What's always most amazing in these videos is Bernardo Faria's eagerness to learn new things and his humility in his art. Dude's a 5x World Championships gold and 6x Pan American Championships gold. Sometimes the guys in his videos are much less established than he is, and he's still so respectful and eager to learn. So much respect for Faria!
People clown John Danaher in the comments but I learned more from his RUclips videos and instructional than I did from my first instructor (who I was training with for 3 years). My first instructor held back knowledge. A lot of politics. John gives away intricacies and details for free and people still complain. Head scratcher.
A lot of ppl take the piss about how long and theoretical his videos and explanations on techniques are .. But you can guarantee 99.99% are paying attention to every minute detail and everyone who watches learns at least one thing regardless of the level your at
Yeah, a lot of people like to goof on his tangents, but I don't think there are many sincere complaints. It's just funny. We all know he is dropping some serious knowledge bombs
Me: Mr. danaher, how do I make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? John Danaher: Well, first we need to discuss the system of peanut cultivation in the Jiangsu, Shandong, Guangdong, and Henan provinces of China and how seasonal climate changes effect growing cycles and impact exports to the USA. The peanut (groundnut) was introduced to China by Portuguese traders in the 17th century and another variety was provided by American missionaries in the 19th century. During the 1980s, peanut production began to increase, a major factor being the household responsibility system, which moved financial control from the government to the farmers. By 2012, it was producing 16.7 million tonnes of peanuts annually.Peanuts are often used to make peanut oil, a popular ingredient in Chinese, South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Although China is by far the world's largest producer, the per capita consumption of peanuts in China as of 2009 was stated to be comparable to that of the United States. Most experts attribute the introduction of the peanut to the Portuguese during the Ming dynasty. Portuguese and Spanish traders introduced a number of crops to China during this period, including sweet potatoes, maize, potatoes , peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins, and tobacco. The peanut was introduced in Fujian at the start of the 16th century, and by the end of the century had spread to Zengian. American missionaries introduced the Virginia peanut in the middle of the 19th century. Archaeological finds of purported ancient carbonized remains of peanuts during excavations in China have led to the controversial claim that the groundnut is an indigenous crop, or that explorers from China or elsewhere in the Old World had discovered the Americas and introduced crops from there millennia before Columbus.

