I'm a brown belt, 10+ years of training and have had the privilege of watching plenty of DVDs and attending seminars from many coaches in Brazil, and some foreign ones. That being said, I have purchased 5 of John's DVDs and have attended two of his classes and I can say, without a doubt, he is the best, most articulate coach, with the best material and best teaching skills in the world, bar none.
I've had the privilege of doing a few privates with him (a buddy of mine brought me along as the training dummy) and can say there isn't a human being on the planet that has more BJJ knowledge or the ability to pass it along like John. I've been doing BJJ since 2003 and when I did my 1st private in 2016 he showed me how to do a RNC significantly more effective & that's one of the 1st moves you learn when you start.
His breakdown and explanation of basic techniques is amazing. When I revisit a technique that I thought I have down, I pick up new details that improve my application of the techniques
Rapaz, eu tenho visto muito videos dele. Tem me ajudado muito a ensinar melhor. Descobri muito detalhe que eu fazia mas não tinha consciência e portanto não sabia ensinar.
@@chasematthew1757 I try and focus on just one thing when rolling. Just one. Eventually that sinks in and you move onto the next. Trying to do too much just clouds the mind.
Normaly i prefer short videos except from this guy. The amount of precious details is just ridiculous. Thank you so much for bringing him. This is gold
I was literally about to write the same comment when I glanced at yours. Spot on! The amount of “priceless” details in his explanation is ridiculous! And a lot of tutorials try to put a bunch of talk and explanations.... but you get on the mat and it’s difficult to execute when going all out.... This shit works!! PURE GOLD
I was watching this video and wondering why would anyone actually dislike this video? You have two respected black belts teaching you a 30 min lesson for free and you are like: "Nah, I am going to press dislike". Haven't you clicked on this video to learn something or what? Crazy... Anyway, thank you for this lesson masters John and Bernardo!
Less than three minutes in and you can just never stand immediately why John is such a successful coach. Not just his vast experience and knowledge. But his super clear and consist explanations
John's understanding and micro breakdown of each technique is phenomenal. He is a reverse engineer of jiu jitsu. He will go down as one of the biggest game changers in the art, probably the martial art world too.
I’m a beginner so I’ve really just been focused on defense . Today on gi class I was able to follow John’s classic mount escape and it worked for me . Best feeling ever rolling the opponent over
The sign of a great teacher in ANY topic....No matter how complex.... they can break it down, and make it understandable… And make it seem easy! John Danaher is a perfect example! One Has to have really analyzed, understood, and have the ability to communicate what they do in order to break it down in such a way. Amazing Martial Artist!
John is definitely a phenomenon in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. There is no other person in BJJ with such level of an academic approach as Mr. Danaher has. These details and the explanation are gold.
Awesome. I also really appreciate that he is aware of the importance of camera angles instead of leaving us without a visual of what he’s doing on the ‘hidden side’. Excellent as always, thank you
I came across this video while looking for ways to help my 8 year old son who just started. We watched and practiced this together and seeing his face the first time he escaped was beyond words since he's taken down almost immediately and struggles to get out. I've never seen him happier than when he's on the mats. This sport is a blessing, and the wizards like John who break this stuff down are Godsends. Thank you 🙏
As a white belt I didn’t really focus on learning crazy moves and the plethora of instructionals currently available. Now as a blue belt I’m starting to explore the depth of BJJ knowledge, and just this video has helped me with making my fundamentals better. Danaher is a brilliant, articulate instructor, very grateful to have watched this video
I spent 2 years plus learning BJJ. This 'primer' is so good that it fixed many of my errors in my escapes and even gave me a game plan against all opponents. You sir are a wizard and your material is well worth the price. Think about it. Imagine you're in a self defense situation. This primer makes sure you end up at least in guard and attempting to take the opponents back. No "noise". No "nonsense" The first 2 years is really confusing as we are just groping with all the major things in jiu jitsu without delving into the details and cementing the nervous system reflexes to carry out the motions flawlessly. If I had your instructionals since the beginning I'm absolutely sure i would have reached blue belt in a year training just twice a week and spending a few hours a week drilling your techniques with a partner.
Why? were you not taught these before you rolled? Seems a very strange 'class; where you are just told to roll without being told what rollin is or what and how to practice.
@@tonysicily2687 my first class i was taught one technique and then live roll. I was like a brawler with zero experience. I got owned, thankfully, because i was surely dangerous as hell. Moral of the story: some places don’t start with basic building blocks for everyone. You just drop in and go. I prefer John’s method of teaching.
Finding this instructional just made me cry in joy. I just got started with Bjj and I am completely addicted to it, for it's giving me drive and motivation to carry on in these rattled times. I owe you a huge thank you, John Danaher, for breaking down and dissecting the movements in such a well spoken manner. Thank you also to the team, filming and making these videos possible. Such a great value to all of us. Great channel! I am deeply thankful. Best regards from Allgäu, Bavaria, Germany.
