciting for jiu jitsu to add a point cap that would end the match like it does in wrestling. If you’re up 15 pts in wresting match is over. I think that would also lead to more submission and is equally if not more decisively dominant than submitting your opponent. Also it may be beneficial to have a scoring system in which points for a submission is +6 for your team, +5 for a tech submission resulting from +15 score and so on and so forth.
Create penalties if your opponent breaks free from you and stands up. Create rewards for athletes who actually get submissions. Rules can help guide but John is right, it’s also a major cultural problem. Many gyms just want to produce “winners” but winning at any cost is probably not good for any sport.
The problem with putting these "elite grapplers" together? All they do is sit guard and attack leg locks. As someone that LOVE BJJ and trains often, I don't care how "elite" the competitors are, it is BOOOORING to watch two guys attack legs for 10 minutes. I want to see TAKEDOWNS, ground strikes, guard passing, etc. If you somehow force competitors to do TDs and add strikes on the ground, you will save BJJ as martial art, IMO.
He's 100% correct about the production value. I've begun looking in my area for a BJJ school since watching flograppling on RUclips. Didn't know they streamed the fights, new sub incoming!
When guys go on their back right away its just ridiculous. The attacks and movements are too slow, it's not high paced like wrestling or explosive like Judo. It's just a niche art for a niche audience.
My highschool son has followed his older brothers path in judo-sambo-bjj so has been grappling since he was in diapers. He tried looking for that G.Ryan sweep of Bucheca (or Garcia vs Popovich for you vets) at ADCC that his brother showed him and came across the whole 30mins fight on yt. Even thought he ran it at 2X speed, he said he was never so bored on a computer screen in his life. I've heard that from both young and old who love to roll for quite some time. I don't think I've ever heard this from people who do other sports.
The true beginning in what we today watch as No Gi, was back in 70' in copacabana beach where guys traing and sometimes fight on beach with boardshors and jerseys , used for surfing purposes on that time as My father used to say. I personnaly witnessed in late 80 and 90s lots of "nogi! at surfing spots in Rio.Congrats Amazing inteview very interesting.Congrats Gordon absolute dominace performance showing us how to do it,inside the mats.
It's a culture thing, but you can help that with a simple step: find a way to reward the ones who get submissions, the ones pushing for submissions. That's the best way. That's why the Abu Dhabi first 5 minutes failed. It's very well known and used in many areas, even whe designing video games, if you want the player to do something, you don't punish them for doing the other thing, but you reward them for doing what you want. That's how you create the flow towards your intention without frustration.
I disagree with this dialogue especially coming from two people who have never wrestled. Pinning someone in wrestling is incredibly difficult and not only does the person “not tap” they try to not get pinned vs someone willingly tapping. It would have been a better argument to say make a person pass out or break his arm
Pinning someone in wrestling is difficult because in the wrestling ruleset its the one thing that makes them lose, its the one thing you have to defend. But getting pinned or pinning ts not an inherently fight ending thing. Especially since wrestling pins do not differenciate the guard position and the guard pass the way jiu mitsu does. In mma many people go both shoulders on the mat for more than several seconds to guard or to even go for submissions. Its an amazing skillset to pin someone down but its not inherently a submission or knockout. Also im prrtty sure danaher works with olympic wrestlers, and joe wrestled briefly.
I don't know if Joe or someone who reps Joe reads these comments BUT he needs to bring back on Krystal and Saagar. I know he supports and watches them. I think since they left the Hill they probably need some more exposure and Joe would be perfect for that.
I like to imagine he gained his bjj skills in a dark pact where he had to sacrifice the ability to wear anything besides a rash guard in exchange for the abilities
Also it would encourage submissions to be rewarded for a submission. No one wants to exert themselves for 5 mins not to be rewarded only to find themselves exhausting for when the actual match starts.
6:42 There's a simple ruleset that would force JJ athletes to go for submissions. Submission Only matches and if after 10 or 20 mins no one gets a submission, you both lose and don't move onto the next round. No judges decision. Submit or you're out on your arse!! Finals have no time limit, so someone has to tap or admit defeat.
Gotta get *DEVON LARRATT* and/or *MICHAEL TODD* on the podcast. Armwrestling is growing like crazy right now and michael todd is right in your backyard
Learn the lessons from Judo, John, as you work to make Jiu-Jitsu more palatable to watch. And don't make the mistakes Judo made. Judo, as originally practiced by its founder, the Jiu-Jitsu master Dr. Kano Jigoro, and for many decades after, was as fine a martial art as you'll find, and would give modern Jiu-Jitsu a run for its money. The same cannot be said for the state of present-day Judo. In its pursuit to make Judo more palatable to watch - more spectator friendly - the Kodokan changed it. Slowly, gradually over the decades. The many small changes over the years added up and eroded the essential core strength of Judo. Because it became more spectator focused, deviating from its original priority of being focused on the practitioner. That resulted in Judo losing or minimizing techniques that are invaluable in a combat situation. Judo, as practiced today, is primarily geared to be spectator sport, rather than a combat sport designed to equip its practitioners with the best it can offer. So, one example, modern Judo has become more focused on the flashy standing techniques. The throws that impress spectators. And it downplays the newaza ground techniques, because that is slow and undynamic - boring for spectators. The Kodokan had decided it wanted to pursue massive growth and was prepared to change the sport of Judo to maximize its appeal to the growing audience of combat sport neophytes. As a result, by the time BJJ came along in the 90s, Judo practitioners were typically sorely undertrained in ground techniques compared to BJJ practitioners. And BJJ ate Judo's lunch. It didn't have to be that way though. Judo shares the same core Jiu-Jitsu heritage as BJJ. But the Kodokan had taken Judo down a different path, path that left its practitioners undertrained in some of the less-flashy, but essential, combat techniques. This approach made Judo a huge international phenomenon and fueled its growth for a number of decades. It even got Judo accepted as an Olympic sport, which Kodokan viewed as one of its crowning achievements. But ultimately it became a victim of its own success. And when a rival came along that had remained true to the core combat principles, it ultimately eclipsed Judo, replacing it as the global grappling art phenomenon, as we can see from the relative popularities of Jiu-Jitsu and Judo today.