John Danaher is a terrifying man. I love how detailed he is and how he breaks down every step of the sequence. I could listen to him talk about jujitsu all day everyday. That attention to detail is the difference from being good and being great at anything you do. I've never been more scared of another human being. No room for error with that guy.
I don't get the comments here. People are getting a top expert teaching them a nuanced martial arts technique for free, and they complain the video is too long...
While most are jokes, It's also a valid criticism. Brevity and clarity are important skills as an instructor. Not saying Danaher doesnt have them but his style of teaching is not conducive to how most people learn. You also don't need this much detail to execute properly.
Right after the first choke at 12:19, you can see the emotional pain in the eyes of the Bernardo when John says "Now, let's have a look at that whole sequence one more time."
Wow that was mind blowing. The amount of intricate detail to a nasty choke. Love how the professor breaks down each step to lead up to the choke. Thank so much. Now I will never lose when I'm in that situation.
John Danaher: Lets go over this sequence once again. Bernardo: thinking Fuck no haha Awesome methode brothers very very helpfull. And i wish you a happy new year and all the health love and succes
Watched this video and got my first tap using this rear naked choke on my second rolling session back when I started BJJ. Excellent demonstration and attention to detail
As a purple belt speaking to younger belts, this is gold guys. And i mean this is gold for everyone myself included. I came here looking for something to guide me in my goal of bringing my back attacks to the next level. Im going to to spend the next several months perfecting this. My goal is to have a path to the back from standing passing guard, seated with open guard, and from mount. For the rest of this year my only goal with my training partners will be to follow my path to the back and exercise this choke GOLD Thanks for free and great content Bernardo and John
John, please consider doing a BJJ for self defence/MMA DVD. You are not only known for being the best coach for sport guys like Gordon Ryan, but also as a coach to guys like GSP. Thanks!
BJJ is for self defense and MMA. You should just learn BJJ. It's not like there's a special set of moves. Just if you have guard on the other guy, lock him down and try not to get hit while you work your game.
@@marcuspiscaer4120 no shit dumbass. You're gonna get hit from positions you can get hit from. It's literally the same thing, but with striking mixed in. I don't think there's a video version of that. You want to learn how to neutralize a person's arms as they're striking you while in your guard? Learn how to break their posture, trap an arm, and throw your legs over for an armbar. You want a list of moves you shouldn't use while getting hit in the face?
Mr. John, great demonstration of the art of jiu-jitsu. You know, I,ve learned that detail for the last part of strangling, the 'water tap's crank rotation around the neck from Crolin Gracie, in the early eighties...Crolin is one of the best jiu jitsu teacher ever! Congrats for your observation of the move, during the years I've never seen most of black belts acquainted with this particular detail!
The detail of rotating toward choke arm is pretty dope, for the longest time I would squeeze both elbows together but the squeeze plus rotation is way quicker
Perfect RNC by John Danaher (list format) 1st: control need to prevent opponent from rotating inside arms need to have one arm over the shoulder (strangle arm), and 1 arm under the shoulder (control arm) can lock hands together in "seatbelt" grip, which is either gable grip or clinch grip (control arm top) OR open hands with 1 on 1 grip. control arm hand is grabbing same side opponents hand with thumbless grip both will feature the strangle arm's elbow pinning the opponent's same side shoulder to prevent rotation 2nd: strangle setup: first problem is opponent putting chin down to chest defensively - need to create enough distance between chin and chest to fit wrist/rest of forearm think of hand as knife, use protruded knuckle of thumb with flattened fist to wedge between chin and chest first point of contact is thumb knuckle behind ear, digs in underneathe jaw towards chin once thumb penetrates, flatten hand completely against chest and use fingers to walk hand across once wrist penetrates, use flattened hand to lift with fingers against chest and shoot arm through finish: curl hand of strangle arm back behind nape of opponent's neck, hidden away and grabbing onto opponent's neck use head as wedge on top of strangle arm hand putting pressure into opponent's head to prevent movement take control arm out, put control arm's elbow over opponent's shoulder, and pass hand across opponent's neck blade strangle arm hand out into elbow joint of control arm grab own shoulder with control arm hand, lock in place by lowering chin onto forearm use rotational method of bringing strangle arm elbow over opponent's same side shoulder, rotating using back muscles
Started training about 3 months ago. Once/twice a week, religiously (save healing time on ribs). The amount I do not understand is voluminous. But John Danaher, is truly a wizard in application. This is enlightenment. Thank you for sharing... Oss!
Interesting fact is the name « mata leao » historically comes from Hercules killing the Nemean lion by strangle ( in some mosaics using a guillotine choke; but in most of mythologic stories, after taking his back so probably some « mata leao ») You have a lot of ancient mosaics with fighters using this exact technique
So good that even the camera man is choking from hearing the explanation.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣fucking hilarious
That's why it's called "the perfect rear naked choke" lol
hahahahaha
john acosta ok lol
Hahahaha

Thanks... I spit my tea all over my laptop when I read that 😭🤣
the moment he said ''lets do that sequence one more time'' my heart broke for bernardo
LOL!!!

in this case though, he is the student. John Danaher is the best BJJ teacher on planet Earth!
It's a hayooj honor hor him that's why
Bernardo is a bjj treasure
And he’s in there like a white belt who just got bit by the jits bug. Shit is admirable
Legend
I have to admit I love hearing the important details that most coaches miss or don’t discuss. Danaher is a legend.
I agree. My BJJ professor taught me to do a RNC that way because nobody can defend against it.
for his full series hit me up
Pro Seller post it
His attention to detail is amazing
Pro Seller how we meant to hit u up mate?
People clown John Danaher in the comments but I learned more from his RUclips videos and instructional than I did from my first instructor (who I was training with for 3 years).

who is complaining bruh

I don't think ppl complain just the internet jokes about hire knowledgeable he is, so they throw jabs but we all appreciate his mentor
Yeah, a lot of people like to goof on his tangents, but I don't think there are many sincere complaints. It's just funny. We all know he is dropping some serious knowledge bombs
Idk, anyone who complains about Danaher's teaching but if they do, I'm sure they never pull guard, so screw em.