Wow, John is among the most eloquent BJJ instructors I've ever heard. So clear, precise, and thorough. His passion for the sport comes through with every word. Thank you John! 🍻
I'm just glad John found Jiu Jitsu or he could've been on a different path. Incredible teacher who gives you all the right info you need in such a structured well explained way
Thank you for this! With the help of this video, I was able to do an elbow escape from the opponent's mount position and I did the final submission in a fight against a more experienced training partner exactly as you show it. That was my 3rd BJJ training in my whole life. I am an absolute white belt. I woke up, go to bed, dreaming with this video. A tried it in my mind a million times. I was lay down to the floor and do it with an imagined opponent. I think that was the key of my success. But I have many-many fault in my movements. So I will practice it at least 10 000 times while it will be perfect. Thank you. :)
I have zero experience in BJJ yet thanks to this video I am able to be more involved and help my son (who just started training 12 days ago) to get out of bad situations
Am sold! John Danagher is indeed a BJJ professor of Phd caliber. Just listen to the simplicity of his detailed explanation of very complicated techniques (“to new students”, and seasoned ones alike). All the freshmen class now definitely get it.
One of the best teachings I’ve seen. I’m a lifelong wrestler stepping into bjj at 30 and it’s a whole different world. I feel like wrestling is 2D and bjj is 3D. You need to be soo much more conscious of your legs and whole body as one unit.
Yes they go together wrestling is mostly on the feet really once you are taken down you are beaten to a point Bjj starts on the ground really you can't submit from standing so they really are not comparable. . . One of my friends would try to grapple me I wrestled and he did bjj for like a month and I would take him down and I would stop and he's like we just started and I'm like no I pinned you. .
The beauty of what John does is that he is able to condense the key fundamentals of each situation such that even if you only remember the why of how you apply each technique you could use that to change exactly how you apply the technique and still be successful.
New to the sport - Day 2 in the bag and the biggest factor driving anxiety is NOT KNOWING WHAT YOU JUST DONT KNOW and this is absolutely great instruction. Having some techniques to focus on during my survival period or at least what I perceive as survival period, will help me focus on some goals through this content. Thank you Bernardo for putting this one together sir.
I'm right there at this point. It's exactly what I keep saying while rolling.. I don't know what to do or what I'm doing. It's a struggle fest! Lol how's your 1st year?
@@axmnstrbnd im at my fourth month, things are finally starting to make sense. bjj was a weird, incomprehensible thing in month one. it gets better - fast!
@@ruutjormun2262 awesome!!! Things are starting to click for me now! I don't feel as lost in my movements, and I have a few moves in the bag now. Absolutely fired up on it, and my only regret, is I wish I started 15 years ago when I was first introduced to it. But as they say, better late than never, right!? 🤜🤛
John Danaher. Absolutely diamonds and pearls of jiu jitsu wisdom. THE best coach in my humble opinion. The standard everyone that coaches should aspire to.
You always have to listen when greatness is talking. Very thorough but not too wordy nor over explanation on the subject. The "thumbs down" are probably from the ones always on the receiving end of those elbow escapes and "murder's rope" strangulations.
I am glad there was no camera when I was the one getting choked during my class. Those chokes are no fun to be on the receiving end. The pain goes from zero to 100 with very little in between. Also .... great video.
So as a 3-stripe white belt, I tried this tonight. Whaddya know ... it WORKED!! Blue belt asked me after ... "how did you defeat my side control?" Worthy of a subscribe!
Went to my first class today just practicing fundamentals, primarily escaping a pin from side-control. Slightly different method but the approach was very much the same. This kind of video is really eye-opening.
Love love love this Video, this is definitely one of my go to videos. I must have watched it 20 or 30 times Every white belt should watch and pay close attention to this one. Thanks John.
I love John’s explanations. He is articulate and extremely well versed that he breaks it down so that I can understand it. Also you know he’s not one who messes around when he uses the word strangulation to call a choke 🤣🤣
John is a one of the most talented instructors in the business. His purple belts are better than lots of black belts in other schools. Many thanks for both!
I can only watch about 4-5 minutes of Danaher videos. Then based on what I can remember, I need to hurry to try them out and get them cemented in my brain. Then, run back to the computer and watch the next segment, then run back to gym to try that set out, repeat for life........
Wow this guy is very technical and detailed. And this is a good example of why it takes 12 years of hard and consistent training to get your BJJ black belt. There are so many things to learn and become proficient (to the point of muscle memory) in the art. The fabulous news to a newbie, is that after even 1 year, you'll be able to defend yourself against an average guy when needed. Cross training in kickboxing/boxing/muythai is also advised for a full package for self defense. Better to first try stay OFF the ground if you can end the fight quickly with a knee or elbow or kick. Thanks, very nice coach, will subscribe
A lot of video series that you can pay for will give you this same level of detailed instruction. John is available to watch on RUclips for free which is why people think he’s the best out there, but you can get the same instruction from other professors. Not taking away from John, he’s an absolute BJJ beast, but just saying.
Which belt are you in Jiu Jitsu?
white belt just started 2 weeks ago
White. Started last Monday at 34. What am I doing with my life?😅
White, immaculate

