I've modified my Jiu jitsu game in my mid-forties. I go 3x a week, and the other days I go to yoga. Quit eating grains and sugars to keep inflammation down, and I take ice baths a couple days a week. You gotta find what works for you.
My father has both knees replaced, the first of which was done 18 years ago, was only intended to last 10 years and still is good now. He also is overweight, like 300 lbs and 6'2". The other knee was done about three years later and they both are fine now. I think a big reason so many artificial joint replacements fail is because people don't do the rehab the doctors order. For a month after each replacement, I helped my dad with exercises twice a day, three times for the first week and that was on top of therapist appointments which were twice a day at first then once a day for the last couple weeks. 30 days after the first replacement he and I were walking through London, he used a cane, but at 60 years, not athletic and 300 lbs thats pretty remarkable.
Danaher is most likely the most dangerous man that you can learn to fight from. Hes a DAMN ENCYCLOPEDIA of technique. But some of his observations are about obvious AF. Hes a damn awesome coach though.
Some of the most important lessons in life are right in front of your face, sometimes it helps to have someone like a Danaher to remind you what you look at every day but fail to see.
Seen a lot of hip, knee, and spine surgery. You wouldnt believe how violent they are.... but the person can stand and go home next day usually. Amazing surgeries (had two disc surgeries and saved my sanity from pain!). But still do bjj! Like he says... you adapt your game for us older guys.
Knee is trickier to replace because of its somewhat complicated biomechanics. Actually, it is well known it is not a bone operation but soft tissue surgery. It is extremely important to get soft tissue balance correctly by a surgeon. It is not successful as a hip replacement (99% of people very happy compared to 80-90 with knee after 1 year). However, rehab is EXTREMELY important. Weight-lifting well needed- carefully ofc. If your surgeon and you both do it right there is no thing you can’t do, except maybe plane jumping without parachute
playing Rugby here in NZ ACL MCL injuries are common.. when you have 2 or more guys 90 kg and over trying to smash you at once if your not conditioned youll be injured easy.. i have regular pains from playing rugby when younger.
Im doing jiu jitsu having torn 3 ligaments and 2 meniscuses - the legens is right - you just a find a way around it. No matter what age you are - I am 25.
Dude, it's just not worth it, remember you're always a bad heel hook or jumping guard away from another injury, hell it could be a fucked up half guard or a pass, If you don't want to go pro there is no reason to risk it. Enjoy life, you're a warrior just going through it and being able to train again.
Stefanos Ziogas It has been one helluva ride 2 and a half years later. Havent stopped, I keep pushing. There were some issues with the meniscus bit I did a lot of off-the mat work like movement, bands, walking and the journey continues. My coaches taught me a lot of ashi garami offense/defense which helped my mentality and assisted in overcoming the mental barrier of getting injured again. Appreciate you following up, hope one day to get to roll either in Greece or Bulgaria 🤙🏻🤙🏻 Oss Mr Ziogas.
@@ridikrossbitch I'm happy to see you're healthy and put in so much work! Oss mr Filipov and I hope you'll be able to train in Greece and Bulgaria soon after the covid situation
I’m 19 and have the same problem both my knees have dislocated last year and I don’t know why wish I could get in contact with this guy to get some answers
Is there any proof of this guys knee injuries. It just doesn't add up. On his Instagram he is always kneeling down in a deep knee bend squat position and also is always sitting on his heels. If he needed a knee replacement he wouldn't be in those positions in every photo.
I think that hes ful of shit as well. I have beena grappler and a Judo practitioner my entire life. I have JUST had shoulder and right bicep surgery 2 weeks ago and Ive had multiple knee operations....this guys story is embellished quite a bit. Im not buying it
Yes you did if you wanna become a pro basketball player but it you love BJJ you can stay healthy by training well , recovering well and strengthening it. Listen to firas zahabi's podcast
Lifelong leg pain... teaches a whole squad of guys to destroy other peoples legs 🤔 lol
He's looking around like, "None of these mother fuckers are gonna walk right either."
That's some next level spite.
Safer than rugby it seems
lmao
Lmao!!!
Exactly what I thought 😆
After hearing his story i will never complain on my knee again. Much respect to you Sir.
Danaher looks like the Engineer from Prometheus
I was always thinking this. Finally someone who understands lolll
Wow, he started Jiu Jitsu in his late 20s! Now that's uplifting.. perhaps its not too late for me then. haha!
Never
Never too late, I think Eddie Bravo started when he was 28 or something.
I started in April 2018. Turned 40 in November the same year. My coach’s oldest student is 72. It’s never too late. Get after it!
This man is inspiring

so what do you eat?
hows cutting out the sugar helped you
46yo purple belt... gotta agree... have to adapt. I need to use more of a pressure game to keep the slippery eels in place.
Fergus
Slippery eels! Haha that's awesome
Angelo DelSenno lol.... I like Roy Harris's style of jj now that he is a bit older.
He's the Yoda of BJJ.
My God I admire this man beyond imagination.
John Danaher speaks really well and has a pleasing accent, if people want to grow the overall BJJ community they should let him do the talking.

What kind of surgery did you have to get for the discs? I assume for the back right?
@@sunnyrachelsson3169 probably a vertebral fusion.

From competition ??? You need to find a more safe gym. You will pay the price when you're 40

Been dealing with knee tendinitis for a year, taking some time off helps, but slowly it comes back. Any tips?
Do the Jane Fonda exercise
He shud get the damn knee replaced.. shuda done it ten years ago.. his quality of life would have sky rocketed with all the other things going for him
Rush Zan He did, you obviously didn't listen to the whole thing.
With permanently too short ligaments he may still not be able to completely straighten his leg. Hope I'm wrong about that.
Why is he whispering the whole time
I’m 19 and have the same problem both my knees have dislocated last year and I don’t know why wish I could get in contact with this guy to get some answers
You think I haven’t done that ya fuck
How did you hurt the knee
metalhead2508 you got a couple thousand for me to go?
Lmao... go to a freaking ortho doc man!
From BJJ leg locks ??

James Willingham please explain then, enlighten us if you know so much.
So so so so so so so cool
all that because they messed up at first on the knee...
Where can I get that Rash guard?
10+ years playing basketball and my knees feel fine, just started BJJ wondering if i made a bad choice....?
BJJ is much safer, cause you can control the action
Yes you did if you wanna become a pro basketball player but it you love BJJ you can stay healthy by training well , recovering well and strengthening it. Listen to firas zahabi's podcast
They cut your ligaments too short.. 💀💀💀💀
Rugby is brutal
You are guaranteed to have broken fingers and toes , for starters
🙏🏽👍🏽🤙🏽
i really dont think there is a more knowledgeable Jits professor, hes the worlds best teacher!
\m/ GSP \m/
is this type of pain worth the jiu jitsu journey?
Listening to him is painful
karl burke i think its relaxing
It sure is. He is like a creepy uncle
pretentious but creepy
Maybe he needs that all meat diet.