Me:...
Didn't read!
Too much information!! LOL
Yeah but the Danaher Deli Squad dominates in NoGi PB&J so he's doing something right
Hahaha!
Thanks, I learned a lot about peanuts from this
Speaking of air supply, I'm worried about that cameraman's breathing. Is he in a RNC?
🤣
I was drinking water, all of that is on the floor now 😂
RNS
😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Darse Vader
No Doubt John is one of the greatest Instructors of our time. Any time John Danaher speaks about BJJ I'm willing to listen.
Watch St. Pierre's finish against Bisping, and he executes the RNC exactly this way. Danaher tutelage in effect.
Nice, gotta watch again.

Mighty Spider they don’t realize the Bjj scientist is in session 😆

Low IQ

This is pure gold, never seen such a precise, detailed and deadly description. thank you so much
for all his series hit me up
🤝
When you forget your tripod and gotta use a sleep apnia machine instead
Omg😂😂
Watched this video and got my first tap using this rear naked choke on my second rolling session back when I started BJJ. Excellent demonstration and attention to detail
I just started training BJJ and I’ve taken 6 classes and WOW this explanation is just wonderful. Thank you!! Looking forward to my next class!
so hows the bjj going? you keep up your trainning?
Gordon Ryan vs Galvao is even more impressive considering that galvao has literally no neck
he loves to teach , literally the greatest to ever do it , JOHN GODAHER
4:15 rnc
12:20 repeat
17:43 proper seatbelt control
To understand the hear naked choke we must first understand the nature and evolution of the cochlea.
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol true
Haha
This is awesome, classic Danaher style of explanation
Trachea. The cochlea is part of the inner ear.

Thanks for free and great content Bernardo and John
How did your plan go??
Love how John goes into the tiniest details
The way John Danaher talks about Jiu Jitsu is just Beautiful, This Guy is Just a Master.
22 minutes well spent. All the little details... what makes John a master instructor. Always a pleasure to watch him!
Very detailed as always. Thanks Bernardo and John! ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Guys!
literally never knew what an actual rear naked choke was before this. Amazing sequence
Love, love, love this!!! John, your wisdom of this game is unreal.
Thank you
Thumbs up for John Danaher sharing this with all of us.
Absolutely enjoy the technical analysis. John's humble, cerebral approach is what entices me to this sport.
22 minutes of gold, thank you John 🙏🏻 god bless you
I love John's pedantry when describing the differences between choking and strangulation 😂
What an amazing instructional video. John Danaher is an elite master trainer. This video has immeasurable value for self defense students.
Danaher is a priceless gem. Thank you Bernardo for sharing your collaborations with him.
the way he communicates, he makes it easy for anybody to apply these techniques. That in itself is a huge skill.
It's a huge honor to watch this.
john is such a good teacher.
John, please consider doing a BJJ for self defence/MMA DVD. You are not only known for being the best coach for sport guys like Gordon Ryan, but also as a coach to guys like GSP. Thanks!
Marcus Piscaer he also worked as a bouncer
BJJ is for self defense and MMA. You should just learn BJJ. It's not like there's a special set of moves. Just if you have guard on the other guy, lock him down and try not to get hit while you work your game.
@@redditate4587 GSP says otherwise, as does Maia, Carlos Newton, Ryan Hall etc...I trust them.
Try doing an over under pass or hooking a leg when in guard during an mma bout and report back.
@@marcuspiscaer4120 no shit dumbass. You're gonna get hit from positions you can get hit from. It's literally the same thing, but with striking mixed in.