Apparently, he went to Columbia University for Philosophy
He looks like his booty smells like cheetos and that he bites his fingernails to nubs an that they prob smell like the butt

@Hail Cesar dude stuff like that makes my day.. i work construction an we say shit like that all day 😂😂 best humor
@@harryjohnson3617 Looking in the mirror again chief?
Not sure which is scarier, the cold look in John's eyes or the fact that he calls chokes "strangulations".
Thats how technical he his. Choke and stranglations have different meanings. Technically strangulation would be correct. I love to strangle people :)
"Strangulamento " as Brasilians call it and "Finalising" for Subs as I hear from Renzo in this same youtube , They sound awsome.
@@wesdowty79 In that case, I do miss strangling people and can't wait to do it again in the near future.

I've seen this three times so far, and will probably watch it quite a few more times.
He’s the GOAT undoubtedly
Just wanted to say Bernardo is the very best 'student'. The pair of John and Bernado is a brilliant combination. Such an effective partnership.
I like how he ties all the moves together at the end. Beautiful
I love the camera directions almost as much as the BJJ instruction.
Every time I see John teach I'm struck by his brilliance. So so grateful for this, will definitely buy a DVD.
20:08 *great summary!!!* thanks from a 9 month BJJ white belt in AZ!!
I am floored by John's teaching style, his content, and his capacity for professionalism. Holy friggin amazeballs Batman you got a golden guest.
I’m watching this everyday of quarantine and drilling this. And when I get back to the gym I will try to perfect this.
One of the best teachings I’ve seen. I’m a lifelong wrestler stepping into bjj at 30 and it’s a whole different world. I feel like wrestling is 2D and bjj is 3D. You need to be soo much more conscious of your legs and whole body as one unit.
Yes they go together wrestling is mostly on the feet really once you are taken down you are beaten to a point

I as a wrestler have been caught in countless leg locks. But trust me, the moment you get good at guard, you're going to give everybody trouble
It is extremely rare for me to sit and watch a tutorial video for more than 15 minutes. I watched this one from start to finish..twice. Thanks!
this is gold. if i could just remember any of this in the mat.
The beauty of what John does is that he is able to condense the key fundamentals of each situation such that even if you only remember the why of how you apply each technique you could use that to change exactly how you apply the technique and still be successful.

John is available to watch on RUclips for free which is why people think he’s the best out there, but you can get the same instruction from other professors. Not taking away from John, he’s an absolute BJJ beast, but just saying.
Tanner Torrescano that’s why I said beat on RUclips . I do have other instructional
For someone that doesn't train in BJJ but watched some other videos. I did find these much easier to do on the dummy cheers
AWESOME technique demonstrations! You are extremely patient in giving detailed explanations. Thank you.