You need a brand not just a sport. The NFL, NBA, UFC, EPL, UEFA etc they all have a brand. The closest thing for grappling is like ADCC or at one point metamoris & that honestly isnt good enough.
Don’t know if Joe or Jamie reads these comments (highly unlikely) but if so I’d like to make a request to have Derek aka more plates more dates along with Jay Cutler. Talk about steroid cycles and nutrition. I think that would be really cool to see
You can certainly incentivize winning by submission by having round robin tournaments where you go against all the opponents and only get points for submissions. That however, eliminates the concept of the supermatch, that big match between the two top grapplers to settle it all.

Danaher still wearing that rashguard since last time he was on jre. Can't get enough of this guy.
This guys always ready for a match
Also it would encourage submissions to be rewarded for a submission. No one wants to exert themselves for 5 mins not to be rewarded only to find themselves exhausting for when the actual match starts.
Love the show topics amazing collaboration
Can listen to this guy talk about martial arts forever
As a BJJ guy I gotta say that I'd love a UFC style organisation for pure BJJ/grappling. Looks like Flow is tryna get there.
@Johnny G What
Danaher's voice makes my soul shrink and escape my body.
6:42 There's a simple ruleset that would force JJ athletes to go for submissions. Submission Only matches and if after 10 or 20 mins no one gets a submission, you both lose and don't move onto the next round. No judges decision. Submit or you're out on your arse!! Finals have no time limit, so someone has to tap or admit defeat.
Gotta get *DEVON LARRATT* and/or *MICHAEL TODD* on the podcast. Armwrestling is growing like crazy right now and michael todd is right in your backyard
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!
Learn the lessons from Judo, John, as you work to make Jiu-Jitsu more palatable to watch. And don't make the mistakes Judo made. Judo, as originally practiced by its founder, the Jiu-Jitsu master Dr. Kano Jigoro, and for many decades after, was as fine a martial art as you'll find, and would give modern Jiu-Jitsu a run for its money. The same cannot be said for the state of present-day Judo.
In its pursuit to make Judo more palatable to watch - more spectator friendly - the Kodokan changed it. Slowly, gradually over the decades. The many small changes over the years added up and eroded the essential core strength of Judo. Because it became more spectator focused, deviating from its original priority of being focused on the practitioner. That resulted in Judo losing or minimizing techniques that are invaluable in a combat situation. Judo, as practiced today, is primarily geared to be spectator sport, rather than a combat sport designed to equip its practitioners with the best it can offer.
So, one example, modern Judo has become more focused on the flashy standing techniques. The throws that impress spectators. And it downplays the newaza ground techniques, because that is slow and undynamic - boring for spectators. The Kodokan had decided it wanted to pursue massive growth and was prepared to change the sport of Judo to maximize its appeal to the growing audience of combat sport neophytes.
As a result, by the time BJJ came along in the 90s, Judo practitioners were typically sorely undertrained in ground techniques compared to BJJ practitioners. And BJJ ate Judo's lunch. It didn't have to be that way though. Judo shares the same core Jiu-Jitsu heritage as BJJ. But the Kodokan had taken Judo down a different path, path that left its practitioners undertrained in some of the less-flashy, but essential, combat techniques. This approach made Judo a huge international phenomenon and fueled its growth for a number of decades. It even got Judo accepted as an Olympic sport, which Kodokan viewed as one of its crowning achievements. But ultimately it became a victim of its own success. And when a rival came along that had remained true to the core combat principles, it ultimately eclipsed Judo, replacing it as the global grappling art phenomenon, as we can see from the relative popularities of Jiu-Jitsu and Judo today.
You need a brand not just a sport. The NFL, NBA, UFC, EPL, UEFA etc they all have a brand. The closest thing for grappling is like ADCC or at one point metamoris & that honestly isnt good enough.
This the way
This is off topic, but please interview meet kevin.
Only a jiujitsu villain like Danaher can say "Mhmyess" instead of yes.
More like:
"mmMhyyyyyreusrs"
Don’t know if Joe or Jamie reads these comments (highly unlikely) but if so I’d like to make a request to have Derek aka more plates more dates along with Jay Cutler. Talk about steroid cycles and nutrition. I think that would be really cool to see
does anyone get ads on the podcast even though they have a spotify subscription?
You can certainly incentivize winning by submission by having round robin tournaments where you go against all the opponents and only get points for submissions. That however, eliminates the concept of the supermatch, that big match between the two top grapplers to settle it all.