Bernardo and John are some of the best coaches of our era.
I could listen to Mr. Danaher talk about anything. Very good video.
Not only a brilliant tactician, Danaher is an outstanding instructor. No wonder he makes the best.
Mr. John, great demonstration of the art of jiu-jitsu. You know, I,ve learned that detail for the last part of strangling, the 'water tap's crank rotation around the neck from Crolin Gracie, in the early eighties...Crolin is one of the best jiu jitsu teacher ever!
Congrats for your observation of the move, during the years I've never seen most of black belts acquainted with this particular detail!
We are so lucky to have you guys on RUclips
This really is amazing. Anyone who bought his instructional videos recommended?
Very, very, very articulate. What a fantastic teacher. Please get him back. Ossssss.
Thank you so much for publishing this for free 👊🏼
Wonderfully explained and shown like a professor. Thank you very much and best regards.
You both have the best DVD's.
This is shockingly good!
Absolutely beautiful. Blessed to have this information so easily accessible
What an amazing time we live to easily consume knowledge from top tier trainers of martial arts a mere few clicks away.
Danaher is brilliant. Such an intelligent mind. Such an asset to the BJJ community
Huge honor to watch this video.
Bernardo "Huge Honor" Faria
Bernardo "Hear Nake Choke" Faria
The detail of rotating toward choke arm is pretty dope, for the longest time I would squeeze both elbows together but the squeeze plus rotation is way quicker
Great lesson.
This man is amazing such a good teacher, thank you for your knowledge now I can teach my kids the right way of Bjj.
I learn crazy by watching. Once I practice this all week. It's in the vault. Thank you both 🙏Amazing demo wow can't get this anywhere...
Love these vids! Great job! Danaher is Yoda. Extra points for Darth Vader behind the camera
John, you're a hero!
Outstanding demonstration and detail!
I like this instruction best. So detailed.
Thank you for this free content, & some amazing videos Bernardo, & John. OSS!
Hands down the best explanation!
Perfect RNC by John Danaher (list format)
1st: control
need to prevent opponent from rotating inside arms
need to have one arm over the shoulder (strangle arm), and 1 arm under the shoulder (control arm)
can lock hands together in "seatbelt" grip, which is either gable grip or clinch grip (control arm top) OR
open hands with 1 on 1 grip. control arm hand is grabbing same side opponents hand with thumbless grip
both will feature the strangle arm's elbow pinning the opponent's same side shoulder to prevent rotation
2nd: strangle
setup:
first problem is opponent putting chin down to chest defensively
- need to create enough distance between chin and chest to fit wrist/rest of forearm
think of hand as knife, use protruded knuckle of thumb with flattened fist to wedge between chin and chest
first point of contact is thumb knuckle behind ear, digs in underneathe jaw towards chin
once thumb penetrates, flatten hand completely against chest and use fingers to walk hand across
once wrist penetrates, use flattened hand to lift with fingers against chest and shoot arm through
finish:
curl hand of strangle arm back behind nape of opponent's neck, hidden away and grabbing onto opponent's neck
use head as wedge on top of strangle arm hand putting pressure into opponent's head to prevent movement
take control arm out, put control arm's elbow over opponent's shoulder, and pass hand across opponent's neck
blade strangle arm hand out into elbow joint of control arm
grab own shoulder with control arm hand, lock in place by lowering chin onto forearm
use rotational method of bringing strangle arm elbow over opponent's same side shoulder, rotating using back muscles
Thanks again Bernardo. Love these guys Danaher great teacher ❤
This video is pure gold!
This is really good walkthrough of it, very detailed.
this is why I love jiu-jitsu, subtleties like this!
Nice clear precise - simple !
👊🏼😉👍🏼
Started training about 3 months ago.
Once/twice a week, religiously (save healing time on ribs).
The amount I do not understand is voluminous.
But John Danaher, is truly a wizard in application. This is enlightenment.
Thank you for sharing... Oss!
Master class
What an excellent teacher with exceptional knowledge. Thanks for the video
He’s a master at his craft
My mind is blown. Thank you for all this. Thanks
This man was born to teach.
This man is a scientist. Amazing.
amazing i absolutely loved the technique in this
Thanks guys! Also thanks to sleeping Darth Vader for filming!
At this point in time. This information is being given away for free. Be thankful.
Very detailed, extremly helpfull! Thank you so much :D
Incredible detail and teaching. Thank you
I'm very interested to hear Danaher's reflections on BJJ in self defense.
TTHANK YOU JOHN DANAHER
Beautiful, and what a great explanation!
Interesting fact is the name « mata leao » historically comes from Hercules killing the Nemean lion by strangle ( in some mosaics using a guillotine choke; but in most of mythologic stories, after taking his back so probably some « mata leao »)

Phenomenal breakdown !!
John D is a legend
What a solid explanation. Very long but so worth it. It’s plugging all holes on my rear naked choke.
This is such a satisfying submission to get.
Any submission is satisfying but agree😈
enlightening to me.. it was different than i thought!
Outstanding explanation!
Hell yeah can't wait to try this, been having a hard time finishing the RNC!
So much detail…thank you
Wow, that is what I call a technical explanation...that was amazing! 🙏
Peace and Love from Aotearoa/New Zealand brother. Great video. Oss
